Pharaoh NEW ERA short preview by Rise of Atlas
1And my friends as i say few days ago i will present to you one more Pharaoh!
A New Era is the remaster of the original Pharaoh released in 1999. It's a charming old school city builder with 2D isometric visuals and roads at straight angles. It can't compete with deeper games such as Cities Skyline or Frostpunk, but it plays its hand well: the Egyptian theme is very well developped.
Towering monuments can be built using inordinate amounts of time, material and manpower. There's a pantheon of five gods (Osiris, Ra, Seth, Bast and Ptah) to worship by building temples and running religious festivals. Like in real life the Nile is the key to prosperity. Wells and clay pits require to be dug near water. Farms need to be built on flood plains or irrigated by ditches linked to a water lift pumping from the river. People and goods can be ferried from one bank to the other. Ships from distant cities stop at your docks to trade.
The remaster blows some dust off the original game by introducing a range of quality-of-life tweaks: an unlimited zoom out, building copy-pasting, and new gameplay toggles like the global worker pool and the fixed worker-to-inhabitant ratio instead of the ageing system.
