What it does
General purpose themes often need a lot of work before they look right for a gaming audience. A theme designed around gaming from the start saves you that effort, since the visual style already fits the subject. This theme is made for that niche, with an immersive design aimed at people who write about, review or talk about games.
The theme works with popular WordPress plugins, which lets you add the extra functions your site needs on top of the design. Customizable layouts let you shape pages to suit your content, whether that is regular blog posts, longer review articles or pages for a community of players. It fits fan sites, review blogs and gaming groups that want a site with a clear gaming identity.
Best for
- Gaming bloggers writing about new and classic games
