Mahjong Realms

Chill music, diverse tiles, and tons of layouts make Mahjong Realms a delightfully relaxing twist on mahjong solitaire.

I have been playing mahjong games of this type for over a decade now, and I have never had to shuffle so much! I am at the third level and from the very first lvl shuffling is needed. In every new game shuffles are needed!! Why does lvl 1, the very start of the game, ends up needing shuffling to the point of running out? I have never seen such bad tile placements even to the most sketchy android games. I am sorry, but this is not a skill issue at this point. It's a game issue.

A typical representative of a mahjong game, with classy looks. There is a campaign of three distinct themes (classic tiles, space/sci-fi, dark sun mode) consisting of 10 puzzles each, an editor where you can create your own puzzles, and Steam workshop from where you can obtain more puzzles created by the community (or deploy your own even). Graphics are pleasing to the eye, music is melodious and relaxing, and the gameplay is smooth; there are also accessibility features which you can use if you get stuck, or turn them off (for achievement). Base game is for free (with a DLC paid content that brings additional themed campaign), and there is a steady influx of player-created puzzles that you can subscribe if you’re hungry for more.

Nice variety, the 100 puzzles achievement kinda sucks after the first 50 though. Didn't like the like the other two themes, poorly designed and hard on the eyes to be honest. Nice timewaster though, and I like that a tile is guaranteed to not be on top of its partner.

Mahjong Realms is a casual, relaxing game ideal for lying down. It’s fun, but the shuffling mechanic can be frustrating. You can shuffle up to three times, yet when the board shuffles, the tile placement feels off. Winning seems impossible unless you keep retrying and hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately, it became irritating near the end. I will label this game as negative, hoping the developers will fix it. Otherwise, it’s nice.

This is a really nice game! The boards are challenging but doable. It is not time limited so you can play very leisurely. The editor allows creation and publishing of new board layouts, and the community has also posted quite a number of really cool ones. It's free to play and it is pretty awesome. I give it 5 out of 5.

nice game, better than the ad filled windows version bad reviews are definetely a skill issue
