Welcome to the Nile valley! This is a mobile farm simulator created by outstanding game development company Stepico Games, where players are tasked with helping Amisi and Asibo deal with tricky situations during their family farm adventures. The game will have players explore the wild territories of ancient Egypt along with the young married couple. Players will also have to find the best farmland to seed and harvest to eventually build a strong and prosperous farm and Village.
On the one hand, in the contrasting atmosphere of the hot desert and the cool shade of date palms, the development of a farm made of healthy grains and sweet fruits. On the other hand — the advancement of the plot, the disclosure of the secrets of Ancient Egypt, capricious gods, and cunning merchants leading caravans from neighboring countries.

Final Words
Nile Valley provides players with an entertaining gameplay style with several elements commonly seen in many farming simulators. However, the game is also filled with several other additions, which saves it from being just another farming game.
Features like the inclusion of mini-games at farms and other locations provide a diverse experience to players and help in making the game unique.
However, the main feature that appears to make it a standout from the rest is undoubtedly the presence of an ancient Egyptian setting. Adding ancient characters into the game is another inclusion that enhances its historical aspects. The past stories told by these characters will be a welcome feature for lovers of history. It will also provide gamers with insights into the history of Egypt.
Nile valley is a fun game that perfectly combines entertainment with history.
