Lead the people of ancient Egypt, as their pharaoh, uniting
them as you elevate your status, striving to become a supreme
and godlike ruler. Design and build glorious cities in which
hundreds of people live and work in an interconnected societal
web. Eventually you will forge the most advanced civilisation
of the ancient world, achieve works of wonder and build a
lasting and unique empire to stand for the ages with you as
its personification. You'll dispatch your armies and navies
to all corners of the known world, and erect monuments of
splendour, including your own magnificent tomb. Come, enter
your realm: the black land, Egypt...
Children
of the Nile is claimed to be the next generation of city-building
games. The knack to this game - or to be more specific, the
thing you'll spend most time doing - is deciding where and
how to construct your buildings.
While that sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry,
there is quite a skill to it, and it is exciting.
This
is a game where eventually hundreds of citizens, each with
their own individual free will and lives, affect your city-building
decisions and your ability to construct and rule an empire.
As the game unfolds you'll need to increase your empire and
build plenty of statues in your honour to ensure that your
name will be remembered for centuries after your death.
Unlike
other games in this genre you won't have to worry about trivial
things like money or defending yourself from a horde of trolls
(although there are military battles). All you need to do
is ensure that your subjects have enough food in their bellies
and they'll happily go about their business - producing items
in their shops to sell to the rest of the community and building
the structures that you have asked them to construct. Your
followers also fend for themselves - going out to the shops
without you having to lift a finger.
Most
Sim games can be frustrating - placing roads, buildings and
people is usually dependant on you having enough money or
room to place them. Children of the Nile does away
with a lot of these frustrating problems and makes for a much
more enjoyable gaming experience.
In
conclusion, this will appeal to those who love Sim games,
to anyone who is fascinated by Egyptian mythology, and those
that fancy something a little different.
