Egypt: Secret of five Gods

Egypt: Secret of five Gods is a strategy / time management game. Your goal is to rebuild Egypt after it has been destroyed by a sandstorm. Usually games of this type don't have a compelling storyline, and rely mostly on gameplay. This game, however offers both good gameplay and a pretty good storyline.

The game starts off by telling the story through a number of cut-scenes, which are very neatly designed. After that you can select a mission and begin the first level. There is no dedicated tutorial to teach you all the features at once. Instead, every new thing you will encounter on a level will be explained first. This basically means that the first few levels will act as a general tutorial, and after that you'll only get explanations when something new is introduced. There are no difficulty levels, but the stages do get progressively more difficult. Also there is a system that rewards you with achievements if you complete a level under a certain time.

The gameplay is very interesting and a lot of fun. Each level has a certain objective and of course there are a lot of obstacles that are meant to slow you down. You begin with a number of workers that can gather resources and smash through some obstacles. Only one worker can be used at one time on a specific action. Actions like destroying obstacles, building or fighting bandits require resources. Basically this means that you have to balance gathering resources with destroying obstacles and so on. more
