Finally a mobile RPG with no energy timers. I finished the whole campaign on my commute from Brunswick without spending a cent. The paper-cut art is genuinely gorgeous.

Our Studio
A tiny Fitzroy studio building worlds worth getting lost in
Arcane Valor Works is an eight-person independent game studio on Rose Street in Fitzroy, Melbourne. We released our first title, Shattered Realms, in 2022, and have shipped nine free content seasons since — each hand-illustrated in our signature layered paper-cut art style.
Every quest is written in-house, every soundtrack scored by local Melbourne composers, and every update tested by our 400-strong community playtest guild before it reaches the stores. No loot boxes, no energy timers, no ads mid-battle.

Player Reviews
Loved by adventurers across the realms
Real reviews pulled from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
The cross-save between my iPad and Pixel just works. Picked up a raid exactly where I left off. The seasonal realms keep me coming back every few weeks.

Guild Pass is worth it purely for the skins — and I love that it gives zero combat advantage. This studio clearly respects its players.

The Mireborn Wyrm fight had me on the edge of my seat. Boss design here is better than games ten times the budget. 40 hours and I want more.

My kids and I play the co-op raids together on separate phones. No ads, no creepy monetisation. Rare and refreshing for a free mobile game.

Being in the playtest guild is a highlight. The team actually reads feedback and ships changes within a season. Feels like a proper Melbourne community.
