Ember Vanguard
★★★★★ 4.6
Ember Vanguard is one of those RPGs that respects your attention. Combat is turn-based on a small grid, and where you stand changes everything, so it feels closer to a tactics game than a stat race. I spent whole fights just rotating my frontline to cover a wounded mage.
- Positioning-driven combat
- Characters worth caring about
- Gear that changes your playstyle

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
Someone on the team has to genuinely play a game before it gets a slot in the catalogue. We look for strategy, tower defence, and nearby genres that teach us something or surprise us. Trending alone isn't enough to get covered.
Do you get paid for reviews or scores?
No. Nobody can buy a rating or a kinder write-up from us. Our scores reflect what we actually thought after playing, and that's the whole point of the site.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Absolutely, we read every suggestion that comes in. Drop us a note through the contact page with a link and a line about why you think it's worth our time. We can't promise coverage, but a good pitch genuinely helps.
Is there advertising on the site?
We keep the site light and focused on the writing, and we don't run intrusive ad formats. If anything like that ever changes, we'll label it clearly. For example, our Coin Strike breakdown was written purely from our own play time, with no outside involvement.
