Why us
Offline first
Every review says plainly whether the game works on a plane or a train without signal.
Ads and purchases, measured
We count how often ads interrupt play and what the paid version actually removes.
We finish what we start
A review only goes up after at least a week with the game, not after ten minutes of the tutorial.
Battery and size
How much space it takes and how quickly it drains a phone — both are in the review.

Strategy
Build a small outpost and defend it. Thoughtful, slow, and fair with your time.
★★★★☆ 4.1
RPG
A pocket role-playing game with a real story and turn-based fights you can pause.

Simulation
Run a small bakery through one night. Short shifts, warm art, no energy bar.

Strategy
Iron Frontier
★★★★☆ 4.1
Iron Frontier is a base-building strategy that does not run on timers. You lay out an outpost, plan defences and watch waves test them — then rebuild smarter. Nothing waits behind a clock.
- No build timers
- Cosmetic purchases only
- Offline campaign
- One hand in portrait

Questions & answers
Can I republish your reviews?
A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.
How do you choose what to review?
Readers suggest most of them by email. The rest come from what we see people playing around us.
Why are there no scores out of ten?
A number without an explanation tells you nothing. We give a short verdict instead, and say who the game is for.
Do you review paid games?
Yes, and we prefer them. A game you pay for once usually treats your attention better than a free one.
