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!

Reviews
A remake made with respect for the original It is incredible to play Pharaoh on modern monitors without struggling with old resolutions. What I liked: Nostalgia: It captures the exact feeling from 1999, but smoother. Graphics: The hand-drawn 2D art style is absolutely superb in 4K. Quality of Life: The employment mechanics (Global Labor Pool) are optional, but they make life much easier if you don't want extreme micro-management. Soundtrack: Superbly reorchestrated. What could be better: The combat system is a bit simplified compared to the original, but it doesn't bother me (the building aspect is the core). Conclusion: If you like historical city-builders, this is the father of them all. Worth every penny.
Same feeling as back then. Just works great on a larger monitor.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

nostalgic, i wished for something new, but still ok
It's like the classic game but with many improvements, get the unofficial patch from discord, go to nexus mods to get the file and the discord.
On retrouve pour les nostalgiques, de caesar3, Pharaon etc.. la beauté des jeux et toutes les subtilités qui m'enthousiasme et promets des nombreuses heures de jeu en perspective.. Merci!!
Bon tout le monde l'a déjà dit mais pourquoi ça semble être entièrement fait sous Paint et que j'ai l'impression de tomber sur un jeu facebook des années 2000 ???? C'est très moche et très assisté comparé à son prédécésseur que je possède toujours et qui ressort bien mieux. Je ne vois vraiment pas la raison de vendre un produit à peine modifié et plus moche à un prix aussi excessif. Même l'interface est peu pratique et moche, c'est triste j'imaginerai que ça a été fait pour un petit jeu sur tel portable. Il y a vraiment un publique pour des jeux qui ont un downgrade évident ?! ça coupe le serieux et la beauté du coup je ne peux pas valider ça ! même en l'ayant payé 2 € je préfère galèrer avec la compatibilité de l'ancien. j'ai voulu pousser mais non plein de choses ne marchent pas, le systeme de combat est neuneu même une vraie purge. "On ne peut plus tuer les animaux aggressifs supprimant les constructions autour ils se baladent en ville et assassinent aléatoirement" les murs de protection et tours sont purement décoratives. Les recrues ne traversent pas en barque il faut poser les batiments sur le même coté de rivière je ne sais pas pourquoi et pareil pour les routes terrestres des autres villes ça aurait du être une chose à modifier justement pour les embarcadères. C'est vraiment un foutage de gueule et une escroquerie...

Entretenido si te gusta construir y los desafíos que supone ir avanzando en la historia.

I absolutely loved the original it was a childhood favorite of mine. This game is almost exactly the same except for some updated graphics and additions. The art is stellar. 10/10 I DO have some complaints however... there are bugs. Sometimes the guys cannot reach your pyramid for some reason. Sometimes the saves are faulty, etc. Festivals are not planned sometimes despite clicking it. Nothing too major but annoying. Please fix these devs! Despite all of these, I would still recommend these amazing games.
