RPG
Ashfall Wardens
★★★★★ 4.6
Ashfall Wardens is a proper little RPG that doesn't pad itself out. You build a party of four and travel between mountain settlements that are slowly being buried by a strange grey ash. Combat is turn-based but quick, and each character has a small spread of skills you actually use rather than a bloated menu you ignore.
- Readable turn-based combat on small screens
- Restrained, genuinely moody writing
- Chapters you can finish in one sitting

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We play a lot, follow reader tips, and pick the small titles that feel interesting enough to finish. A game only gets a full review after someone on the team has spent real time with it. We aim for variety across genres rather than chasing whatever is trending.
Do you get paid to review games?
No. We don't take money or gifts in exchange for coverage or a higher rating. If we liked a game it's because we liked it, and if we didn't, we say so plainly.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Please do. Send us a link and a line about why you think it's worth our time through the contact email. We read every suggestion, though we can't promise to cover all of them.
Are the reviews just your opinion?
Yes, and we think that's the honest way to do it. Our ratings are subjective, based on how a game actually plays. For example, our take on Legends of Slots is that it's a fine casual time-filler, but someone looking for depth might feel differently, and that's fair.
