Immerse yourself in Ancient Egypt from the age of the great pyramids to the final years of the New Kingdom. Govern all aspects of the exotic Egyptian, culture from religion to trading with distant cities. Cultivate vast farms in the Nile valley and discover the important role this river, with its unpredictable floods, played in the life of the Egyptians. Stone by stone, erect giant monuments - from the Sphinx, to the lighthouse and library of Alexandria.
Manage your city poorly and you shall watch it burn, be pillaged or collapse in economic ruin. Manage it well and ultimately the greatest Egyptian structures will be built in your honor. Your rule will span generations, until your dynasty, your royal bloodline produces a Pharaoh!
Pharaoh includes many features never before seen in a city building game, such as a farming model based on the flooding of the Nile, naval warfare, giant monuments that are assembled over time, unique dynastic progression, and variable difficulty levels. This a massively addictive, huge, but most importantly fun game that is a great choice for anyone looking for a solid city builder title, or an intellectual challenge.
Pharaoh Cleopatra bundle includes Pharaoh and Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile expansion.
A city-builder gem, made by the creators of the award-winning Caesar III.
Extensive help section not only does an excellent job at explaining the game mechanics, but also contains many interesting facts and trivia about life in Ancient Egypt.

Every time i played this game i found out something new there is so much detail in this game and i have spent way too many hours playing it i think ill get it again and spend all my time building that perfect city and getting those fantastic manors :D
You're here, in your living room on this afternoon. Winter is striking, rain hitting the roof as you sit down with your laptop in a comfortable chair besides the fireplace.
You welcome some wandering immigrants, you only have your hospitality to offer. The harsh climate of Egypt will challenge you as you embark on this great adventure, months pass and your city is already home of a thousand souls, exporting goods, albeit an important debt in your treasury. But, wait, your Overseer of the Military has been informed of incoming enemies, ready to burn your city down. Luckily you're already prepared for this attack and you deploy your infantry and your warships on the war front. Peace has returned in your prosperous city as you return to your farms to grow some barley.
It is that time of the year again, heavy rains are sweeping throughout Nubia, beyond the borders of Upper Egypt, water is flowing into the Nile. The Great Inundation soaks and fertilizes the farming grounds along the river, you honour Osiris for providing food for the coming year.
All the festivities come to a sudden stop as Bast has sent her wrath on your population and a plague is killing all your dreams, you neglected her, you build her a temple hoping to never defy her again.
It is Pharaoh's will to build a mastaba, another burial place in Nubt, your city, the city of our ancestors. The task is immense and you need to train workers to lay the bricks that you have imported at a high cost. As you stabilize you economy and start producing more Deben that you spend, you'll find yourself walking like an Egyptian on the road back from the Senet's house to your apartment, on the way you encouter your bazaar man, the local brewer and an Osiris' priest, you've sucessfully provided shelter for thousands of lifes in the warm heat of Egypt, but you're never safe here, a house in burning in the distance.
The doorbell rings, it's already dark outside time flew by, the rain has stopped, and the fire still burns.
Superb, now and upon release. The countless positive reviews exist exactly because this game is easily 100 hours of your life -and memorable hours -long after you've moved away to other titles.
Lacks the magnificent colour palette and camp voice-overs of Zeus, arguably the best Impressions title, but still Ptah after all these years.
I've owned this game three times over two decades because I'd lose my CD-ROM copy, and now I have it digitially. I'll go successfully adult for ages, then have a burning *NEED* to play this one game out of hundreds. It's fun, solo player, challenging, and simply delightful. Soundtrack lead-in is memorable, too.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
