Editor’s pick

Ashvale Chronicle
RPG

Ashvale Chronicle

★★★★★ 4.7

Ashvale Chronicle is the kind of mobile RPG I keep hoping for and rarely get. The combat is classic turn-based, but what pulls you forward is the writing — your party is a group of reluctant guards trying to keep one forgotten town alive, and the quiet moments between fights are where it shines. Characters remember things you said three chapters ago.

  • Writing that actually remembers your choices
  • Flexible skill builds, no forced meta
  • Saves mid-battle for commute play

Questions & answers

How do you choose which games to review?

We pick games we're actually curious about across a mix of genres, so the catalog doesn't turn into six puzzle games in a row. Reader suggestions push a lot of our choices, and we lean toward things that offer a real story or progression worth talking about.

Do you get paid to write positive reviews?

No. We download or buy everything ourselves and nobody pays for a better score. If a game disappointed us, the review will say so plainly — that independence is the whole point of the site.

Can I suggest a game for you to cover?

Absolutely, and we read every suggestion that comes in. Email us the name and a line about why you think it's worth our time. We can't promise to cover everything, but good tips genuinely shape what we play next.

Is there advertising on the site?

We keep things minimal and clearly separate any ads from our actual writing. A review's opinion is never influenced by whether an ad happens to appear nearby. For example, our Volcane Spins review was written exactly the way you read it, with no outside input.
