About This Game

REALM ARCANA is an online 1v1 card battler where you become an Arcana Master, collect cards from different realms, build your own deck, and face other players across battlefields with strange and ever-changing rules.

  • Players take turns deploying units onto the battlefield, adjusting their formation as the opponent continues to make their moves.

  • Positioning, card abilities, and interactions between units can lead to completely different battle outcomes.

  • Once deployment is complete, both sides automatically clash. Card effects trigger, interact, and chain together until one side is wiped out.

In REALM ARCANA, the battlefield is more than just a backdrop. Each match features several randomly selected battlefields with unique rules that can completely change how your cards and positioning work.

  • In Illusion, the units you deploy can be copied again and again.

  • In Dark Dungeon, a terrifying monster devours cards straight from your hand.

  • In Jade Palace, every unit is reduced to the same base stats.

Different battlefields can give familiar cards entirely new uses. Read the rules, discover unexpected interactions between cards and the battlefield, and turn even an unassuming card into the key to victory.

  • The universe of REALM ARCANA is made up of many distinct realms, each with its own civilizations and ways of fighting.

  • Choose three realms and one Hero to build your deck, combining the strengths of different factions.

  • Will you pressure your opponent early or hold the line? Build around powerful card synergies or change your plan to counter the enemy? Different combinations of realms create entirely different ways to play.


Ancient ape warriors clad in armor, jungle beasts covered in liquid metal, mechanical creations that command flowing water, and forgotten figures and legends sealed within mystical cards...

REALM ARCANA features more than 200 original hand-painted cards, each depicting the creatures, civilizations, and wars of its many realms through a distinctive visual style.

Every realm has its own artistic identity.

And every Arcana Card is a fragment of a history that once existed.

The War Is Over. The Duel Has Only Begun.

In the beginning, the world knew only four elements: Water, Fire, Wood, and Earth.

Then, metal fell from beyond the heavens.

People discovered unimaginable power within it, and war spread across the realms. After countless years of conflict, the King of the Bloodrealm conquered them all and used the power of metal to become an immortal Dragon Emperor.

To preserve his rule for eternity, he outlawed weapons, burned written records, and erased both war and history from the memory of the people.

But history never truly disappeared.

In the shadows, a secret organization known as Xuanmen began to rise. They preserved the souls of forgotten people, creatures, and moments of history within mysterious cards.

Deep beneath a world that has forgotten war, the Arcana Masters continue to duel.

The war is over.

But the history forbidden from memory still lives on at the card table.
