Heavy is the head that wears the... thing pharaohs wore.
Those of us of a certain age—or with a certain impeccable taste—will be interested to hear thathas finally gotten a release date. A remake of Sierra's 1999 city-builder Pharaoh , the game promises a slick and prettied-up new version of the old classic when it releases on February 15.
The remake boasts over 50 playable missions, 100 hours of gameplay, and 4000 years of Egyptian history, alongside all the usual bells and whistles like 4K resolutions and a UI parseable by mortal eyes. The devs at Triskell have even taken the original soundtrack and rearranged it with"traditional oriental instruments".
for PCG, she remarked that"Quaint and lovely though it looks, when you shove the lid off the game’s sarcophagus, you’ll find it has a nastier streak than Imhotep," ready to"devour your time and stretch your patience to breaking point". Sign me up. For those without a masochistic streak, though, there's a free build mode, and the option to turn off predators and other unpleasant things that might hamper your empire-building. A bit more relaxing, but I reckon it lacks the frisson generated by the constant threat of your city catching fire.
