RPG
Ironvale Chronicle
★★★★★ 4.6
Ironvale Chronicle is the kind of RPG you settle into over a week rather than a weekend. You build a small party, each member with a clear role, and the turn-based fights reward planning over button-mashing. We spent a happy evening just tweaking skill loadouts before a boss fight.
- Thoughtful turn-based combat
- Characters worth caring about
- Clear UI on small screens

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to cover?
We pick games we're genuinely curious about, usually something that does an interesting thing with its mechanics or respects the player's time. We don't work from marketing lists or release schedules. If nobody on the team wants to play it, it doesn't get covered.
Do you get paid to write reviews?
No. We pay for our own downloads and nobody buys a spot on the site. That independence is the whole reason we started, so we're careful to protect it. If that ever changed, we'd tell you plainly on the page.
Can I suggest a game for you to review?
Absolutely, and we read every suggestion. Email us the title and a line about why you think it's worth our time. We can't promise to cover everything, but good tips have led to some of our favourite pieces — Casinacho Games came to us as a reader suggestion, for example.
Is there advertising on the site?
We may run light, non-intrusive ads to help cover hosting, but they never influence what we write or how we score a game. Editorial and advertising stay completely separate. If a review ever reads like an ad, we've failed at our job.
