Ingenious card-battling mechanics. A roguelike that demands sacrifice. Utterly delightful art.
The Royal Writ is a medieval deckbuilder that brings all this together: it’s got a bit of Balatro, a bit of Slay the Spire, and a lot of adorable battle-hardened animals. We’re thrilled to announce not only that it’s our latest partnered game, but that we’re working with its very special publisher to bring it to Just: Yogscast Games.
Let’s tell you more.


Rewards fit for royalty
In The Royal Writ, you must carefully place an army of animal soldiers across a three-lane battlefield. They deal damage as they advance - all brought to life with charming art and animations - but any card that reaches the enemy base is permanently destroyed for the rest of the run.
Our rewards are designed to get you digging into the game’s unique mechanics and celebrating its distinctive look:
Most roguelikes engender a hoarding mentality. Resources are precious and progress comes from being very careful in their expenditure. But in The Royal Writ, regular sacrifice is built into the design, and weighted with meaning: every fallen card tells a tale.
It’s a genuinely clever twist on roguelike design, coupled with instantly recognisable art and tight, compelling, addictive gameplay. We can't wait to see what you make of it.
Come and join the fun in Just The Royal Writ!
