Players can slowly adapt to new challenges and are not overwhelmed by too many things at once. Now, for a city-building game, this works marvellously. The player completes missions to advance to a new step or era and every time new elements are introduced into the game, raising the difficulty. Since this is still quite some months in the future, this is the perfect opportunity to revisit the original and wonder how did a game of 20 years old remain popular? Is it due to a major feeling of gamer-nostalgia or is there more to it? What do we hope changes or remain the same in A New Era? Reason enough to give this game a new life in the upcoming game Pharaoh: A New Era that is expected to be released in 2021. To this day Pharaoh is still being mentioned as the best city-builder game ever (one of the public’s favourite on sites as ‘ ranker’ ‘ the gamer’ and at least in a top 10 on other sites) and you only have to look at the Steam reviews to realise this game holds a special place in many hearts. This city-building game takes place in Ancient Egypt and the player leads ‘a great family’ that should steadily rise to power throughout fifteen centuries and two dozen generations, by managing cities and people’s needs.
Your empire has crumbled after repelling invaders of war and you’re on a mission to rebuild it and become the greatest Pharaoh that ever lived.The game Pharaoh came out over twenty years ago in 1999 and became an instant classic. Set in the Egyptian days, the story is a rather simple one. Which obviously became popular because people enjoyed the likes of Age of Empires, Stronghold and many other games that require you to build up your own existence.įollowing in the footsteps of others may not always lead you down the right path, however. These games seem to be growing increasingly popular now after the release of many city building games on social networking sites. Though I found mine wanting to do something. With a sales pitch of ‘building glorious Egyptian towns and expanding your realm’, it intrigued me… so off I went to download it and get stuck in.įate of the Pharaoh is pretty much a point and click game, without the need for the keyboard your left, or right (if you’re a lefty!) hand gets a nice rest while the other clicks away.
With the game being available for as little as £3 from their website it’s got to be worth a go, right?
Now many of you may think that a game from Cateia Games may not be worth your few quid, but I’d typically beg to differ. Today I’m looking at Fate of the Pharaoh, a release from Cateia Games.
