I have yet to see another game, that takes a historic era as serious as this one. I would recommend it to everybody having the slightest interest in ancient egypt. Sometimes the game has more the feel of a documentary than a pure game, but never so much as to neglect its gameplay completely. The resource management, that is the core gameplay of this game, is fun, and not without its challanges. I feel, however, without the strong theme, the gameplay could not fully hold its own. All the same, the theme is there, and its done wonderful justice, and so as a whole the game is a worthwhile experience. Being a game developer myself, I feel like I need to congratulate the team behind the game. In their very own way, they've created a game worthy of being talked about.
The Very best of the Series, brought into modern times in just the right way. Be sure to play it with the Long War mod however, as it will add the few things that the original lacks
One of the most atmospheric games I have played in the last years. It's a bit wacky on the technical side of things, controls and graphics could be better, and there is no voice acting, but the gameplay and the writing is great. Most of all the game has got a very interesing scenario, and while it is not faithfull to historic events at all, it allways feels just right in a way. This is the best game about Conquistadores that I ever played, it catches everything that is interesting about that topic just great!
