Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of Fate of the Pharaoh from Cateia Games. In the time management game players take the role of a new Pharaoh trying to rebuild the Egyptian empire after an unnamed enemy has destroyed it.

Here's an excerpt:

Time Management games follow a similar pattern (otherwise we couldn’t have a category for them). There’s an opening scenario to set the stage for all to come, you have to collect different resources and you use those resources to build things. The game is divided into a number of rounds with each round adding additional layers of complexity or time pressure to succeed in your goal. Each game tries to add something different to the gameplay, either in how you collect things, your goals, the scenario, or some other facet of this basically identical gameplay.

Fate of the Pharaoh falls squarely within this genre and method. In it, you are a new Pharaoh trying to rebuild the Egyptian empire after an unnamed enemy has destroyed it. You’ve defeated the enemy, but now must rebuild. And there are aliens (Don’t ask me, it wasn’t my idea).
