The Mahjong Huntress 9+

I’ve played several different mahjong games that have a story with them. This story, so far, is ok. I like the idea of the mystery mahjong boards and earning extra crystals along the way. Using the crystals needs to be explained better. The tutorial is nice but it needs more information about the crystals, what they do, how they work and instructions for the use of the power ups.
So far I like this game. The tiles are easy to see as long as I use my pad. Fortunately, the designer of this game are not using the original tiles for mahjong. The phone is ok, but the tiles are small. You can zoom in and out, which is a great help, but sometimes I lose one of the lines of the board.
It costs to get the mystery mahjong boards, but I think it’s worth it.

I go through a lot of puzzle and HO games. This game is interesting and a nice change of pace. The game is easy to learn and yet deeply challenging. I like that if I am unhappy about the number of stars I have earned on one board I can endlessly replay it without consequences. I have finished chapter one and can’t wait to see where the story that holds the game together goes.

My only complaint is that the story happens in London. I think I would have preferred a Chinese storyline to go with a quintessentially Chinese tile game.

I’m very picky about games and end up deleting 95% of them. That being said, I really like this game and it’s a keeper. It has a nice storyline with a Clue-like style that has you trying to find the missing character after every puzzle you pass. The game has nice graphics and plenty of power ups that let you pass each puzzle. Be prepared to pay the 3.99 for the full game. That’s not much money for a good game but if your cheap and don’t want to pay, there’s plenty of free crappy mahjong games out there for your choosing.
