The Egyptian Prophecy: The Fate of Ramses Reviews

Pros: You'll get a highly detailed and interesting puzzle game. Cons: You most likely will have to fix the crashing problem by finding the config data inside your Steam File and change the bFullScreen=1 line to bFullScreen=0. You have to play in window mode then, but haven't seen any problems after that.

Not really recommended for technical issues, which is a pity. I remember playing this years ago, as one of the early DVD games, and it was quite entertaining to play. About the mentioned issues: the game keeps on crashing for the slightest problem: first I had to manually modify the config file so that the game could start windowed and not on full screen (a first reason why it kept crashing while clicking on "Player 1"). After that, I had to be extra careful anyway, because the crashes occurred also while trying to tab out and back in the game window, whenever I had a message to answer over Steam chat. Yes, Steam overlay doesn't work the slightest. tl;dr: This game as a tendency of being way too easy to crash and freeze at the most awkward time, and Steam overlay doesn't even work.

This game is great. Many puzzles that not too easy to solve are main part of a game and there are beautiful concept arts though this game is quite old. The soundtracks are mediocre but they are quite odd because they are egyptian style. I had a lot of fun because the story of this game is awesome. One problem that really annoying me is that there always blurring vision when there come to cutscenes in game, I don't recommended this game to anyone who had seizure or migraine and I mean it seriously but if you just skip it so it's ok to play through.

Won't even load the game, tried several "fixes" by modding the .ini file etc, changing compatibility mode blah blah blah but still wont launch!! fix your game!!!!!

Liked this adventure very much, back that time they new how to make really good games. Windows 10/64 everything works for me, the only thing I did was setting Compatibility mode to "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" for Egypt3.exe.

I admit it's my own fault but I hadn't noticed this was a 360degree game. So if you like me get really dizzy when playing such a game this is not for you. I also admit I have only played this game for half an hour but that was enough for me. Usually I like most point and click games I play but this I found really bad in the short time I struggled with dizziness. The charactors are kind of dead and you feel nothing at all for them. And the voices are also dead. I have played much older games that was much more inspiring than this and much better made. There is just no heart in it.

I have tried everything to get this title to actually launch without the dreaded windows encountered a problem message. Ran through all the compatability settings and ini tweaks etc and nothing seems to work. Some people have had success with the compat- workaround but it seems hit and miss. Sadly I cannot recommend this title for a purchase in it's current state.

Windows 11 user here. To avoid crashes to desktop simply go to the game folder, select Egypt3.exe, right click, click on Show more options, then Properties then go to Compatibility tab, and select Run in compatibility mode for Windows Vista. Press OK. Now double click on Egypt3.exe and you are good to go. No more crashes.

I'm not one to play Adventure games much; I'd like to play them more, but I often lack the patience. This game, however, kept me firmly firmly seated from start to finish, quite literally; before I'd realised it, I'd finished the whole game in one go. The puzzles may seem easy to someone who plays adventure games a lot, and do lack that element of obtuse adventure-game-developer-logic, but a few puzzles do require some actual knowledge of Egyptian mythology on the player's part. The ending does seem a little abrupt, and at 5 hours it may seem a little stumpy, but it keeps up a nice pace and doesn't wear out its welcome. The game doesn't look horrible for its age, and though the voice acting threw me a little at the beginning, you get used to it fairly easily. It's also nice to see that effort was made with name pronounciations, unlike most games that handle any names other than English. Definitely try it out if you're into Egypt-themed stuff; maybe if you're on the fence about adventure games, too. Also if you're looking for a game with some decent female characters - it's refreshing to play a game with a female protagonist, in which her gender isn't an issue.

The Egyptian Prophecy was originally released in 2004 and it shows. The animated video is a bit choppy, the gameplay is not smooth, overall it looks a bit fuzzy due to the low resolution of the graphics, and the conversation flow is a clunky. Just be prepared for all that. On the good side, it is a fairly enjoyable puzzler. The makers mixed in some real history and rituals into the game, so that is an added bonus. If you can get it on a sale, I think it would be worth picking up.
