Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Unique gameplay, over 20 diverse characters to play as, extremely satisfying, offers a fair amount of challenge that's super fun to overcome.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I respect that they reported it (even though it's required by Steam) and that it was generally low-key (seems like most of the main art and voice acting is real people-made? I hope so...), I'd have preferred for a game like this to have no AI involvement at all.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In fact, probably due to the higher difficulty (of being mahjong + having so much more going on than poker), I find myself having more fun than the times I did play Balatro.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That's what really makes me like the game, the huge number of hands you can make alongside the big roster of characters, making every run feel different (unless you look specifically for the same combinations every time).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The narrative framework of Demonic Mahjong is light yet engaging, framing each run as a journey through procedurally generated levels filled with various challenges, enemies, and powerful bosses.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really like the concept, graphics, aesthetic, and sound of this game.
