In Aotenjo: Infinite Hands, you play a single-player Mahjong roguelike deckbuilder, assembling scoring hands to overcome threats and push deeper into Aotenjo. Its Mahjong-inspired rules and patterns provide the foundation for each run.
During rounds, you use drawn tiles to form combinations and patterns that earn points. Plan around the scoring rules while responding to boss conditions that can restrict which hands or tiles work well.
Between challenges, build a strategy with artifacts, gadgets, and tile changes: add, remove, or alter tiles, and improve patterns to shape future scoring. Different Mahjong rule sets and changing run rewards create varied ways to approach a run.
Players often enjoy the strategic hand-building, the satisfaction of combining tile changes with artifacts and gadgets, and the variety of patterns and run strategies. Several also praise the sound design and find the game a relaxing but absorbing way to explore Mahjong. Others say the rules and item effects can be hard to learn, and reviews raise concerns about balance, clarity, and bugs.
