RPG
Emberfall Saga
★★★★★ 4.6
Emberfall Saga is the kind of RPG I keep recommending to people who think mobile can't do proper role-playing. You lead a small band of wanderers across a fading kingdom, and the turn-based combat rewards thinking two moves ahead rather than mashing attack.
- Tight turn-based combat
- Characters that actually grow on you
- Fits neatly into short sessions

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We watch new releases, take reader suggestions, and revisit older games that got overlooked. The main rule is that at least one of us has to genuinely play it, not just skim a trailer. We stick to indie and small-studio titles across all genres.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. We don't take payment to publish a review or to raise a score, and we never will. Any coverage you see here reflects what we actually thought after playing.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Absolutely, that's one of our favorite emails to get. Drop us a note through the contacts page with a link and a line about why you like it. We can't promise to cover everything, but we read every suggestion.
Do you review games like Big Bass Blast, and how do you approach them?
Yes — Big Bass Blast is a good example of the arcade games we love writing up. We treat every game the same way: hands-on play, notes on controls and pacing, and an honest take on whether it's worth your time.
