Phone games you can play offline
We hunt down RPGs, puzzles and simulators that run without a connection, then play them properly before writing a word. Right now the desk is buzzing about Big Bass Drop, which we finished testing last week on the train with zero bars.

Why us
We actually play
Every review comes from real hours on a real phone, not a press kit. If we didn't finish it, we tell you where we stopped.
Tested offline
We check each game on airplane mode so you know it truly works without a connection.
No paid praise
Ratings reflect our honest experience. Developers can't buy a higher score, and we don't hide the flaws.

RPG
Emberwake Saga
★★★★★ 4.7
Emberwake Saga is the kind of RPG you sink into for an evening and forget the time. You lead a small band of characters across a fading kingdom, and the writing is far better than most mobile games bother with. Choices matter in small ways that add up.
- Deep offline story campaign
- Thoughtful turn-based combat
- Memorable hand-drawn characters

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We pick a mix of genres so the catalog never feels one-note, and we prioritise games that genuinely run offline. Something usually makes the list because a team member enjoyed it enough to keep playing, or because a lot of readers asked about it.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. We don't accept payment for coverage or for a better rating, and nobody can buy their way onto the site. Our scores come from real hours of play and nothing else.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Absolutely, that's how a lot of our reviews start. Email us the name and why you like it, and if it fits the offline focus we'll add it to our testing queue. We read every suggestion even if we can't get to them all.
Is there advertising on the site?
We may run light, non-intrusive ads to keep the lights on, but they never influence what we write or how we score. For example, our Big Bass Drop review was tested and written before any of that ever came up, and the same holds for everything else.
