Pharaoh™: A New Era

Just like I remember but with lots of added upgrades that don't take away from the base game. I for one am fond of the new combat system. It keeps my game space much cleaner.

The game is still buggy. The market ladies go all across the city to pick up food from granaries, even though the granary next to them has plenty suplies. Other walker like construction walkers ignore the shortest route and go on the first laid road. Atmoshere is lacking. They try to make it look and feel like Pharaoh, but somehow it's sterile. There aren't as much random ambient noises, nor te graphics look good. Mediocre experience at best.

This game has been remade faithfully I love every moment of playing it

although the "global labour" setting vastly improves the original, i absolutely cannot give any game that has "change difficulty at any time" without any incentive to stay at least on normal.... anything above 0 stars and utter contempt... HIDDIOUS sell out simply for money and laziness, and also complete lack of understanding of most gamers... So, no, 0/10

I recommend this game in so much as I love these kinds of games and the OG's: Pharoah, Caesar III, etc. are the best in the genre, the modern takes notwithstanding. That is NOT to say that this game doesn't have it's bugs, or quirks. If you can get past those bugs this is a very fun game! If you can deal with building a Large Pyramid by ONLY importing 1440 Plain Stone, then you can deal with the bit of monotony you inevitably run into, after the struggle of stabilizing your economy! Other than that, this game plays differently than the OG version in terms of the combat. It used to be you could defend your cities with towers and a dream, now you actually need to invest in the militaries and in some maps that's downright diabolical to achieve. Keep that in mind!

I think it's a great game, reminds me of the one I used to rotate into my game collection years ago...
