Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Mahjong × Roguelike is a rare combination. Balancing, new hand-types, and the player experience all need feedback from real players voting with their wallets. EA lets players co-tune the game, instead of building behind closed doors for half a year. EA focuses on PC polish first (mobile is a later phase).”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 6 months, depending on player feedback and content progress. Our criteria for 1.0 include reaching a healthy player base and reception (review score and retention targets) plus at least 2 major content updates.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“EA build: 50 spirits / 21 hand-types / 11 schools / 24 stages + Endless / 20 bosses / 8 ranks / 33 achievements / 3 modes — the core loop is already 100% complete, far beyond a "demo".
Full version plans to add: 10–16 new spirits · Retrigger / Blueprint mechanics · 20 Challenge stages · Friend Challenges · Weekly Challenge · Steam Deck Verified · deeper controller support.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“beta.62 — fully playable, calibrated with 150 million Monte Carlo simulations. All three modes (Ranked / Daily / Free) unlocked. No stage locks, no rank locks, no watermark, no time gates.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to offer a relatively lower price during Early Access to thank our
early supporters. The price may increase moderately when we leave Early
Access as more content and features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will directly shape development:
· Balance tuning: driven by both Monte-Carlo simulation and real player data —
player-reported balance issues enter every patch's tuning list;
· Content direction: new Jokers and Factions will be discussed and voted on
with the community — the most requested ideas get built first;
· Difficulty curve: continuously calibrated with demo & EA playthrough data
(clear rates, stuck points);
· Major changes tested first: big balance changes ship to a Beta branch for
community testing before going live;
· Every update ships with detailed patch notes crediting players whose
feedback shaped it.

Main channels: Steam Community Discussions (checked daily) and Steam reviews.
We are a small team — the developer personally reads and replies.”

About This Game

Authentic Chinese Mahjong × Roguelike Deckbuilding

Take Balatro's addictive snowball deckbuilding and graft it onto three centuries of mahjong hand-types. 50 spirits, 11 schools, 21 hand-types, 20 bosses, 24 stages + Endless mode. Climb from your first win to Sparrow Master, King, Emperor, all the way to a single-hand 1e15 "Sky-Break".

Real Mahjong · 21 Hand-Types Recognized

Sequence, Triplet, Kong, Pair, Pinfu, Pure Suit, Half Suit, Tanyao, Seven Pairs, Thirteen Orphans (Kokushi), Small/Big Three Dragons, Small/Big Four Winds, All Honors, All Green, Nine Gates, Four Concealed Triplets, Blessing of Earth/Man/Heaven — each hand-type has its own multiplier. Tenpai + win double-activation brings classic mahjong into a roguelike frame.

50 Spirits · 11 Schools · Every Spirit Matters

Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, Thunder, Snow, Moon, Sun, Night, Dragon, God — eleven schools, each with signature spirits that combine into countless builds: honor-flow, kong-flow, tenpai-flow, discard-flow...

No bloat — all 50 spirits are verified by 150M Monte Carlo sims to contribute positively in their matching school. No dead cards. Few but fine. The deeper your build, the harder the snowball — millions in one stage, billions in three, Sky-Break at the climax.

Eight Ranks · Snowball + Sky-Break

Eight ranks from beginner to Sparrow Sage; each rank up strengthens bosses, expands the spirit pool, and steepens the reward curve. Endless mode is uncapped — dealer-repeat + Echo spirits stack the snowball higher: Master(1e6) → Grandmaster(1e8) → King(1e10) → Emperor(1e12) → Immortal(1e14) → Sky-Break(≥1e15). Six title banners + share cards let your build become a legend on social media.

Three Game Modes

• Ranked — 8 ranks of linear progression, boss recipes deepen

• Daily Challenge — same global seed, leaderboard, refreshed daily

• Free Mode — pick your school and spirit pool, an open sandbox

Why This Is The Roguelike Mahjong Deserves

• 150M Monte Carlo calibration — all five balance metrics green, zero dead spirits

• 21 hand-types with 100% real mahjong rule recognition — not "looks like mahjong", it IS mahjong

• 20 bosses with restriction mechanics (ban a school / weaken a hand-type / force discards) — builds must evolve

• 33 Steam achievements + Steam Cloud cross-device saves

• Partial controller support + Steam Deck (Verified applied for during EA)

Development Team

LEON LIU GAMES — one indie studio, one core developer, a double love for mahjong and roguelikes. Sparrow God went through 65+ iterations and 150M simulation tests. See you on Steam — be the one who breaks the sky.

Ready? Make all 24 stages your stage, make 1e15 your signature.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Sparrow God uses generative AI assistance for localization and some store-page/marketing copy. The game's design, mechanics, and mahjong rules are all original works by the developer. In-game visuals and audio are created through the developer's direction + algorithms (procedural rendering/synthesis), not AI-generated images or music. AI is a development-assist tool; the creative direction is led by a human.
