This is an excellent Mahjong game to kill time, relax, destress, or simply have fun. It helps with concentration and reasoning, and I highly recommend it for anyone who has kids at home and isn’t sure what to let them play.

Level 59 from the game Legendary Mahjong. A screen where you choose the tile positions. A stage with 120 tiles on the screen. Stage selection screen from Legendary Mahjong. A random stage from Legendary Mahjong with numbered tiles. Level 5 from the game Legendary Mahjong.

Final Thoughts – Analyzing the game as a whole

Graphics and UI

The art gets a solid 10/10! You can customize the tile designs, as well as the background of the match and some details related to the tile aesthetics.
Everything matches the overall gameplay quality: nice backgrounds, pop-ups, and buttons that keep the game’s visual identity consistent. Everything is very straightforward and easy to understand.

Soundtrack and Sound Effects

They fit a puzzle game perfectly, not too calm and not too energetic. It gives you the ideal relaxing vibe.

Gameplay

I had been looking for a Mahjong game for a while, one that could offer real quality in graphics, sound, and gameplay.
This one came to me in a bundle, and I don’t think I could’ve played a better one!

There are seven different Mahjong styles to please every type of player, from the slowest brains to the most hardcore ones.
Out of these seven, six are divided into temples, and with each level, the number of tiles increases.

Among the available modes are:
– Pair
– Trio
– Number Sum (a number appears on the HUD and you must match two tiles that add up to it)
– Lines (select tiles so they connect using up to 3 lines—these lines can’t cross any tiles)
– Sliding (drag the tile to its pair)
– Combination (you can only remove the pairs indicated on the HUD)

There’s also the classic mode, for those who want a casual match without worrying about progressing through levels, with all the tiles of the traditional game.

Again, this was the best Mahjong game I’ve played so far! Anyone who gives it a chance definitely won’t regret it.

Replayability and Game Retention

The replayability is extremely high, because besides having progress for six types of Mahjong, you can still improve your score on every level.
