Immerse yourself in the history of Ancient Egypt with 50 missions and over 100 gameplay hours in Pharaoh™: A New Era, a remake of Pharaoh (and the expansion Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile), one of the best city builders from the golden age of Sierra Entertainment. Stone by stone, build your city and manage all aspects of its development to ensure it prospers and makes you a powerful and revered Pharaoh.
Develop your city by cultivating the fertile lands along the banks of the Nile valley. Erect the iconic monuments of Ancient Egypt, including the pyramids, the Sphinx and the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Build temples and mausoleums to help manage all aspects of your city's health and culture as well as the predominant polytheistic religion of the time.
Ensure your city is prosperous enough to deal with economic or political crises, or even plundering by enemies. A Pharaoh takes care of its people and does whatever it can to earn the favour of the gods.
Pharaoh™: A New Era celebrates 20 years since the release of the famous franchise with a complete remake, including more than 50 playable missions and over 100 hours of gameplay.
The "Campaign" mode teaches you the game basics while allowing you to experience a unique story in the heart of Ancient Egypt and explore all aspects of life in a thriving city.
You have everything at your disposal to build an entire city and manage all its fundamental elements to ensure it flourishes: the economy, internal and external trade, culture, health, agriculture, education, etc. To help you monitor your progress, various indicators show you the overall well-being of your city and its residents.

I was a fan of the original and so snapped this up when it came out. Its buggy, and in a way that quietly shuts your city down without much warning. For example, your trade routes stop functioning when you make edits to them and your fishing boats stop harvesting, starving your city very quickly.
The battle system is also changed and while on paper I think its an improvement, it doesn't mesh well with one of the God's blessings.
The original game was really cool, but I've always thought that there was a possibility to make something even better just my improving some of the mechanics and with a modern refresh. This game tries to do the modern refresh, but the mechanics are just worse than a 20-years-old game, which is clearly not a good point. A lot of bugs! Clearly disappointing.
I have been quite patient with the game and all those annoying things which are simply there. bugs bugs bugs everywhere. but Today I have encountered an issue that simply stops my play. game goes on pause in August on map: KEBET and just wont move at all.
I love this game and the entire gameplay - but lets be honest if u cant play u cant play
Strongly ZERO recomendation - I regret money spend
Very disappointed: I loved Pharaoh, and expected new missions, but the campaigns are exactly the same! The only changes I see so far - I'm in te 8th or 9th mission of the campaign - are visual (I find the look just a bit different, not particularly better), and the battles, which have been completely cancelled (no opportunity to intervene at all: it is just a sort of auto-mode!). Oh and the mini-map disappeared, which I expect will make navigating a larger map in later missions a pain in the neck. A waste of my money.
