Mobile Indie Games, Picked By Hand
We play through the weird, the clever and the quietly brilliant corners of the mobile store so you don't have to wade through junk. Every game here got real screen time from our team before a word was written. Recently we spent a week with Coin Games and came away genuinely surprised.

Why us
We finish the games
Nothing gets reviewed off a trailer or a press blurb. We play until we have something real to say.
No paid placements
Our catalogue order and scores aren't for sale. Developers can't buy their way up the list.
Every genre welcome
From heavy strategy to silly arcade runs, we judge each game by what it's trying to do.

RPG
Emberfall Saga
★★★★★ 4.6
Emberfall Saga crams a proper role-playing campaign into a phone screen without feeling squashed. You lead a party of four through a crumbling kingdom, swapping gear, learning skills and making dialogue choices that actually shift who joins you later. The turn-based combat uses a timeline system where speed matters as much as raw damage.
- Timeline combat that rewards planning
- Branching story with real party choices
- Gorgeous hand-drawn art throughout

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We install far more than we publish and give each one real play time before deciding. A game only makes the catalogue if someone on the team actually wanted to keep playing it. Genre doesn't matter — intent and fun do.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. We don't take money for coverage, scores or catalogue order, and nothing here is a paid placement. If that ever changed we'd label it clearly, but it hasn't and we'd rather it never did.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Absolutely, and some of our favourites came from reader tips — Coin Games is one we picked up exactly that way. Just email us with the name and a line on why you like it. We read everything even if we can't review it all.
Is there advertising on the site?
We may run light, non-intrusive ads to help cover hosting, but they never influence what we write or how we score. Editorial and anything commercial stay strictly separate. You'll never see an ad dressed up as a review.
