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 a fast-paced, streamlined experience focused on exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination. Read on for a closer look.
Lightning-Fast 4X Action
Set in the Bronze Age, Ozymandias lets you explore diverse Mediterranean and European civilizations. While retaining the core strategic elements of a classic 4X game—city building, army raising, and conquest—it distinguishes itself through its remarkably simplified and accelerated gameplay.
Unlike many 4X games that demand meticulous resource management, Ozymandias minimizes micromanagement. This focus on speed results in a truly rapid-fire experience.
With eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each boasting distinct characteristics, the game offers considerable replayability. Multiple game modes, including solo, multiplayer, and asynchronous options, cater to various preferences.
A typical game concludes within 90 minutes, making it ideal for a quick, board-game-length session. Simultaneous turns further enhance the brisk pace. However, this streamlined approach may also feel overly simplistic to some players. 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 using Unreal Engine 4, it initially launched on Steam for PC in March 2022.
