Ashen Hollow
★★★★★ 4.6
Ashen Hollow packs a surprising amount of RPG into a phone screen. You wake up in a ruined village and slowly bring it back to life by taking quests, befriending odd travelers, and clearing dungeons on the outskirts. Combat is turn-based but quick, so a fight rarely drags past a couple of minutes — perfect for the bus.
- Choices that carry real consequences
- Snappy turn-based combat
- Memorable, well-written villagers

Questions & answers
How do you decide which games to review?
We watch indie forums, browse new releases, follow small studios, and take reader suggestions. We lean toward smaller titles that don't already have loads of coverage. If something catches one of our eyes, someone installs it and starts playing.
Do you get paid to write reviews?
No. Nobody pays us for a score or a placement, and we don't accept money to change our opinions. We occasionally get free copies of paid games so we can play them, but that never buys a better rating — Lucky Coin, for example, we reviewed exactly the way we felt after playing it.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Absolutely, and we genuinely read every suggestion. Send us the name and a store link through our contact email. We can't promise to cover everything, but reader tips have led to some of our favorite finds.
Is there advertising on the site?
We may run some basic, non-intrusive ads to help cover hosting costs. Those ads never influence which games we cover or how we score them. Editorial and advertising stay completely separate here.
