Developer Triskell Interactive and publisher Dotemu have shared the gameplay overview of the upcoming remake of the legendary city-builder. Pharaoh: A New Era is coming on February 15, bringing along 4K resolution, modernized UI as well as over 50 missions that will guide you through over 100 gameplay hours of Ancient Egypt history.
“Pharaoh: A New Era is the remake of the beloved and original ‘Pharaoh’ game released in 1999. This cult classic provided an unforgettable memory to generations of players and narrated 4,000 years of the history of Ancient Egypt through six different ages. To make sure that players who have never played the original Pharaoh game feel comfortable enough we gathered some basic but useful tips to get started.”
From a tiny village to a grand city, cultivate the fertile lands along the banks of the Nile valley, erect monuments, build temples and mausoleums and much more. Ensure your city is prosperous enough to deal with economic or political crises, or even plundering by enemies. A Pharaoh takes care of its people and does whatever it can to earn the favour of the gods.
The game offers both the campaign and the freeplay option, allowing you to choose between a story-driven experience and an endless sandbox playground.
More than just a remake, Pharaoh: A New Era also brings hundreds of gameplay changes, enhancing the original experience to new standards:
- New reworked UI: with overhauled menus and a fully redesigned UI, build your city more efficiently and raise your empire to new heights
- With the New Nilometer Indicator, track both when the Nile floods occur and its quality
- Manage your people more easily and efficiently with new and redesigned mechanics, like the Workers tooltip, the Fixed Worker Ratio or the Global Labor Pool
- Develop your city with ease with the ability to quickly copy-paste buildings
- And many more!
