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.

Perfect city building game

I was 10 when I first played this masterpiece and I still play it from time to time. I could never find a better Ancient Egypt themed city builder game. The graphics are great for it's time.

City Builder Goodness

I helped beta test Cleopatra, Zeus and Children of the Nile, Tilted Mill games put out fantastic city builders. Us regulars to the games always hoped they would make more historical games, but after the China setting none materialized. Sadness. I loved the Pharoah games, but if you want an even better ancient Egypt city builder, get Children of the Nile. All the wonkiness of the original game was corrected or removed.

Rebuy cause its good

A Classic i brought on GOG that I still have the CD for it, I (and my brother) played it so much my poor CD eventually Died so when i saw GOG had it was a no Brainer :D For the review: Interesting City Builder endless modes can be fun you can see how you survive in a harsh place or take it easy and build how you want Or you could for a "Family" and take your line through the Coarse of a history (not sure how acurate of a history it is but still) starting out as a little farm village manager to the grand viser and eventualy becoming pharoh yourself A Few Bugs to deal with such as hunters can't find food even though the animals are right near them -.- but that is very rare to see Overall 9.5/10

Ptah

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.
