Mahjong Magic Journey 2

This Mahjong variant gives you a minor selection of golden tiles mixed in with the normal tiles. Your primary goal is to quickly match-away all of the golden tiles. You get a greater score for how fast you go and how many normal tiles remain after matching away all of the golden tiles. The game play and graphics are fine.. It's like every other 2D Mahjong game you have played. The problem with the game is the gated levels. I am in the Amateur level. It gives me a selection of 20 Mahjong puzzles to play. Once I earn enough points I can unlock the next level. I estimate that if all of the levels are unlocked I will have access to 100 additional Mahjong puzzles to play. I have played through all of the 20 amateur puzzles available to me. I am replaying them over and over again but I don't see that I am earning any more points. The grind wall is formidable. If you are a fiercely competitive Mahjong player and welcome the challenge of trying to penetrate that next level so you can get access to more puzzles with a sweaty palm and strained eyes, this is your Mahjong game. For me, I just wanted to play some Mahjong while my 3D software is rendering animations.. Maybe I am hal…

This is without a doubt the most frustrating game i have ever played. I have perservered through 20 hours and i have finally given up only half way through. Why you may ask -- see if you can follow this. 1. There are six stages with 20 levels a piece and starts out relaxing mah jong game. Off the bat you will not be able to complete the first level with all achievments as two of the achievements are score related. 2. In order to get a good score you must finish the level as quickly as possible, both time wise and turn wise, as the quicker you match tiles the higher the score multiplier becomes and the less turns the more tiles left at the end for the score. 3. This is where it becomes frustrating as to keep as many tiles in play as possible until completion you will need to reshuffle. You start with a single reshuffle and earn more for matching tiles. The catch is that when the game reshuffles it ensures it is virtually impossible to finish without having to dig out almost all the tiles and therefore destorying the score, keeping in mind that to get a reshuffle you also have to match tiles (even ones you don't need) thus also reducing your final score. 4. In order to pro…

Magical-themed mahjong game. Could require some skill.

good

Cant recommend it, its just too hard, its near impossible to get 3 stars on each level! Why is there not a skill setting easy, medium and hard!!!! to give you more time and less of a target for points, its just stupid! Save your money, avoid!

[b]2024 edit:[/b] review text unchanged but played another one of these reskins a few years later and can't recommend them anymore. this is an umbrella review for [b]mahjong world contest[/b] and the [b]mahjong magic journey[/b] series, as they are identical. your goal is not to remove every tile from the board, only the golden ones in as few moves as possible. points are awarded for remaining tiles and can be multiplied if you're quick enough, but there's no time limit on the levels. you get a star for completing each level and two more if you manage to do the other objectives, which are mostly a move limit and a score to reach (good luck with that). getting enough stars is necessary to unlock all 6 level packs with 20 levels each, then unlock and complete levels one by one. the graphics are nice, the music is great, and it's overall recommended, but there are a few things to keep in mind. first of all, the multiplier timer keeps going down even if you alt+tab or bring up the pause menu, which can be a huge problem if you're going for 3 stars on every level, but to unlock everything, you can get away with a bunch of 2 stars. another thing is the reshuffle button, which pretty …
