WTMG's Leo Faria: "Pharaoh: A New Era doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to city builders. As a straightforward remake of a 1999 game, it did gain a much better UI and faster gameplay, but it’s still a slow-paced experience focused on micromanagement and logistics. Only a specific niche of city building fans will really get a kick out of this game, but it’s still one worth checking out if you’re into strategic titles which reward patience and long-term planning."
Pharaoh: A New Era feels like a totally modern real-time strategy game, while capturing the spirit of the 1990s original.
Ron from NoobFeed writes - Pharaoh: A New Era does fair justice to its original while also satisfying players' expectations. In case you haven't heard it before, A New Era is the best way to get acquainted with a true classic. There’s a lot of fun to have with this game, and you'll be challenged to think outside the box as you try to figure out how to progress.
