RPG
Ember Hollow Saga
★★★★★ 4.6
Ember Hollow Saga is the kind of mobile RPG that doesn't treat you like you have a five-second attention span. You build a party of four, mix classes, and plan fights around elemental weaknesses and turn order. The battles are turn-based and deliberate, and the harder encounters punish you for mashing attack without thinking.
- Thoughtful turn-based combat
- Hand-drawn world worth exploring
- Progression that avoids heavy grinding

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We mostly cover games we're genuinely curious about, with a lean toward racing and arcade titles since that's what we play most. Reader suggestions push games up the list too. We don't review something just because it's trending.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. We don't accept payment to publish a review or to raise a score. If we ever receive a free copy or early access, it changes nothing about the rating, and we'd rather tell you a game is mediocre than pretend otherwise.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Absolutely, that's one of our favorite emails to get. Send us the game and a line about why you like it, and we'll add it to the shortlist. We can't promise a review of everything, but we read every message.
Is there advertising on the site?
We keep things light and clearly labeled if we ever run anything. Reviews are written independently of any ads, so an advertiser can't influence a score. A good example is our Coin Games review, which went up purely because we liked the game, not because anyone asked us to.
