This is a Mahjong game of the Japanese style rule. The Slider that exists under the screen is moved, and the tile is selected. And, the Slider is done in the tap and the tile is discard. Mahjong is the game to finish four Melds and one Pairs. Example: [1, 2, 3][6, 6, 6][6, 7, 8][N, N, N][4, 4] However, there is a hand not approved when Chi, Pon, and Open Kan. Please note whether there is a hand when you do 1 and 9 in Chi and Pon. In the rule of the japanese mahjong, one or more hands are necessary. The hand can be made by paying 1,000 points and doing Reach. However, when Chi, Pon, and Open Kan are done, Reach cannot be done. If it is a closed hand, high point will be obtained. About Lost Hand. A hand that is Waiting, but cannot be won off someone else's discard due to the fact that the owner of the hand already threw a winning tile in their own discard. Lost Hand if one in all winning tiles are here even if discard doesn't do the tile which it wants to do. But, self-draw is possible even with Lost Hand. The knack is that Ron is never done by the other party. Ron is never done with the tile that does Discard. Please reason the Hand from other party's Discard and win.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mahjong Demon at 73% against RogueVana's 38%. Mahjong Demon also leads on ratings volume (85 vs 1) and chart position (#139 vs unranked). RogueVana's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RogueVana holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mahjong Demon has 85 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Mahjong Demon's written reviews are positive against 38% of RogueVana's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mahjong Demon ships an update every 6 weeks, RogueVana every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
