Mahjong Deluxe 3

Mahjong is a pretty popular game, especially since computers made it much easier to enjoy it without having to make a mess with all the pieces you have to spread around the house. Hence, there are hundreds of different variants to choose from, depending on the theme you prefer, as well as whether you want the traditional game or something different to keep the boredom at bay.

Mahjong Deluxe 3 is a pretty straightforward game when it comes to what you have to do and how to go about it, since there’s nothing unusual about it. Thus, if you know how to play mahjong you should feel right at home in this game as well, given the fact that the rules are exactly the same. On the other hand, the experience is much more fast-paced than you would expect.

As such, you have a few hundred levels to go through, each one of which features a different layout. The layouts evolve from simple to complicated over the course of the game, which is only natural. Thus, the first couple of levels can be solved in a matter of seconds, but it gets significantly harder to finish in less than five minutes as you move on.

To keep your eyes from getting bored, the game features a couple of different tile designs, which means that every stage features another set of symbols, albeit from a pretty short list of available ones. On the other hand, it’s much better than playing through a few hundred levels with the same symbols, because it’s bound to get boring that way, regardless of how much you enjoy mahjong.

It’s also possible to aim for better scores by moving as quickly as you can, but this aspect of the game is a bit unpolished and not very intuitive. Hence it’s difficult to understand how you are rewarded and what the timer on the screen means. On the other hand, you can let yourself be distracted by the colorful landscapes and many different worlds and not worry at all about the score.

Although it’s nothing out of the ordinary and it doesn’t feature any new ideas, Mahjong Deluxe 3 is still able to keep you glued to the screen for a few hours if you enjoy puzzles. The graphics are pretty nice and the soundtrack is relatively calming. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game.
