Mahjong Towers Eternity Review

Review by Dylan

If mahjong is your forte or if you are just now getting into the game, Mahjong Towers Eternity is the perfect game for you. This game is as complete a single player mahjong game as you will find. There are over 250,000 layouts (yes, that's 250,000) for you to play and enjoy. With all the different layouts it would take you a lifetime to get through this game.

Basic Gameplay

Mahjong, for those of you not familiar with the name, is a Chinese tile matching game. Through pairing up like tiles you eliminate them from the game space. The goal is to eliminate all of the original tiles as quickly as you can. There are strategic elements of the game that help you pair up every piece. It is good to get rid of as many tiles as you can early and then slow down and strategically eliminate pieces that will help you in the long run.

Mahjong Tower Eternity offers hints and a shuffle option that can be used to help you solve the layouts. This help comes at a cost however, as hints give you a 10 second penalty and a shuffle costs you a minute worth of time. Finishing the complete map can be tricky (even with the helpful hints), but is rewarding and possible, even though it often seems impossible.

You Won't Run Out of Tile Layouts

One aspect of mahjong that is important are the different layouts and designs the tiles can make. You might play a layout in the shape of a butterfly or maybe a pyramid. Layouts are typically different and add an interesting difficulty and aspect to the game. Mahjong Towers Eternity is one of the best single-player mahjong tile games on the market for several reasons but mainly because of its different layouts.

In Mahjong Towers Eternity you can choose from over 250,000 different layouts that vary in both design and difficulty. A fraction of the layouts are stock for the game, because most are downloadable designs created by others throughout the world. New layouts are created and added daily adding to the total number. As an owner of the game you are also granted the power of creating your own layouts that you can play by yourself or share with others throughout the world. Having so many layouts that can be shared makes it so you will never run out of new playing options. This game is super re-playable because you will never have to play the same thing twice.

A Couple Drawbacks

There are a few flaws of the game that detract from its overall quality. The main hitch is not having a multiplayer setting or having the ability to play with others. Interacting with other players through playing and not just sharing new layouts would be a nice feature of the game. Not having multiplayer doesn't take too much away from the game, however, having the feature would be really great.

Conclusion - One of the Best Mahjong Downloads Available

Mahjong Towers Eternity is a great mahjong tile game. In this you will be able to create your own layouts, or share layouts via the internet. This ability to share opens the game up, allowing you to play on any of over 250,000 different layouts. Though you will not be able to play against others via multiplayer the game allows you to associate and chat with other players.

This mahjong game is superior when it comes to tile matching games, and can be played by all ages. The strategic element might make it hard for younger players to solve puzzles, however, playing should not be a problem. Mahjong Towers Eternity does a lot of things right and is a great download that you should checkout if you are looking for mahjong tile game.
