The unique art style and smooth gameplay enhance the overall enjoyment, making it accessible yet challenging with a mix of easy and niche questions.

    • “Majotori is an innovative game; the mechanic of a trivia game may seem simple, but the developer actually managed to maintain a well-balanced rhythm while developing the storyline.
