Goblinz Publishing, renowned for titles like Overboss and Oaken, has launched its latest Android game: Ozymandias. This 4X strategy game, reminiscent of the Civilization series, offers a streamlined experience focused on exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination. Read on to learn more.
Lightning-Fast Gameplay
Set in the Bronze Age, Ozymandias allows players to explore diverse Mediterranean and European civilizations. While retaining the core strategic elements of a classic 4X game—city building, army raising, and conquering opponents—it distinguishes itself through its remarkably fast and simplified gameplay.
Unlike many 4X games that demand meticulous resource management, Ozymandias streamlines this aspect. Forget endless micromanagement; this game prioritizes speed and efficiency.
With eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each possessing distinct traits, players must adapt their strategies for optimal success. Multiple game modes are available, including solo, multiplayer, and asynchronous options.
A typical match concludes within approximately 90 minutes, making it comparable to a board game session. Simultaneous turns further accelerate the pace. While this simplification might appeal to some, others may find the experience too simplistic. See for yourself!
Ready to Conquer?
Ozymandias is available now on Android via the Google Play Store for $2.79. Developed by The Secret Games Company and powered by Unreal Engine 4, it initially launched on Steam for PC in March 2022.
