Mobile games, played and explained

We play through the games ourselves before we write a single word, then break down the parts that actually matter. This week the team spent a lot of time with Casinacho, and there's plenty more waiting in the catalogue below.

Why us

We actually play

Every guide comes from hours of real play, not press kits. If we got stuck, we tell you where and how we got past it.

No paid praise

Studios don't get to buy a score here. Our ratings reflect what the team felt after living with a game.

Genres for everyone

Racing, RPG, strategy, puzzles and more. We spread our coverage so there's always something for your taste.

Editor’s pick

Ashfall Legion
RPG

Ashfall Legion

★★★★★ 4.6

Ashfall Legion caught me off guard. I went in expecting a throwaway mobile RPG and got a genuinely sharp turn-based combat system with a party you actually care about. Each character has a distinct role, and swapping your lineup before a tough fight matters more than raw levels do.

  • Tactical turn-based combat
  • A story with genuine weight
  • Meaningful party customisation

Questions & answers

How do you choose which games to cover?

We look for games with an interesting hook and enough depth to write something useful about, then we make sure we're covering a spread of genres. Someone on the team plays each candidate for real before we commit to a guide. If it doesn't hold our attention, it usually doesn't make the site.

Do studios pay you for reviews?

No. We don't accept payment in exchange for coverage or a particular score. Our ratings come from how the team actually felt after playing, and we'll happily say when a game let us down.

Can I suggest a game for you to review?

Absolutely, we love getting suggestions. Drop us an email with the game's name and why you think it's worth a look. We can't promise to cover everything, but we read every message and keep a running list.

Is there advertising on the site?

We keep things light and independent, so you won't find intrusive ads breaking up the guides. If that ever changes we'll be upfront about it. For example, our recent Casinacho guide was written the same way as everything else here: played first, written after, with no strings attached.
