Introduction:

Help the young wolf find his missing family in this Mahjong puzzle adventure! In a quiet backwoods lives a young wolf family. They live a simple life of young modern parents - they spend time with their children , watch TV, order pizza, and play video games. But one day something went wrong.

It all began when Wolf's wife asked him to put the children to sleep, so she could have some time to herself. Wolf coped with the task even better then he thought as he also fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw only an empty cradle and a wide-open door. Without hesitation, he set out on the trail to find his missing family.

The Game:

Aid the young wolf as he embarks on an adventure to find his family that has gone missing all of a sudden. Choose the game mode of your preference from the two options available.

It was a cool and calm night like any other, Wolf had just put his children to sleep and thought he’d doze off for a while himself. Unfortunately, when he woke up his whole house was a wreck and his family was nowhere to be found. Join the young Wolf as he sets out to find who stole his loved ones and then bring them to justice by law… or by claw.

Upon getting into the game for the first time you’ll be shown a few dialogue scenes that’ll give you a brief bit of detail regarding the backstory of the game. After these the actual game play will begin which starts off with a few tutorial levels that are designed for the purpose of easing new players into the game. The tutorial levels teach players the basics by giving helpful information through dialogue boxes so players who are new to the game can understand how things work.

In terms of game play, although it does things similar to most modern day mahjong games, what’s incredible about Mahjong: Wolf Stories is the incredible level design. Despite the massive amount of levels that you’ll play through, each one will feel distinct and they just keep getting more and more fun as the game progresses. It’s pretty amazing how the excellent level design makes sure that the game pretty much never gets repetitive.

There aren’t any unique power-ups to speak of but to keep things interesting Mahjong: Wolf Stories does have a lot of collectibles and such that you can collect as you make your way through the game. They don’t have any major impact on the actual game play but they still deliver a pretty satisfying feeling of achievement if you manage to get them all. There are also two different game modes; one is catered towards the casual audience looking for laid back game play and the other is targeted at the hardcore audience looking for fast-paced game play.

As for the visuals, Mahjong: Wolf Stories is nothing short of gorgeous. The graphics have a ton of medieval elements which is great as it sets this release apart from all the mahjong games that utilize the same common eastern art style. The tiles look really sharp, the artwork is top notch and the background music is absolutely perfect and will easily get anyone in the mood for some great mahjong fun.
