Indie Games Worth Your Pocket
We dig through app stores so you don't have to, pulling out the small-studio games that actually surprise us. Recently we spent a week with Legends of Slots and a stack of other titles across every genre. Expect plain talk, not hype.

Why us
We actually play
Every review comes from real sessions on real phones, not a press kit skim. We finish the campaign or admit we quit, and we tell you why.
No paid placements
Developers can't buy a spot or a score. The order of our catalogue reflects what we enjoyed, nothing else.
Every genre welcome
From slow strategy to twitchy arcade runs, we cover whatever looks interesting. We're not loyal to one corner of the store.

RPG
Emberfall Chronicle
★★★★★ 4.6
Emberfall Chronicle packs a surprising amount of RPG into a phone. Combat is turn-based with a timing element — nail the tap window and your attacks hit harder, which keeps you watching the screen instead of autobattling. The party of five all have their own storylines, and the game is smart about weaving them into the main quest.
- Branching choices with real consequences
- Timing-based combat that stays engaging
- Five distinct, well-written party members

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to cover?
We look for games from small studios, ideally with an idea we haven't seen worn out already. Genre doesn't matter — we'll cover a racer as happily as a puzzle game. If a title holds our attention past the first hour, it usually earns a write-up.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No, and they can't. We don't run sponsored reviews or sell placement in our catalogue, and no amount of money moves a score. When we like something we say so, and when we don't we say that just as plainly.
Can I suggest a game for you to review?
Absolutely, that's one of our favourite kinds of email. Send the game's name and a line about why you think it's interesting to our contact address. We can't promise to cover everything, but we read every suggestion.
Is there advertising on the site?
We may run some basic, clearly-marked ads to help cover hosting, but they never influence what we write or how we score. A review like our Legends of Slots piece is the same whether an ad sits next to it or not. Editorial and advertising stay completely separate.
