Deal | With 91% positive reviews, this turn-based strategy game is under $3 on Steam

Predynastic Egypt is an indie turn-based strategy game developed and published by Clarus Victoria. As a player, you must guide your people to establish the first Egyptian state.

As its name suggests, it takes place during the Predynastic Period, between 5000 and 3000 BC. The game's map also recreates the landscape of that era, featuring savannas and rivers.

Your goal will be to develop your tribe and expand your territory. Build structures such as houses and temples, and research 48 historically accurate technologies. Exploration is also at the heart of the gameplay, allowing you to unlock new areas and resources.

However, danger is everywhere. Disease, war, drought, and internal conflicts can hinder your progress. Thus, every choice you make will have consequences, and you can either rewrite the course of history or fall into oblivion.

Released on October 10, 2016, Predynastic Egypt is rated "Very Positive" on Steam, with 91% positive reviews out of 1,937. Many players find it easy to learn but difficult to master. The historical setting is appreciated, as is the user interface. Gamepressure notes: "Simple two-dimensional visuals of Predynastic Egypt can be liked for their clear design - the same applies to the catchy soundtrack."

However, the game's randomness is sometimes criticized. Many players feel that there is only one strategy to win, and its replay value seems limited. Furthermore, it is a short game. According to HowLongToBeat, it takes between 3 and 4 hours to complete the main story.

Currently, Predynastic Egypt is 75% off, bringing its price down from $9.99 to $2.49. But according to SteamDB, this offer will end on November 19, 2026.
