RPG
Ember Covenant
★★★★★ 4.6
Ember Covenant surprised me by how much reading it expects of you, in a good way. This is a proper turn-based RPG with party management, a branching dialogue system, and choices that stick. Your mages each carry a grudge, and the writing leans into that instead of giving everyone the same cheerful voice.
- Writing that treats you like an adult
- Elemental combat with real strategy
- City-building that ties the story together

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to cover?
We watch new-release lists, read community threads, and take reader suggestions, then prioritize games that feel genuinely new in how they play. We deliberately cover every genre instead of specializing. If something looks fresh, it goes into the queue regardless of how big the studio is.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. Nobody can buy a review, a score, or placement on the site. If a studio sends us a game, we'll still say exactly what we think, and we'll tell you when a copy was provided.
Can I suggest a game for you to review?
Absolutely, and we read every suggestion. Just email us a link and a sentence about why it caught your eye. Some of our favorite pieces, like our look at Volcane Spins, came straight from reader tips.
Is there advertising on the site?
We may run simple banner ads to help cover hosting, but they never influence our coverage or scores. Ad space and editorial are kept completely separate. If that ever changes, we'll say so plainly.
