Our Expert Score
Mahjong Demon is a stylish and slightly more intense take on the classic tile-matching Solitaire. The 'Demon' moniker refers both to the darker, more atmospheric aesthetic and the challenging nature of the tile layouts. While many Mahjong games focus on a relaxing experience, this one feels more like a race against your own logic. The tile art is crisp and high-contrast, making it easy to identify pairs even in the most crowded stacks.
The game excels in its board variety, offering layouts that specifically test your spatial awareness. It lacks the bells and whistles of some more modern 'adventure-style' Mahjong games, but it makes up for it with a rock-solid engine and a distraction-free environment. It’s the ideal version for purists who want a slightly more edgy presentation and boards that are genuinely difficult to solve without careful planning. It’s a polished, reliable puzzler for the veteran tile-matcher.

Tips & Walkthrough
Prioritize clearing the tallest central stacks first. Tiles buried deep in the center are the most common cause of 'no more moves' scenarios. Clearing them early opens up the most matching possibilities.
Gameplays
A tile is only 'open' if it can be moved either left or right without hitting another tile, and has no tiles on top of it. Use the 'Hint' button only when truly stuck, as it incurs a time penalty.

Q&A
The game uses a randomizer, so not every board is guaranteed to be solvable, but the 'Shuffle' feature ensures you can always reorganize remaining tiles to continue.

favorite riichi app
Thu Jan 01 2026 fashionisto_burritoThis checks all the boxes for me: it’s portrait orientation; everything is easily legible; play against bots that make reasonably smart moves; option to get hints for discards; shows waits, explains points in detail, etc.; doesn’t have goofy gacha/anime/furries (sorry Kemono) aesthetics. Some of the UI could be polished, sure, but this one easily blows the others out of the water. My only wish is that other mahjong variants like HKOS, MCR, etc. were available; I’d pay SO much for that!
Fix the bug
Fri Oct 16 2020 Sensei418This a new review as the older version of this app was much better and less buggy, but once those bugs were fixed and this came out.... now I just played a game with over six West Wind tiles in the game! What!? Please fix and print back the old look. 🤷♂️ Update: the newest version is great! Thank you for such a good app!
Redesigned for the worse :(
Sun Jun 07 2020 mirdathIt’s the same (excellent) game underneath it, but the new user interface is, minus some improvements such as highlighting opponents’ discards more, bad. Tile faces are smaller, muddier, and largely obscured by the overlaid number. Blue dots and bams are nearly the same color. 3D is busier than the previous clear, simple 2D graphics and adds little. Unity takes noticeably longer to start than the old engine. I get it makes multi-platform support a lot better, but what price build convenience? Frankly, I’d pay to have the old version back.
My go to for Riichi
Wed Jan 11 2023 RomeoKilo125If I don’t have time to play real people this is a pretty good way to practice. Scoring could be explained a little better.
Excellent Training Tool
Sat Sep 19 2020 SignOf26I use this game to get better at Riichi Mahjong. It has helped a lot since you can get so many games in so quickly and the CPU makes you aware of every move possibility. The downside is that the game is way too hard and has no difficulty setting (confirmed with dev.) If you can still have fun losing nearly every game then dig in.
Broken Player Settings
Mon Nov 04 2019 jeffloveswafflesGreat Japanese Mahjong game. My only real issue is some of the settings don’t seem to have a way to save or exit, requiring me to force close the game. I’m experiencing this when trying to change player name and voice. Not a big deal, but still.
Fun and addicting
Fri Aug 06 2021 Beetle GutsAs good as it can get for an app. No micro transactions, no ads, no distractions, just mahjong. If I could give it more stars I would.
Just awesome
