Cradle of Empires

About Cradle of Empires

Cradle of Empires is a casual match 3 game that weaves together puzzle-solving and city-building into a single adventure set in Ancient Egypt. The story follows the decline of a great city, and the player's task is to uncover what happened, collect Egyptian jewels, and piece together fragments of an ancient civilization. Along the way, new characters appear, fresh chapters of the story unlock, and a once-fallen city gradually rises again.

One scene shows a stone sphinx statue wearing a golden and blue headdress, seated on a raised platform encircled by a glowing golden ring. Another illustration depicts a blue-skinned genie with a single black ponytail holding a golden lamp amid heaps of gold coins. A separate view shows sand-colored pyramids rising in the background behind small structures including an arena, a forge, and a stone archway.
