Mahjong Demon App Reviews

The game (v5.7) seems playable, but it’s really irritating that I can’t open Preferences (I’m running Mavericks).

Heads up, this is not the single player tile matching game! It took a long time of filtering through Mahjong Solitaire apps, but this is indeed what the screenshots make it out to be. The game does play very quickly, and there is no online multiplayer option. I will agree with the previous review that this game is not for beginners or simple fans of Mahjong Solitaire (the tile matching game), but for those like me who are just dying to play some traditional Mahjong this app provides.

There is no full screen mode… that’s the only thing I didn’t like. But with changing the screen resolution temporarily to play, this can be overcome easily. Other than that it’s a very good app.

Updated opinion on the new version: I have become much better at finding wins, and I think I’m now a pretty good player. That being said, I have never seen a game more “unrandom”! This game decides beforehand who will win or lose. It doesn’t matter how or what you play. I would like to see more randomness introduced into the tile draw for each side, not just mine! If it wasn’t for the fact that this is the only Mahjong 4-person game I could find, I would trash this game and use another. On a side note, there is no support available in English. The support link takes me to a Japanese language website.

A good game, the AI is good. Would be better if I can choose Japanese voice and UI to play with. Also fullscreen will be awesome.
