The Mahjong Huntress Reviews

This game makes me want to crawl up the ceiling and it never happened before in similar games. The story is transparent, basically like the 80% of those kind of games,nothing new.(Why everyone is copy-pasting those storylines? I mean cmon theres so much options, why? ) Very frustrating bugs, like the one when you use your "shuffle" power and then the tiles shuffle, but have no image on them and you cant do anything than restart the game and you wont get back your energy. Makes you use too much powers, i think its ridiculous you cant finish it without using any power at least once and there are those objectives "finish the game without using any powers" , its not freaking possible! You will run out of moves every couple moves. Also there where couple rules she mentioned outside of tutorial and not about the powers and if you forget what she said, theres no way you can read it second time. Why its not inside the tutorial aswell? Those ridiculous energy crystals you will be forced to use, once you run out of them, theres pretty much no way you can finish the game and you will end up playing the level over and over and over and over ... and over ... and over ... again ..till you will be just done with the game. The gameplay goes like this : No moves left, no moves left, no moves left, no moves left, no moves left, no moves left, no energy crystals left, play over, play over, play over, play over, play over, play over ... until you will want to avada kedavra it to the moon. The only nice things about this game are the art, music and steam achievments and cards. Probably the first game i will return...

- Stupendous algorithm for tile placement; very frustrating - The story is lame and has no depth; just random stuff added it makes no sense (not the main reason to play the game ofcourse but still they could have put in some effort) - Game forces the use of extra powers on several levels - It is impossible to get full star rating on several levels because of the bad tile placement and the requirement for the bonus objective (unless using one or more crystals) - The game has multiple bugs (language errors, huge white blocks in story, shifted bars on boss levels, shuffling makes the tiles go blanc, pendant block not useable, etc.) - No feedback or quickfix from developers after large amount of people have pointed out flaws in the game +/- It's an ok game to waste a few hours on when you're too lazy to play something else and like Mahjong Just stay away from this game, it isn't worth the time or money.

i tried, cant like this one. the tile placement is almost exclusively impossible, forcing you to use these powerups wich are in a silly system and in turn making you fail. idk if this will be functional on a touchscreen, but then this might be a bit more fun. if only it had a difficulty setting to combat the poor tile organisation...

Full disclosure: I got this game on sale for .49 cents USD. And honestly? Despite all the glitz, storyline and music, it's honestly boring. I felt hustled through each level, which is the opposite of what a good game of Mahjong should be. I should be admiring the tiles, sipping my coffee and relaxing. Instead, every stage was some new power-up or locket doodads I wanted nothing to do with. Again, rushing you through, but piling more stuff on your plate with each level. Then breaking up the action to fill you in on whatever is going on in the visual novel half of the game. The end result just jangled my nerves and reminded me of those games where you set a timer and the pieces pop off the board if you aren't fast enough. If you want a casual game that's trying super hard to be an action game, give it a try. But casual game fans won't find a relaxing experience.

-- Review for Linux version of this game -- Nice casual game with story mode and many additional levels. Sound, story and visuals somehow resembled HOG setup, and basically you solve mahjong puzzles instead of HOG puzzles to progress in the story. Each level have 3 requirements and you will be awarded stars for completion of each requirement separately (so if you completed 1st and 3d on your first play you can replay it again and aim for 2d only which makes it a bit easier if you play one level for couple of times). Some levels are poorly balanced and will require usage of powerups (make sure to save crystals you get from bonus levels and from replays and use it only in such cases when you can't progress). Technically wise I haven't encountered any major issues while running it on Debian 9 with Nvidia drivers. Game works well. However there's a discussion on game forums where people stated they had issues with this game. Make sure to check game forums before purchase so you'll get better idea if this game is for you. Recommended as good casual timewaster! ;)

It's a fun game with a surprising increase in difficult the further you dive into the story. There are multiple timers that contribute to level challenge bonuses as well as in-game bonuses & power ups. Some mahjong games set up the tiles randomly, but this one obviously follows a type of algorythm where the game wont screw you on the first few steps, offering you a short grace period before you run into issues. (There's one puzzle I couldn't get more than 15% complete before having to use every power up I could, eventually resorting to using most of my crystals to completely refill the powerup bar.) As you progress through the storyline you'll find yourself needing to use these power ups more and more as the puzzles get more difficult. One of the power ups will reshuffle the board. There's a neat feature that allows you to remove a tile from the board and hold onto it to match later, but you have to match it before being able to pick up another one. There are hundreds of challenge puzzles available that don't affect the story portion of the game. Another portion of the game involves "boss fights" that play very similarly to games like Bejeweled or Pokemon Shuffle. The instructions for these games aren't explained very well, so it took a while for me to catch on. There are health orbs for yourself and the enemy. The bar next to the health bar shows which color orbs will give you "crystal energy" to attack. For the entirety of the first boss fight, I had to avoid matching purple orbs or I would get attacked. Each time I was able to attack, my color changed. The achievements are buggy right now but the game just came out so it should get fixed soon.

The Mahjong Huntress is a very good classic game with a nice ambiant and some great designs. I recommend it!!! 💗💗💗

My first Mahjong game. Really enjoyed going through the levels and the little intriguing story. However, do not consider this game as relaxing. Some puzzles as well as earning all achievements can be quite challenging. But I had some fun nonetheless. Took me ~13h to finish it 100%. I recommend it.

For the mostpart, The Mahjong Huntress is a decent mahjong game with a pleasing art style and engaging story. But I just can't recommend a game with simply far too many bugs that have gone seemingly ignored and unsquashed by the dev. One of which crashed the game and caused every single achievement to unlock.

Nice mahjong game, good graphics, lots of levels. WHy I don't recommand for now ? Dev are not fixing bugs... and there are a lots of them :(
