Intro Predynastic Egypt by Russian Indie Developer Clarus Victoria Is a small but fine strategy/Build-up game. The Player experiences the History of Egypt Long before the Time of the Pyramids, from the Time when they were still a Nomadic People and settled. Content The Game plays a little like a board or Card Game. One spends time weighing how to use one's Citizens in the intended Slots, much like the Citizens in The City menu from Civilization, except that it is more complex here. In this Way you can explore, procure Food, do Production, research, fight, act, etc. Research into New Technologies, can build new Facilities, increase the Population (which, of course, also require more Food). The whole thing runs into Rounds. The Player learns a lot about the Story. Verdict Why I like this Game: The painted Graphic style in the Egyptian Setting (no mobile comic look) very easy Entry, you immediately get right the Game is simple in itself, but the Level of difficulty is appropriate and demanding and exciting interesting Backgrounds about the History of beautiful Egyptian Theme music The typical build-up optimization spiral takes hold here: Grow, conquer, research, optimize Beautiful UI which is strongly reminiscent of Civ5. What I would have liked to have had: Unfortunately, it doesn't have a high Replay value. You'd like to play it again immediately, but it just sticks to the Story, which unfortunately doesn't offer much Variety (despite different levels of Difficulty and some Random Events). With Random Maps (History back or forth) the Game WOULD have VIEL potential, but even so it is a small beautiful indie game that can inspire for its few Hours. I would buy it again. I totally had to gamble On Bock Pharaoh Afterwards, precisely because it actually ties in right after that ... ^^

Are You able to form a mighty city In this turn-based Strategy game from Hierakonpolis, unite pre-dynastic Egypt and lead it to the Threshold of the Old Kingdom? Smart worker placement and thoughtful Resource Management are the key To Success; You can also improve the City with numerous Buildings and explore various Technologies. Although this Development is a particularly important Part of the Game internally, one must also deal with the dear Neighbors and "convince" them warlike or diplomatically. And if everything threatens to go wrong, you can still raise your Hands to Heaven and ask the Gods for Assistance, who then help intervene. Thanks to the intensive Collaboration with Historians, Predynastic Egypt is historically not only particularly well researched, but also allows the Player to experience Ancient Egypt in a way for a few Hours (a suitable Graphic and lovingly selected Soundtracks reinforce this Impression): As Ruler, you face crucial Challenges of the World of life at that time and you have to find the right answer – this may not always be easy, sometimes you fail in certain Exams in the first Attempts. But Every Challenge will certainly find the right Response:-) It is precisely this close Attachment to the historical Development that makes up the special Character of this Game: It is the pure Opposite of a Sandboxing Game, but follows as a linear Game a strong Scriptum. For example, the Tests are always the same, and actually there is usually only one really perfect Solution. Compared to the more liberal Successor game "Egypt: Old Kingdom," this ensures a little less Replay value. Since the Exams at the higher Difficulty Levels are quite more Demanding, the Game still offers a lot of motivation to increase your Own Score and to crack this Or that achievement. Overall, I highly recommend this Game to anyone who appreciates an extremely Lovingly implemented strategy game with a Thematic focus and would like to take a Journey Back in Time to Ancient Egypt for a few Hours.
