Balatro style mahjong roguelike Aotenjo smoothes difficulty curve in new update

After the huge success of Balatro in 2024, we’ve seen several other adaptations of popular games into a similar roguelike format. One that speaks to my particular sensibilities is Aotenjo: Infinite Hands, a mahjong take on score-multiplying mayhem. Along with being a fun twist on the familiar game, its single-player spin makes it a good way to learn the basics of mahjong if you’ve always been perplexed by its ruleset. Now, a new Aotenjo update makes it an even more appealing proposition, reducing the risk of bad luck ruining your run and helping you climb the difficulty curve more gradually.
