Ember Vale Chronicles is the kind of RPG I keep hoping to find on mobile. It has a proper storyline, a party you build over time, and turn-based battles that reward thinking a couple of moves ahead. The whole campaign lives on your device, so no server issues ever get in the way.

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We pick games we're genuinely curious about across different genres, then install and play them ourselves. Offline playability is a hard requirement, so anything that needs a constant connection usually doesn't make it here. We also try to keep a balance so it's not all one genre.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. Nobody pays us to cover a game or to score it higher. Our opinions and ratings are entirely our own, and we'll say when something disappointed us. That's the whole reason the site exists.
Can I suggest a game for you to review?
Absolutely, we love recommendations. Just email us with the game's name and, ideally, why you think it's worth a look. We can't promise to cover everything, but we read every message.
Is there advertising on the site?
We keep things minimal and never let advertising influence a review. For example, when we covered Big Bass 3in1 our score came purely from playing it, not from any outside arrangement. If that ever changes, we'll say so clearly.
