  • Luxor Mahjong offers a satisfying and relaxing experience for fans of tile-matching games, with a unique Egyptian theme that adds charm.
  • The game features a well-organized interface and multiple modes of play, including Adventure, Single, and Traditional, providing a variety of challenges.
  • Players appreciate the engaging audio and music, which enhances the overall atmosphere of the game.
  • The game suffers from a low resolution and lack of widescreen support, making it visually unappealing and difficult to play on modern monitors.
  • The campaign can feel like a slog due to its length and repetitive gameplay, which may lead to boredom over time.
  • Some players find the interface confusing and the additional power-up tiles to be unnecessarily complicated, detracting from the traditional Mahjong experience.
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game features a repetitive Egyptian-themed soundtrack that enhances the atmosphere but can become monotonous over time. While some players appreciate the thematic fit and find it enjoyable, others criticize the sound effects as annoying and the overall audio quality as lacking. Despite these mixed reviews, the music contributes to the game's immersive experience, particularly for fans of the genre.

    • “The audio and music is there, the music fitting with the Egyptian theme.”
    • “There is an Egyptian soundtrack that makes you feel like you are in that ancient setting.”
    • “It does have a nice theme, some types of tiles are well done, there is pretty comfy background music and it's really fun to play.”
    • “The music is simple and repetitive.”
    • “As far as the minor issues, the music and sound effects are extremely poor (but mutable via options), the graphics feel inherently lacking (pre-blurring), and the gameplay appears to be the same you'd find in any other mainstream mahjong game (aside from the power tiles).”
    • “A good number of the sound effects are highly annoying to the point where you will just end up muting the game which is actually lucky for you since the music isn't all that great either.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in these games receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the Egyptian-themed visuals and animations, while others find them outdated and lacking in quality, especially when played in full screen, which can lead to blurriness. Overall, while the aesthetic elements are noted as decent, they often fall short of modern standards, and the presentation could benefit from more variety and refinement.

    • “It has some nice Egyptian-themed graphics and tiles which I liked.”
    • “Has great graphics and animations, great music and effects plus at the end of the level you get a quote which is a really nice little thing that makes the gameplay even more pleasing.”
    • “Nice graphics, and sounds and the Egyptian take on things is nice too.”
    • “The visuals are fine for the time, but definitely seem too bland and could benefit from different tile skins.”
    • “Second, play in full screen, and get a blurry, stretched-out mess, as the game takes its tiny resolution and stretches both the x and y aspects to fill the screen, making the graphics blurry twice over on widescreen displays.”
    • “As far as the minor issues, the music and sound effects are extremely poor (but mutable via options), the graphics feel inherently lacking (pre-blurring), and the gameplay appears to be the same you'd find in any other mainstream mahjong game (aside from the power tiles).”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the reviewed Mahjong game is criticized for its complicated interface and lackluster design, detracting from the typically simple and relaxing experience expected from the genre. While some users appreciate the addition of power tiles and extra features that enhance traditional gameplay, others note that the overall mechanics remain standard and unremarkable. Additionally, the game's graphics and sound effects receive mixed feedback, with some praising the visuals while others find them lacking.

    • “Has great graphics and animations, great music and effects plus at the end of the level you get a quote which is a really nice little thing that makes the gameplay even more pleasing.”
    • “Luxor added a bunch of zany extra features and difficulty modes to spice up the traditional gameplay.”
    • “This game is almost 20 years old but that has no bearing on its gameplay.”
    • “Mahjong games are supposed to be simple and relaxing, yet this game offers an interface that is complicated not for reasons actually related to the gameplay, but solely due to inept design work.”
    • “As far as the minor issues, the music and sound effects are extremely poor (but mutable via options), the graphics feel inherently lacking (pre-blurring), and the gameplay appears to be the same you'd find in any other mainstream mahjong game (aside from the power tiles).”
    • “This game is almost 20 years old, but that has no bearing on its gameplay.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal, focusing primarily on completing levels to collect artifacts and restore favor to the gods, with no voice acting or significant narrative elements. However, players embark on a quest to recover stolen treasures of ancient Egypt, which adds a thematic backdrop to the puzzle-solving experience.

    • “Embark on an epic quest to recover the stolen treasures of ancient Egypt in Luxor: Mah Jong.”
    • “There is no story or voice acting, which isn't a bad thing because this game is just about puzzles.”
    • “No real story, just complete levels to obtain artifacts to restore favor to the gods.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game exhibits some interface bugs, particularly when closing the application, but overall stability improves significantly during gameplay, leading to a positive experience.

    • “Yes, this game was never released as a standalone, so it's a little buggy in the interface (closing the game, etc.).”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it hard to enjoy the experience.”
    • “I encountered several glitches that disrupted my gameplay and made it frustrating.”
