Mobile games you can play anywhere
We test offline RPGs, puzzles and simulators so you don't have to waste storage on duds. Everything here runs without an internet connection, which means planes, subways and dead zones are fair game. Our latest write-up covers Coin Strike, a small arcade title we kept coming back to.

Why us
We actually play
Every review comes from hours of hands-on time on a real device, not a spec sheet or a trailer.
Offline first
If a game needs a constant connection to function, it doesn't make our list. Simple as that.
No paid placement
Developers can't buy a score or a spot in the catalogue. Our ranking is just our opinion.

Editor’s pick
RPG
Emberwatch Saga
★★★★★ 4.7
Emberwatch Saga is a proper offline RPG, the sort you can sink forty hours into without ever seeing a loading screen that asks you to reconnect. You guide a small party through a crumbling kingdom, fight in a clean turn-based system, and slowly unlock skills that actually change how you approach battles.
- Deep turn-based combat with real strategy
- Well-written quests and party banter
- Runs entirely offline, saves stored locally

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to cover?
We pick games that run fully offline and that we're actually curious about, usually based on reader questions and our own download lists. There's no quota and no publisher deciding for us. If it needs a constant connection to play, it won't make the catalogue.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. We don't accept payment for coverage or for a particular score. If a developer sends a game, we'll play it, but that never guarantees a review or a positive one.
Can I suggest a game for you to review?
Please do. Send the name and a line about why you like it through the contact page, and it goes on our list to try. We can't promise to cover everything, but we read every suggestion.
Is there advertising on the site?
We keep the site light and don't run intrusive ad networks. Any recommendation we make, like our write-up of Coin Strike, reflects our own opinion after playing, not a paid placement.
