Why us

We actually play

Every review is based on real sessions, not trailers. If we didn't finish a stage, we say so.

No paid placements

Ratings are ours. Nobody buys a spot in our catalogue or a higher score.

Phone-first testing

We check touch controls, battery drain and how a game reads on a small screen before praising it.

Editor’s pick

Ember Hollow Tactics
RPG/ролевая

Ember Hollow Tactics

★★★★☆ 4.4

Ember Hollow Tactics is the game I keep opening when I have twenty quiet minutes. You lead a party of four across a grid, and positioning matters far more than raw stats. Flank an enemy, use the terrain, and even a weak character earns their spot.

  • Grid tactics that reward smart positioning
  • Party banter that's actually worth reading
  • Fair progression without heavy grinding

Questions & answers

How do you choose which games to review?

One of us plays a game long enough to reach its real difficulty and see if it holds up. If it feels fresh and works well on a phone, we write it up. We skip clones and anything we can't stand to keep playing.

Do developers pay you for reviews?

No. We don't take payment for coverage or for higher scores, and there are no paid spots in our catalogue. Every rating comes from our own play sessions and internal arguments.

Can I suggest a game for you to cover?

Yes, please do. Email us the title and a line about why you like it, and it goes into our test list. We can't promise to review everything, but reader picks like Big Rush Cast have absolutely made it onto the site.

Is there advertising on the site?

We keep the site light and don't run intrusive ads. If we ever add anything, it will be clearly separated from reviews so you always know what's editorial. Our scores stay independent regardless.
