Mahjong Soul

Fun and good game for Mahjong beginners. The game includes a guide for players who are unfamiliar and it takes quite some time to learn. I have around 20+ hours of playtime on the Japanese client when I played on my phone. For those who want to customize and get various characters, the gacha system is not f2p friendly. It might be the least friendliest and the greediest of all gacha games I've played. You can get free pull tickets by buying and donating gifts in which you use one of many currencies that are in the game. It feels a bit overwhelming. And farming the necessary materials will take a long time. You can use money to get 10x pull but it's incredibly pricey and you may spend up to $60-$100 to get the character you want on the banner. You can play with friends in a private match but unfortunately can't party up against strangers. Though this is understandable to make it a fair online game. If you dont mind the default things you start it or don't care about gacha, it's still an enjoyable mahjong game. I recommend it but

so good

4/5 I wish this game had a better, more modern UI/UX. Additionally, it uses way more resources than I would like to when in idle. A little optimization couldn't hurt. As for everything else: It's a Mahjong game, nothing much to say here. All the gacha stuff is completely cosmetical and trivial. The minigames/seasonal modes are quite fun, nice way to cool off after a losing streak (and the free rewards are definitely a plus). Thankfully no over the top gooner bait (looking at you RC). You might encounter some risqué stuff here and there, but you could play this game in public without worrying too much.

its mahjong, it has a gacha for girls and whatever for those who want it but its not like you can't ignore it

I would glady take every gooner bait Riichi City has to offer if it keeps me away from the greediest company i have ever witnessed in my miserable existence

mahjong is fun

riichi mahjong is a psychological experiment designed to push the boundaries of the greatest possible mood swings from a human brain. do not play unless you wish to inflict irreparable psychic damage on yourself
