I loved the original Pharaoh and Cleopatra (as well as Zeus and Poseidon) and this is a faithful remake with updated graphics and gameplay. Over all, it is just as engaging as the original, uses the original voices for the NPCs, and runs great. However, one of my biggest issues is taking away the debug menu. For people like myself especially who like to focus on building my city without worrying about gold, the debug menu was heaven sent. Up until recently, it could be modded back in, but the latest patch bricked the mod. The menu is something that many people across all platforms have asked for the developers to bring back into the game. Devs not listening to their audience seems to be an ongoing issue with the game. Still, if you were a fan of the original, it's worth purchasing, particularly if its on sale.
