A casual strategy that introduces enjoyable gameplay and the history of Egypt in a fairly simple form. It is recommended for mastering both for fans of this genre and hardcore players, since you can customize many parameters that can greatly complicate the life of ancient people.

Казуальная стратегия которая знакомит с приятным геймплеем и с историей Египта в достаточно простой форме. Рекомендована для освоения как для любителей этого жанра так и хардкорных игроков, благо настраивать под себя множество параметров, которые могут сильно усложнить жизнь древних людишек.

Egypt: Old Kingdom is a strategy game reminiscent of the Civilization series but with a more straightforward approach. Its simpler gameplay mechanics make it accessible, but once you scratch the surface you'll see that it doesn't have that depth.

While it lacks the complexity of Civilization, this game shines in its educational value. It offers an interesting journey through the most relevant ancient Egypt events, making it a treasure trove for enthusiasts of Egyptology and ancient history. The historical authenticity in portraying the era adds an immersive educational layer.

The unbalanced mechanics can lead to a repetitive and less challenging experience. It's easy to discover how to exploit the game and gather an absurd amount of resources, making the challenges trivial and non-interesting. Also, the user interface can be confusing from time to time, and it's hard to know what the outcome of some of your actions will be.

It's a great pick for those interested in ancient Egypt and those looking for a straightforward strategy, turn-based game. Despite its flaws, the game offers a unique blend of education and entertainment, and I would recommend it for a cheap price.
