Why us

We actually play

No review goes live until someone on the team has put real hours into the game, not just the tutorial.

No paid placements

Developers can't buy a spot or a score here. What you read is what we thought.

Phone-first testing

We judge games on how they feel on a touchscreen, not how they'd run on a gaming PC.

Editor’s pick

Ironvale Siege
Strategy

Ironvale Siege

★★★★★ 4.6

Ironvale Siege asks you to defend a single valley over a long campaign, balancing resources, wall upgrades and troop placement. It's more thoughtful than frantic — you spend as much time in the planning screen as you do watching battles unfold.

  • Deep resource trade-offs
  • Meaningful upgrade choices
  • Long, well-paced campaign

Questions & answers

How do you choose which games to review?

We go by what people are playing and what we're genuinely curious about. Sometimes that's a big release, sometimes a small TD we stumbled on. No developer decides for us.

Do you get paid for reviews?

No. We don't take money to feature a game or to raise a score. If we ever receive free access to something, we'll mention it in the review itself.

Can I suggest a game?

Absolutely, and we read every suggestion. Email us the name and a line about why you like it — we played and wrote up Coin Strike partly because a reader kept nudging us about it.

Is there advertising on the site?

We may run a little basic advertising to cover hosting, but it never influences our opinions. Reviews and ads stay completely separate.
