Amazing game, after one of the twins died i traded the depressed twin for one of those gun using mouses, truely marvelous experience.
Sometimes a kingdom's problems can be solved by simple communication. That's why his illustrious highness decided to send out letters summoning some of the troublemakers to to his throneroom. And if the recipients are a little reluctant to accept the invitation? No problem! A little siege never hurt anybody.
The Royal Writ is a tactical card-game and an excellent showcase on how to be a good king.

Amazing game, after one of the twins died i traded the depressed twin for one of those gun using mouses, truely marvelous experience.
I feel like a literal scum after trading the twins for the Duke of Ernan, not realizing one of the twins will die, leaving the other one in depression.
Art is cute, gameplay is fun! I just wish there was more of it
The Good:
-Top-tier music and artstyle, which others have already pointed out.
-Simple to learn, yet engaging the whole way through.
The Bad:
-The Duke of Ernan snaps any challenge this game has in half. He gains an immense amount of strength very fast, at little-to-no cost. He can straight up solo levels.
-It feels like you're forced to throw your cards into the death pit in certain levels, which doesn't really feel satisfying. Yet, at the same time...
-...you aren't really penalized much for throwing your cards into death. The opposite, actually, it helps tighten up your deck by getting rid of your weaker cards. Just zerg rushing your cards in all the rows will win you most levels, especially with the Duke in mind.
-Certain cards are just bad, like the Ram and the Crude Gunner.
-Game overalls feels like there's tons of room for potential- and extra depth. Maybe adding in spell cards that let you move cards already on the path? Moving them back into your hand?
-No hard or endless mode, which kind of kills replay value, which sucks because the main gameplay loop is really cool.
I realize I've said more negative than positive here, but this game is so close to being something really great, it just needs some more... content in it, y'know? Hoping that comes.
short and sweet + very cute visuals !! love card games ... was very entertained
