    The game also suffers from a myriad of bugs affecting trade, storage, clarity, population management and other little things that you only start to notice over time. [Issue#326]

    A true classic that returns to show us how great the old city builders games were. [Recommended]

    Has the world moved on from Pharaoh? You bet your dynastic ass. It doesn't have the complex AI interactions of storybuilders like RimWorld, you don't have loads of different advisors relaying tensions around the city, or worries about public utilities in the same way as a Cities Skylines, and it's probably not as inventive in some ways as the new class of city builders like Timberborn, Foundation or The Wandering Village. In 2023 any kind of Pharaoh, even one with an impressively rebuilt tomb, is still a very well preserved old king. But what a king it was, and A New Era preserves it very well. How can you not feel a bit magic building a giant statue of a cat in the middle of your desert city?

For the most part i love what theyve done here, even the bold changes that differ from the original. The excessive pop ups is currently ruining my experience, so hopefully they fix that. Many people report a lot of bugs abd corrupted saved files. Best is probably waiting some months before you buy.… Full Review »

There's no progress until you delete and rebuild it again.

    Useful features such as pausing selected industries, the mini-map, and the option to choose pop-up messages have been removed.

    I will stop playing for a while, hope these are being fixed and patches are on the way.    … Full Review »
