Egypt has supplied the inspiration for several mobile games, some ace (Pyramid Bloxx, Luxor 2) and some not quite so ace (Asterix and Cleopatra).

Hopefully The Egyptians will fall into the former category. It's the new mobile game from HandyGames and is a strategy title that sees you defending Ancient Egypt (known as Brand New Egypt at the time, presumably) from armies of mythical monsters.

The game has 25 levels to strategise your way through, constructing buildings, beating up bosses, and calling on 12 gods for special abilities.

It sounds like there are elements of strategy classic Civilization in there, too, with a 'tech-tree' that gives access to new buildings to construct.

Meanwhile, there's three types of landscape to build on, and a choice of Campaign, Domination and Open-End modes to keep your interest up.

It's looking good. Point and click 'Track It!' for an alert when we review it.
