Pharaoh: A New Era PC Keyboard Controls and Shortcuts - Magic Game World

Pharaoh: A New Era PC Keyboard Controls and Shortcuts

1

Ah, Ancient Egypt. The marvels that were constructed hundreds of years ago in this place are still marvels of engineering, and they did not even have all of the tools and machines that we have today. The Ancient Egyptians had true ingenuity, and were incredibly skilled in a number of different ways.

 

Now, I am not saying that I would personally like to live in Ancient Egyptian times (I enjoy air conditioning too much), but I do definitely appreciate the philosophy, mythology, and feats of engineering of this time period. Thankfully, all of these things can be experienced from the comfort of your own home thanks to Triskell Interactive’s Pharaoh: A New Era.

 

This city-building/management simulator remake puts players in the role of a Pharaoh, and tasks them with establishing one of the greatest civilizations the world has ever known. Through fifty missions that can total in more than one hundred hours of gameplay, players will cultivate lands along the Nile, build iconic monuments, and manage a growing populace.

 

There’s a lot to do, and a ton of responsibility, so you’re going to want to make sure every move you make is the right one. There’s nothing worse than pressing the wrong key or clicking the wrong icon and then spending the next hour fixing the mistake you made. Thankfully you can know what every button does at all times with this Pharaoh: A New Era keyboard controls & shortcuts guide. Keep it open while you play for quick reference!

I have the original game and its expansion pack in my collection of games. However, I am thrilled they have made it into something worthy of today’s graphics. I have come to prefer this version over the original one and will keep playing this one over and over. It’s kinda tricky without having a chart of the keyboard commands, but once you have that chart (in case you need it) it’s pretty easy to play. Just wish that there were more than only fifty missions…
