Egypt: Old Kingdom

Egypt: Old Kingdom is a historical kingdom-building game set in Memphis from 3500 to 2140 B.C., during the first six dynasties of pharaohs. You play as an incarnation of Horus, working alongside the pharaohs to unify Lower and Upper Egypt and build a prosperous kingdom while opposing Seth, who unleashes disasters on the land.

Lead the kingdom

You win wars, overcome crises, discover technologies, worship the gods and conquer neighboring tribes. You address the needs of farmers and craftsmen and make political decisions that shape the kingdom’s future. Challenges and events come in different scales, and you work to establish a stable economy before the kingdom faces the havoc of the First Intermediate Period.

Build the pyramids

You lead the construction of the Great Pyramids, choosing their designs and materials. Building them requires tremendous investment, but is described as the only way to maintain peace and order in the country.

Explore ancient lands

You exploit new lands, send expeditions to different places and encounter different cultures. Exploring your surroundings offers opportunities to expand Egypt’s borders.

What sets it apart

Compared with Predynastic Egypt, the game offers greater variety, varied tasks across regions, different tactics for each playthrough and unique bonuses from patron gods. Egypt: Old Kingdom is longer and uses a 3D engine and skeletal animation.
