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.
Many indicators have also been added or improved: keep better track of the frequency or quality of the Nile's floods with the Nilometer, or don't lose sight of your population's mood with some unique new tools!

Childhood addiction remastered!
Totally worst it
It feels a little bit dumbed-down with the global labour pool and lack or real military. It's still enjoyable, but the difficulty is gone.

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.

J'ai déjà joué à Pharaoh, il y a longtemps, mais la nostalgie.... quand tu nous tiens. Qu'importe, je l'ai retrouvé en partie car c'est vrai que les combats ne sont plus et ils ne sont pas très réussi. La version d'origine était mieux. Mais dans l'ensemble c'est un jeu ou l'on ne se coupe pas la tête et découpe en morceaux. C'est un jeu plaisant, mélangeant détente et casse-tête pour ceux qui le commencerons. Super musique, j'adore.
The game is flat out broken. The ratings system just doesn't work leaving you stuck in missions in an endless war against the brokenness to try and move on through the campaign. It will say things like "you need more dentists" but I've put 50 dentists, one on every corner and along every street. It just doesn't work and its frustrating to play.
...wie vor 20 Jahren...einfach toll gemacht :)
Same as the old one for the average player but with modern graphics (zoom in and out with the mouse etc.) Good tip: go to the steam page for Pharaoh and Cleopatra (the original game) and click "view the manual" for a much better manual to the game. Much of it plays the same.
3 years later still completely bugged...thanks for nothing
I tried this a while back when it was originally released. As a fan of the original, it was missing a bunch of features and I found it way too easy. Now after some patches and with the community bugfixes mod (found on nexus and frequently updated) it's way better and much closer to the original especially in the difficulty aspect (very hard mode feels much more similar to how original felt). Overall, I think the only thing missing for me now is the camera rotation and military aspect (though I don't miss it the latter too much). Overall I can recommend this as a way to play Pharaoh in 2026.
[h1][b]🎮 Reseña de Pharaoh™: A New Era[/b][/h1] [h2]Resumen del Juego[/h2] Pharaoh™: A New Era es un simulador/estrategia de construcción de ciudades con vista isométrica 2D donde tu trabajo es básicamente el sueño húmedo de cualquier burócrata: planear calles, administrar recursos, mover inventarios, abrir rutas de intercambio y mantener contentos a tus habitantes… mientras te exigen más servicios como si el Nilo trajera también derechos laborales. La propuesta es clara: levantar un imperio egipcio a punta de economía, diplomacia y microgestión. La primera impresión es “esto es hermoso y ordenadito”… hasta que te das cuenta de que tu ciudad funciona como reloj suizo: si una pieza se mueve un cuadrito, el resto decide colapsar con la dignidad de un faraón viendo cómo se le cae el delineado. Es un juego para quienes disfrutan los tutoriales (sí, existen), la optimización obsesiva y el placer culposo de ver números subir… y bajar cuando se te olvida un detalle mínimo, porque aquí el mínimo detalle es básicamente una maldición ancestral. [h2]Lo que construyes vs. lo que se derrumba[/h2] Lo Bueno: ✅ 🏛️ Constructor de ciudades isométrico 2D con vibra histórica y atmosférica: Egipto se siente “Egipto”, no “arena genérica con estatuas”. ✅ 📦 Administración y economía con cadena de recursos/intercambios que engancha: cuando todo fluye, se siente glorioso. ✅ 🎯 47 logros de Steam: ideal para el que necesita validación digital por haber puesto una granja en el lugar correcto. ✅ ☁️ Steam Cloud + cromos: tu imperio y tu vicio viajan contigo. ✅ 🛠️ Editor de niveles: porque nada dice “relajación” como diseñar tu propio sufrimiento. Lo No Tan Bueno: ❌ 🧩 Exigente con la microgestión: a veces más que estrategia se siente como “auditoría egipcia 24/7”. ❌ 📚 Puede ser muy de nicho: si no te gusta administrar inventarios y rutas, esto te va a parecer trabajo no remunerado. ❌ 🧠 La dificultad puede volverse castigadora si no optimizas: el juego no te aplaude por intentarlo; te cobra. ❌ 🎭 Un jugador total: si querías caos con amigos, aquí solo tendrás caos… contigo mismo. ❌ 👥 Comunidad activa pequeña (179 jugadores): no es un desierto, pero tampoco es una metrópolis.

Si te gusta la estrategia de administración con economía, recursos e intercambios, vas a encontrar un vicio metódico y satisfactorio. Si no, vas a sentir que te contrataron de administrador municipal en el Antiguo Egipto sin beneficios. Lo controversial: no es “para todos”, y no debería intentar serlo. Su encanto está en ser estricto, en pedirte orden, en castigar el diseño flojo. Es un simulador que no te vende fantasía: te vende responsabilidad… y luego te pregunta por qué tu almacén está mal ubicado como si fuera pecado capital. Con 179 jugadores activos, la comunidad no está abarrotada, pero 4532 recomendaciones totales sugieren que el juego ya convenció a mucha gente que sí disfruta este tipo de dolor elegante. Si eres de esos, aquí hay oro. Si no, el Nilo te va a llevar… pero directo al botón de desinstalar. [h3]Recomendación de Compra (Recomendado para fans del género)[/h3] Puntuación Total: 7.0/10 Número de jugadores activos al momento de hacer esta review: 179 Descuento máximo registrado: -50% Veredicto: [i]Cómpralo si te encanta la construcción de ciudades con microgestión seria; evítalo si buscas algo relajado o “casual”.[/i] Si te emocionan los simuladores de administración donde cada decisión importa y la ciudad es una maquinaria, Pharaoh™: A New Era vale la pena por su ambientación, su loop económico y su enfoque exigente. Solo entra sabiendo que esto no es turismo por Egipto: es servicio civil con pirámides de fondo.
