Goblinz Publishing, renowned for titles like Overboss and Oaken, has launched a new Android game: Ozymandias. This 4X strategy game, reminiscent of the Civilization series, offers exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination. Read on for a closer look.
Blazing Speed!
Set in the Bronze Age, Ozymandias lets you explore diverse Mediterranean and European civilizations. While retaining the strategic depth of a classic 4X game—city building, army raising, and conquering opponents—its streamlined design sets it apart. Forget endless micromanagement; this game is remarkably fast-paced and simplified.
Unlike many 4X games that demand meticulous resource control, Ozymandias streamlines the process. The focus is on swift gameplay, eliminating tedious detail management.
With eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each boasting distinctive traits, Ozymandias encourages diverse playstyles. Multiple game modes are available: multiplayer, solo, and asynchronous.
A typical match concludes within 90 minutes, resembling a board game session in length. Simultaneous turns further enhance the rapid pace. However, this simplification might be a drawback for some players seeking greater complexity. Intrigued? Check out the trailer!
Will You Conquer Ozymandias?
Available now on Android via the Google Play Store for $2.79, Ozymandias was developed by The Secret Games Company using Unreal Engine 4. The PC version launched on Steam in March 2022.
