About
Immerse yourself in the history of Ancient Egypt with 50 missions in Pharaoh™: A New Era, a remake of Pharaoh (and the expansion Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile), one of the best city builders from the golden age of Sierra Entertainment. Stone by stone, build your city and manage all aspects of its development to ensure it prospers and makes you a powerful and revered pharaoh.
Develop your city by cultivating the fertile lands along the banks of the Nile valley. Erect the iconic monuments of Ancient Egypt, including the pyramids, the Sphinx and the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Build temples and mausoleums to help manage all aspects of your city's health and culture as well as the predominant polytheistic religion of the time.
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.
Pharaoh™: A New Era celebrates 20 years since the release of the famous franchise with a complete remake, including more than 50 playable missions and over 100 hours of gameplay.
The "Campaign" mode teaches you the game basics while allowing you to experience a unique story in the heart of Ancient Egypt. Explore all aspects of life in a thriving city, build and manage all its fundamental elements to ensure it flourishes: the economy, internal and external trade, culture, health, agriculture, education, etc.
The journey back in time is really brought to life with this new version, which upgrades the gameplay mechanics to modern standards and completely redesigns the captivating soundtrack and gorgeous isometric 2D graphics.

Sentiment mitigé pour cet opus ... entre plaisir de retrouver un vieux jeu en version "modernisée" et impression de jouer à une version béta publiée trop rapidement par manque de temps et/ou de moyens. Si vous avez un lointain souvenir du premier Pharaon, vous retrouverez assez vite vos habitudes. Si vous n'avez pas connu le jeu de Sierra en 1999/2000, cette couche de nostalgie absente ne va pas gommer les défauts du jeu qui a (un peu trop) copié le gameplay de l'original par moment (j'y reviens en dessous). Contrairement à d'autres critiques, le fait d'avoir les combats en automatique ne me dérange pas. On a jamais joué à cette série de jeux pour leur aspect militaire de toute façon. Par contre, reprendre le vieux système de "pathfinding" faisandé de la franchise originelle ... avec l'obligation de gérer les barrages routiers sans arrêt pour éviter qu'un logement meurt de faim à 2 cases d'un bazar car la marchande préfère "distribuer" sa nourriture dans la pampa en prenant systématiquement une mauvaise route : non, clairement non C'était déjà une purge en 1999 forçant à recopier un template prédéfini (et optimisé) de quartier et c'était plus acceptable à notre époque "moderne". Un gros point noir et un tueur de fun. Surtout que c'est une récidive pour ce studio car c'était déjà la même mécanique dans leur premier jeu : Lethis - Path of Progress Pour la réalisation dans son ensemble ... une interface mal pensée et quasi bordélique (rien que l'organisation d'un festival ... aie) et des petits bugs un peu partout qui donnent vraiment l'impression que le jeu a été sorti à l'arrache sans avoir passé la dernière phase de finitions avant commercialisation. Petit jeu, petit studio, petits moyens ? donc ... aucun suivi et point de gros patch qui aurait pu corriger moult défauts de jeunesse. Au final, tentez l'expérience (trouvable à 1€) mais il vous restera cet arrière gout désagréable d'une (nouvelle) occasion ratée d'avoir enfin droit à un successeur à la série de Sierra avec les mini optimisations (en plus d'un upgrade graphique) qu'il aurait fallu pour en faire une référence absolue.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

to many bugs it messes up the game
Did the creators of this game even play it? They made a remake and had the opportunity to improve it. What's the point of building fire-fighting buildings if fire destroys buildings anyway? They can only stop the spread. After a fire, you're left with ashes that have to be manually cleared and the building rebuilt. Not repaired, not automatically rebuilt, just manually placed. In a large city, you don't know which building was burned down. It's a disaster. It makes you want to play less. The production rate of certain buildings is also unclear. The game is unplayable.
Nostalgia but is disappointing i used to have the original on CD and played it lots but this new one not so good feel like dropping it after just a few hrs
I bought the CD Pharoah in 2000. I've replayed it countless times. Pharaoh: A New Era fixes some of the gameplay issues and stays true to the original game. I'm greatly enjoying playing and not needing to pull out a CD drive to play again!
Played this as a kid. It's still so hard to complete missions but boy is it fun. Unlike Tropico it's more of a rule your kingdom right rather than as you wish.
Après avoir passé des centaines d'heures sur Caesar 3, pharaoh (old), Emperor (la version avec les chinois) et Zeus Que dire ? Le remake graphique est intéressant et donne un cachet "new gen" mais assez plat au final ...la vieille version me faisait plus de l'oeil : ( Le jeu est toujours aussi intéressant dans ces différentes mécaniques. Plus simple que Caesar 3 et Emperor. Le truc totalement loupé : les combats mais comment ils ont pu à ce point louper un détail aussi intéressant ??? Remake inférieur à l'orignal, sautez sur Emperor pour un jeu plus complexe ou trouvez la vieille version de pharaoh.
I can't say it's bad. I've played several missions, and like scalability, some graphics. BUT. The gods portraits are no match to what it was. The UI is so generic "modern" "clean" void. Just compare the new IU, buttons, panels with the old ones, where buildings were under hieroglyph-like buttons, text was on panels which looked clay tablets etc. If there would be an option to revert to the old style of buttons, ledgers and the rest of the UI, I would give a positive review. But now it just doesn't have a feel or an atmosphere of the old game about old Egypt. It looks like a generic mobile app. Oh, I really dislike these buttons. Please, bring back the old UI. Also now there is no warfare. In the old game the enemy invaded your land, wandered across your city and tried to destroy your property. And you saw, how your archers from towers kill the enemies, and moved your colons of charriots towards him. Now it all is gone, and no one will come to smash your city, and building walls has no value and interest.
dam they really sucked out the soul from the original art style didn't they.
Boring for me.
