Casual
A colorful offline spinner where you line up symbols to tell a growing fantasy story.
★★★★☆ 4.3
No signal, no problem
We play mobile games that run fully offline and write about the ones that stuck with us. RPGs, puzzles, simulators — all tested on the train, on planes, and in that one cafe with the terrible Wi-Fi. Most recently the team spent a week with Legends of Slots and came back with plenty to say.

RPG
Ember of the Hollow
★★★★★ 4.7
Ember of the Hollow is the kind of RPG I used to love on handhelds. You build a small party, explore a hand-drawn map, and fight through turn-based battles that reward planning over button mashing. It downloads once and never asks for a connection again.
- Deep turn-based combat
- Strong writing and choices
- Long campaign, fully offline

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to cover?
We pick games that run offline and that someone on the team genuinely wants to play. We aim for a spread of genres so the catalog isn't all one type. If a game constantly demands a connection, it usually doesn't make the cut.
Do you get paid to write reviews?
No. Nobody pays us for a review or for a spot on a list. Our opinions are our own, and we'll happily point out flaws in games we otherwise like.
Can I suggest a game for you to review?
Please do. Email us the name and why you think it fits, especially if it's a solid offline title. For example, Legends of Slots came onto our radar through a reader tip, and we ended up spending a full week with it.
Is there advertising on the site?
We may show basic, non-intrusive ads to help cover hosting costs. They never affect our reviews or ratings, and we keep editorial and advertising completely separate.
