Description
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.
  • Destroy enemies on land and sea, or simply build the perfect Egyptian city of your liking with the City Construction Kit.

Since childhood

One of the best games I have played in my life and really inspired me to go into the profession i'm in today. One of a kind. To have it remastered for new platforms will be a dream come true!

A real hidden gem, among other games.

This is really one of the best city building games that I have played, it´s really good, and you have to have a good balance in strategy and city planning to succeed. I mean that you really have to earn all the goals in each mission in order to win and move on to the next mission, and that is increasingly difficullt with each level, always testing and making you improve your skills in a positive way. I really like this game. =)

classic city builder game

I had played this game long time ago, so when I saw it here in GOG I bought just to relieve my memory of it, wasn't planning on playing it too much. That didn't happen though, I see myself playing the game all the time, it still holds up pretty well even now. Its a very good game, with nice visuals and soundtrack, worth playing for sure.

A big addiction

This was my very first city builder. At first I was a bit skeptical and did not like how things went about in the game. But, as I spent countless hours trying to figure out how things work, it became clear, that game is a bit complex and you have to do things properly or things get out of control very easily, very fast. The campaign is really well laid out. The pacing is good and the missions a re very challenging later on. The sound is good, controls are easy and intuitive. Overall a very very good game, on which I have spent countless hours playing, trying to get water to that one bloody house which just does not rank up.
