Small Studios, Big Mobile Games
We dig through app stores so you don't have to, pulling out the indie titles that actually deserve a slot on your phone. Last week the team spent a few evenings with Casinacho Games, and you'll find plenty more hands-on write-ups across every genre here.

RPG
Emberhold Saga
★★★★★ 4.6
Emberhold Saga is a proper role-playing game that respects your time. Battles are turn-based and you can speed them up, but the real draw is the writing — companions argue, change their minds, and remember what you decided three towns ago. I replayed the second act just to see how a different party reacted.
- Companions that react to your choices
- Flexible, forgiving character builds
- Hand-designed dungeons worth exploring

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We pick from store charts, reader tips, developer newsletters and a lot of plain browsing. We lean toward independent studios and try to cover every genre, not just the popular ones. If several of us find a game interesting, it gets queued.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. We never take money to feature or rank a game higher. Occasionally a studio sends a free download code, and when that happens we say so clearly in the article. Our opinion isn't for sale.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Absolutely, that's one of our favourite sources. Just email us with a name and a link, and a sentence on why you think it's worth our time. We read everything, though we can't promise to cover every suggestion.
Is there advertising on the site?
We may run light, non-intrusive ads to help cover hosting costs, kept separate from editorial content. Ads never influence our scores or which games we write about. Casinacho Games, for example, was reviewed purely because the team enjoyed playing it, not for any payment.
