Editor’s pick

Emberfall Saga
RPG

Emberfall Saga

★★★★★ 4.7

Emberfall Saga is the kind of RPG that makes your commute vanish. You lead a small band of misfits across a collapsing kingdom, and the writing is sharp enough that I found myself reading every side conversation. The party members bicker, grow, and occasionally break your heart.

  • Genuinely good writing
  • Tactical grid combat
  • Flexible character builds

Questions & answers

How do you choose which games to review?

We pick games we're actually curious about, across every genre that runs on a phone. Sometimes it's a big release, sometimes something a reader tipped us off about. If it looks fun and fits on a phone, it's a candidate.

Do studios pay you for reviews?

No. We don't take money for coverage or for a better score. Any game we praise earned it by being good, and we've given low marks to things plenty of people expected us to gush over.

Can I suggest a game for you to cover?

Absolutely, and we love getting suggestions. Drop us an email with the name and why you think it's worth our time. We read every message even if we can't cover everything.

What kinds of games do you actually review?

All sorts, from RPGs and strategy to relaxed sims like Big Bass Fishin, which we recently spent a week with. The only thing we skip is anything built around gambling. We're here for games you play for fun.
