Editor’s pick
RPG
Ashvale Wanderers
★★★★★ 4.6
Ashvale Wanderers is the kind of RPG I didn't expect to find on a phone — a small party crossing a grey, ash-covered land, fighting in clean turn-based battles and slowly piecing together what went wrong with the world. The writing is restrained, which makes the quiet moments land harder.
- Thoughtful turn-based combat with clear telegraphs
- A quiet, well-written story
- Designed for short play sessions

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We mostly follow curiosity — small studios, odd ideas, things that aren't already covered everywhere. If one of us plays something and can't stop talking about it, that usually becomes a review. We cover every genre rather than sticking to one lane.
Do studios pay you for reviews or scores?
No. We never take money to review a game or to change a rating, and we'd rather lose a story than compromise that. Our opinions are the only thing we actually have to sell, and we're not selling them.
Can I suggest a game you should cover?
Please do — a lot of our best finds came from readers. Drop us an email with a link and a line about why it's worth a look. We can't promise to cover everything, but we read all of it.
Are your reviews based on real play?
Always. Every verdict comes from actually installing and playing the game for several sessions. For example, our Legends of Slots write-up came after a full week of playing it on a regular phone, not from a trailer.
