In their reviews, critics point out fidelity to the original and how many details have been preserved. At the same time, Pharaoh: A New Era is a game of its time, suited in many ways for modern players.
According to reviews, fans of the original will feel right at home, but this house has received a major overhaul in the form of improved graphics, even allowing us to play games in 4K.
However, not all aspects are so positive. Among the minuses, unreadable gameplay elements are often cited, such as certain parts of the interface or the absence of a list of names when creating a profile. According to some reviewers, the new, more “cartoonish” graphics won’t appeal to everyone.
Ultimately, the consensus among these opinions is that Pharaoh: A New Era is a very good city builder with a competent mission set that retains the spirit of the original, while introducing much-needed modern solutions.
The game can currently be purchased on Steam and GOG.com. These are promotional prices, reduced by 15% to celebrate the launch. The offer will remain valid until February 22. More details about Pharaoh: A New Era, including system requirements, can be found here.
