- Source: Pharaoh: A New Era
Pharaoh: A New Era is a city-building video game designed by Triskell Interactive and published by Dotemu. It is a remake of Pharaoh (1999).
Gameplay
Players build a city in ancient Egypt. As a remake, the game closely follows the original. The graphics are updated, and players can zoom in to view them up close. Normally, recruiters go house to house looking for unemployed people to assign to jobs. A New Era can optionally bypass recruiters and recruit workers from a global pool, like in Zeus: Master of Olympus. A New Era also tracks the Nile's flood season.
Development
After Triskell Interactive pitched a city-building game to Dotemu, Dotemu asked them if they would be interested in remaking another city-building game instead. Triskell chose Pharaoh, and Dotemu licensed it from Activision. Dotemu released Pharaoh: A New Era on February 15, 2023.
Reception
Pharaoh: A New Era received positive reviews on Metacritic. Rock Paper Shotgun said that although it lacks some of the complexity of modern games, it is "the definitive version of a stone-cold classic". NPR encountered several bugs and thought the new graphics looked too much like a mobile game, but they said it "is still a rewarding city-builder". Gamepressure said the remake is "a splendid opportunity to rediscover this timeless classic", though they found some of the user interface elements to need improvement. Shacknews felt some of the gameplay was archaic but overall called it "an excellent spin on a classic".
