Nintendo Life: If you’ve ever played any iteration of Mahjong before, then there’s a good chance that you know how the tile-matching gameplay works. While the core experience remains unchanged, it’s what Mahjong 3D - Warriors of the Emperor does with the system that makes this one stand out. Rather than simply finding all of the matching tiles on a particular board and moving right along to the next one, Warriors of the Emperor adds a story and characters, making completing levels much more rewarding and giving players a reason to look forward to advancing towards the next stage.
Nintendo Insider writes:
Yet there’s enough fresh appeal here, sprinkled with new ideas that work well if not that imaginative. It’s clear to see why Mahjong has become so popular in a similar sense to other eastern puzzle classics, and Mahjong 3D: Warriors of the Emperor does a commendable job of hooking you in.
"This is a very good game with good gameplay, an interesting story and a level designer. But if you don't like Mahjong, don't buy this." - Nintendo Feed
