RPG
Emberfall Saga
★★★★★ 4.6
Emberfall Saga is the rare mobile RPG that respects your time without dumbing itself down. Combat is turn-based, so you can pause mid-battle to answer a message and pick right back up. The party members have their own arcs, and I found myself picking a healer just because I liked her writing.
- Well-written party characters
- Pause-friendly turn-based fights
- Scalable graphics for battery control

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We start with whatever grabs our attention, whether it's a friend's recommendation or something we stumbled on. Then it has to survive a real play test of several hours. If it holds up, it gets written about; if it doesn't, we usually move on.
Do you get paid to write positive reviews?
No. Nobody pays us for coverage or for a particular score, and we don't run sponsored reviews dressed up as opinions. What you read is genuinely what we thought after playing.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Absolutely, and we read every suggestion that comes in. Drop us an email with the game and why you think it's worth our time. We can't promise to cover everything, but good tips have led to some of our favorite pieces, like our look at Big Bass Drop.
Is there advertising on the site?
We keep things light. There may be basic display ads to help cover hosting costs, but advertising never influences our scores or which games we choose to write about. The reviews and the ads live in completely separate worlds.
