RPG
Emberfall Oaths
★★★★★ 4.6
Emberfall Oaths is the kind of RPG that respects a phone screen. Battles are turn-based and readable, with big clear icons for each ability and a timeline that shows who acts next. You spend most of your time building a party of misfits, each with their own reason for joining, and the writing gives them enough voice that you actually care who survives a rough fight.
- Readable turn-based combat
- Cheap respecs encourage experimenting
- Characters you actually care about

Questions & answers
How do you decide which games to review?
Mostly curiosity. Someone on the team finds a game, installs it, and if it seems worth talking about we play it properly and write it up. We deliberately spread across genres so the catalog isn't all one type of game.
Do you get paid to write reviews?
No. We don't accept payment for coverage or for a higher rating, and no studio gets to approve a review before it goes live. Casinacho Games, for example, was covered the same way as everything else — we installed it, played it for a week, and wrote what we thought.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Please do. Send us a note through the contact page with a link and a line about why you think it's interesting. We can't promise to cover everything, but we read every suggestion.
Is there advertising on the site?
We may run light, non-intrusive ads to help cover hosting costs, and those are always kept separate from our editorial content. Advertisers never influence which games we cover or what scores they get.
