Pharaoh: A New Era
GameOn Magazine|Issue 162 - April 2023
You know that over-rated trivia quote “The time between us and the Roman Empire is the same as Cleopatra is to the construction of the pyramids”?
Bennett Perry
Pharaoh: A New Era

I would like to add another one. The time between the remake of the 1999 PC game Pharaoh this year is the same as the original game is to the end of the Vietnam War.

Though you may not feel smarter knowing that factoid, you’ll definitely learn something about ancient Egypt in Pharaoh: A New Era, a city management/RTS game on the PC. Like all city management games, you construct a functioning settlement in an isometric birds-eye view— like an omnipotent god of infrastructure and waste management.

Pharaoh: A New Era, developed by Triskell Interactive and published by DotEmu, boasts new specs and 4K graphics of which the maps and building models are pleasant to look at. What lets it down are the assets for animals and settlers looking more like they belong on Android. Nevertheless, you’ll be hard-pressed not to think the game wasn’t made by a AAA company due to the attention to detail with each building, indicating what it is, how it operates, and/or how it was used in reality.
