Wow there are people actually working on games like these these days? Pleasant surprise this one.

 

[Teslerum]

Pharaoh was a great game. Spent 100 of hours on it as a kid.

 

[LeftThumbstick]

NO FUCKING WAY.

Im so god damn happy about his, my favourite game ever. This game taught me how it was to be frustrated with a game and how to punch my monitors haha.

i cant wait.

 

[JimmyRustler]

It's been a while since my heart jumped after I saw an announcement.

HOLY SHIT !!

Thank you dear lord. More excited for this than for Next Gen consoles (dead srs).

 

[Teslerum]

I do wonder if we'll see a remaster of the Ceasar series as well.

 

[Kadve]

Wonder how it will stack up against it's unofficial sequel: Children of The Nile.

 

[Chupanibre]

I can't even count the number of hours I spent playing Caesar, Pharoah and Zeus. Probably in the thousands.

I'm grabbing this day one.

 

[sackings]

holy shit, cant wait. These games are incredible. Hopefully we see Caesar, Zeus, and Emperor remakes as well

 

[Codswallop_]

This is great, loved this and the Caeser series back in the day. Recently been getting back into this era of gaming, with Heroes 3, Rise of Nations, Age of Empires 1/2, Age of Mythology. It all still stands up.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Very cool!

 

[V4skunk]

Looks good.
I hope we get a new modern take on the series though.

 

[Tschumi]

I adore these games, in my mind though Emperor is the best, followed by the classic Caesar 3.. still, any Impressions city builder is a win for me <3

My plan was actually to make a game like a spiritual remake of this very game. Partly because of that reason, you dont see them anymore. After seeing this, i def think i'm going to go for it but with a more modern feel to it (modern as in modern gameplay ect, not necessarily the style).

Pharaoh a new Era Demo is available on Steam
Here's some gameplay.

 

[Kadve]

Just tried it out and honestly. I don't like it.

They completely changed the interface for seemingly no reason and for the worse in my mind. And the "Cellshaded" graphics just looks cheap. like if it was a generic mobile game (reminds me of settlers when i think about it).

Yes, i have the same impression sadly...

Really? I think i'm gonna just install my copy of the original on Steam. Atmosphere wise Pharaoh still holds up today.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I didn’t know about this. Definitely getting it

 

[Kadve]

Yea i honestly don't understand why companies think HD-pixel artwork = Anti-aliasing. it honestly doesn't look good, just out of focus/smeared

The "HD" edition of HOMM3 had the same problem as an example.

 

[SeraphJan]

This a game actually got a sequel? Nice!

 

[Bladed Thesis]

I did a whole playthrough about six months ago.

Stil easily holds up and is great fun. Caesar 3 too.

Take a deep dive into what makes Pharaoh: A New Era gameplay so unique and beautiful.

Set in Egypt, Pharaoh is an unique city builder with many unique features and mechanics that make it one of the most beloved games of the genre. Its 53 missions will give you a unique opportunity to relive historical moments of the Egyptian empire, each one bringing new challenges and making you not just build cities, but solve puzzles too.

Pharaoh: A New Era will be released on Feb. 15 on PC.

 

[Tams]

yes, Yes, YEs, YES, やった!

 

[amigastar]

Tomorrow it releases. Can't wait.

 

[Dazraell]

One of the few games I've spent tons of time when I was a kid. Looking forward to revisit it

 

[TintoConCasera]

From nice, timeless pixel art to soulless flash game "HD" graphics. Nice work.

 

[Kadve]

Any words about QOL improvements? Can you use land trade in larger cities and do the bazzar traders actually get new stock reliably now?

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Full remake of genre-defining classic city builder Pharaoh: A New Era is now available on PC and begins its rule with a 15% launch discount lasting until February 28th.

In this new trailer, see how Pharaoh: A New Era’s gorgeous visuals bring four millennia of Egyptian history to life across more than 50 rewarding missions in the new video.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Can anyone please post impressions? I'd love to play meself but I'm on work trip until the end of March and would love to know how this Remake turned out. The original is on my favourite games ever.

 

[AlteredForms]

I was planning on purchasing a boxed copy of this game many years ago due to the beautiful artwork. I will be wishlisting this and picking it up at a later date as I love the Ancient Egypt setting and the different missions you're able to embark upon.

 

[Fuz]

Amazing game, I'm gonna hikikomori the shit out of this remaster if done well.

 

[Bond007]

Love this game so much. Played so so much- countless hours spent.
I can still hear the music.
