Welcome to Total War: Pharaoh on the TWC Wiki
Released released in October 2023, this title focuses on the turbulent days of ancient Egypt, set in the late bronze age much like the thematically similar Total War Saga: Troy.
Overview
Total War: Pharaoh is described on Steam:
- "In Total War: PHARAOH, the newest entry in the award-winning grand strategy series, immerse yourself in ancient Egypt at the zenith of its power and experience the dramatic events that threaten its destruction. With dynamic real-time battles and incredible turn-based empire management, can you rise above your adversaries to become Egypt’s last great Pharaoh and stand against the collapse of an iconic civilisation?"
The game takes a more narrow approach to the campaign than previous games, focusing on the immediate area of Egypt and the territories it expanded to in its zenith. The scale of the map is smaller than most mainline titles and players experienced with Troy report many similar aspects from interface design to the overall feel of the game, however unlike its immediate historical predecessors it moves away from mythology and goes back to a more strictly historically authentic design. Factions are based around characters rather than fully organized states, with each faction vying for political and military influence. While building in power the player can take part in a side game to acquire political office.
Pharaoh launched with both praise and criticism, beginning with mixed reviews. Critics point to lacking innovation and underwhelming content for a full price flagship entry to the series. Some speculate that Pharaoh was a Troy DLC campaign or Saga sequel that was branded into a full title.
- I'm all ears if there's something more positive to lace into the above, I've heard much more criticism than praise so I can give you the former, not so much the latter...
