Bleeding Cool reviewed Regalia: Of Men And Monarchs:

Regalia: Of Men And Monarchs Is Quirky, Good Fun

Klabater and Pixelated Milk’s RPG, Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs has received mostly positive reviews since its release on Steam back in May and it has absolutely deserved them. Regalia is an absolutely charming turn-based RPG adventure game, which manages to pay homage to the usual tropes while also poking some fun at itself. In Regalia: of Men and Monarchs, you are tasked with investigating your family’s ruin, and bringing your town back to life. But don’t let that fool you into thinking this is a tower defense game.

[...]

Regalia: of Men and Monarchs is a throwback game in the best sense of throwbacks. It isn’t a mindless attempt to ape an older style for profit, and it isn’t a trumped up remaster, it takes all the best moments of older RPGs as well as their low points, and sends them up with clear affection. When a vampire trots out a silly accent, the game’s protagonists usually respond with faces of disdain, and in doing so, Pixelated Milk invites us to share in the joke. And that might just be the best thing about it.

Score: 9/10

Regalia is a little gem that can show Dark Souls fans their dodgerolling and grinding is not what challenging means.
Yet no DS fan will dare to start playing Regalia, it's too cartooney they'll say. Yes it is. But it's hard.

9 is too high. IMO. The game has some… Bad design decisions, should post in finished thread some more. I'll try.
