Children of the Nile: Enhanced Edition

A wonderful & old, but very chill game, sadly abandoned and in desperate need of a remake or a remaster. By 2025 standards, the graphics are obviously not great, and pathfinding is buggy. Gameplay is neat, but the technical experience is not fun (graphical glitches, performance issues, etc). You're sort of rolling the dice if you're buying it, but if it works for you, and you're into city builders, you're probably going to enjoy it.

If the devs make a modern reboot, my guess is I'd probably be a hit.

One of the most beutiful and original games I ever played, not like those grecoroman minions u have in the thousands.

A very well-made city simulation game.
Like all other city simulation game, It has a lot of resources and game mechanic that one need to learn, which can be a bit challenging considering how the game immediately pushes all to you. Thankfully, the tutorial helps and the guidebook provided within the game also proves to be very helpful.
Additionally, the Egyptian aesthetic is extremely beautiful and rich in culture, providing one a very good start in learning the Ancient Egyptian civilization, culture, and how they life.

If you love city-building games, you should try out this game. If you love Ancient Egyptian culture, this is definitely worth checking out too.

I played this badly as a kid and picked it up for funsies as an adult. Really needs a fast forward button but a cute little city builder that is great as a half-afk kind of game.

Absolutely amazing city builder game. A bit dated on graphics and game-play, but if you're looking for something to just play and relax to, the ambience of this game is a fantastic go to.

Children of the Nile: Enhanced Edition is your standard city builder with plenty of scenarios to test the player's ability to adapt to given environments along with events that range from predictable to unpredictable. With how much information is available to players within the tutorial stages and information boxes for every clickable NPC, structure, and cartographic symbol on the world map, the game is readily learnable for those versed and those unversed in its genre. Technically speaking, there are noticeable errors in how graphics clip through each other and how unreasonably seamful it is to place structures diagonally, the product will overall operate function as intended with only a few of its aspects demonstrating its datedness.

If you like city building games this is a good one. Unlike so many I have played going to war is optional in this game but it still has its challenges.

classic and relaxing

2024 checking in. I absolutely love this game and recently went back for some old school pyramid building. Unfortunately nowadays this game crashes every time I try to load ANY developed map and often when sending troops. Boo! Great in its day; sadly I must now advise finding something else.

What a buggy mess.

I'm in shock, that Titled Mill would release such a buggy and cheap game.

Your peeps, will:

Cannot shop at shops right next to them
Complain about no food, bakery right next door
Complain about no healthcare, right next door
Complain about no gods, right next door.

Overseers will go look at a quarry all day, while laborers refuse to cross any body of water.
Overseers are so broken, it's not even funny. 9 times of out 10, they won't even do what they are instructed to do.

I tell them, mine gold gens stone whatever....they do stand in front of it all day, then walk back home.

Fix it.
