Editor’s pick
RPG
Emberfall Saga
★★★★★ 4.6
Emberfall Saga surprised us. Mobile RPGs often feel stretched thin to keep you tapping, but this one has a real story with characters who change over time. Combat is turn-based and readable, and the skill trees give you room to build your party the way you want without a spreadsheet.
- Characters that grow with the story
- Combat rewards planning over grinding
- Generous, quick save system

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We play a lot and cover the ones we find genuinely interesting across every genre. Sometimes it's a big release, sometimes it's a small game one of us stumbled on. If it runs on a phone and gives us something to say, it's a candidate.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. Our scores and opinions aren't for sale, and no one gets to preview or change a review before it goes up. If we ever received a game for free to test, we'd say so plainly in the article.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Please do. Send us the name and a line about why you think it's worth a look through our contact email. We can't promise to cover everything, but we read every suggestion and some of our best pieces started that way.
Are your reviews just first impressions?
We spend real time with each game before writing. For example, Big Rush Luck stayed on our phones for over a week before we published, because we wanted to reach the harder stages first. We'd rather be a little slow than shallow.
