Shattered

Arcana

Five Planes. A Thousand Spells. One Throne.

About the Game

Shattered Arcana is a massive 4X turn-based fantasy strategy game set across five planes of existence. Build your empire, master six schools of magic, command legions of fantastical creatures, and forge alliances with legendary Dragon Lords.

With 39 playable races, 55 dragon species, 450+ spells and rituals, naval warfare, and siege engines — no two campaigns unfold the same way.

Aurelith

The Golden Plane

Aurelith

The Golden Plane

Ancient seat of high civilization, where arcane academies tower over sun-drenched cities and wizard-kings hold court. Command armies of knights and mages, master divination and transmutation, and harvest the rarest spell components from its glittering plains.

High Magic · Political Intrigue · Scholar Races

Noctharion

The Shadow Plane

Noctharion

The Shadow Plane

A world of perpetual twilight ruled by shadow-lords and undead legions. Its labyrinthine underground cities hide pre-Shattering relics. Those who master Noctharion's darkness raise armies the living cannot oppose.

Necromancy · Stealth Warfare · Undead Legions

Verdantis

The Primal Plane

Verdantis

The Primal Plane

Vast jungles teeming with apex predators and raw primal magic. Elven war-druids harness the plane's life force while ancient nature spirits broker power with any faction bold enough to treat with them.

Primal Magic · Beast Armies · Elven Dominion

Infernyx

The Chaos Plane

Infernyx

The Chaos Plane

A volcanic hellscape where demon-lords wage perpetual siege warfare. Its chaos magic fuels the most destructive spells in the game, but the plane's instability can unravel even the most carefully laid campaign.

Chaos Magic · Demonkind · Siege Mastery

Aethermist

The Ethereal Plane

Aethermist

The Ethereal Plane

Storms and floating islands where cloud-riders and storm-weavers dominate the skies. Its aerial highways connect all five planes — making Aethermist the most strategically vital prize in the multiverse.

Storm Magic · Aerial Combat · Sky Fortresses

The World Awaits

An epic scale built for those who demand depth, strategy, and stories worth telling.

Five Planes of Existence

From the golden world of Aurelith to the Chaos Plane of Infernyx — each plane hosts unique races, resources, and arcane phenomena.

Each plane is a self-contained world with distinct terrain, magic rules, and victory conditions. Controlling a plane changes the rules of war for everyone in it.

Chromatic, Metallic, and Planar dragons — each with unique abilities. Recruit them as heroes, command dragon armies, or face them as enemies.

450+ Spells & Rituals

Six schools of magic, ritual casting, rune enchantments, and summoning systems. Craft your arcane identity across thousands of hours of play.

Magic is learned, not given. Spells are discovered through exploration, research, and looting. Rituals take multiple turns to cast but can reshape the battlefield permanently.

SchoolsFire, Void, Life, Chaos, Order, Nature
RitualsMulti-turn casts — summon armies, alter terrain, curse planes
Rune MagicEnchant units, cities, and artifacts with lasting effects
Forbidden SpellsPlane-altering power with catastrophic side effects

Naval & Siege Warfare

Command warships across planar seas and deploy siege engines to crack fortress walls. War is fought on land, sea, and in the skies.

Coastal cities require naval dominance to hold. Siege warfare has its own unit tree — battering rams, trebuchets, and siege mages — and walls provide tiered defensive bonuses.

Naval UnitsGalleys, Dreadnoughts, Sea-serpent mounts
Siege EnginesRams, trebuchets, siege towers, cannon
Aerial CombatFlying units bypass walls entirely
Planar SeasOceans connect planes — control them, control trade

Dragon Lords & Orgs

Forge alliances with legendary Dragon Lords and infiltrate secret organisations that span all five planes. Politics shapes the battlefield.

Dragon Lords are unique hero units with faction loyalty and personal agendas. Secret organisations offer powerful boons in exchange for quests — or can be toppled for their resources.

Dragon Lords12 legendary heroes, each with a personal questline
Secret OrgsThe Iron Conclave, The Void Choir, The Verdant Circle
DiplomacyAlliances, trade pacts, espionage, assassination
BetrayalDragon Lords can defect — keep them loyal or suffer the consequences
