Editor’s pick

Emberfall Saga
RPG

Emberfall Saga

★★★★★ 4.6

Emberfall Saga hooked me faster than most mobile RPGs, mostly because it respects your time. The turn-based battles are quick, and there is an auto option for the grindy bits so you can focus on the story and the party building instead of tapping through fights you have already won a hundred times.

  • Flexible class and gear system
  • Story that actually keeps you reading
  • Optional auto-battle for the repetitive parts

Questions & answers

How do you choose which games to review?

We mix what is popular with what genuinely interests us. Sometimes that is a big release everyone is downloading, sometimes a smaller game we think deserves attention. The only rule is that it has to be something we can actually play through on a phone.

Do developers pay you for reviews?

No. Nobody pays us to cover a game or to give it a higher score. Our opinions come from playing, and if a game annoyed us we say so. For example, our Big Bass Bonanza write-up reflects exactly what the editor thought after weeks with it on his phone.

Can I suggest a game for you to cover?

Please do. Send us the name through the contact email and a line about why you like it. We read every suggestion, though we cannot promise to review everything since we play each game properly before writing.

Is there advertising on the site?

We keep the site clean and do not run intrusive ads or paid placements in our rankings. If that ever changes we will label anything sponsored clearly. For now, the reviews are just us sharing what we played.
