Goblinz Publishing, renowned for titles like Overboss and Oaken, has launched its latest Android offering: Ozymandias, a streamlined 4X strategy game reminiscent of the Civilization series. This fast-paced experience emphasizes exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination. Let's delve into the details.
Blazing Speed
Set in the Bronze Age, Ozymandias invites 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 simplified and accelerated gameplay.
Unlike many 4X games that demand meticulous micromanagement of every resource, Ozymandias streamlines the process. Forget endless, tedious details; this game prioritizes speed and efficiency.
With eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each possessing distinct characteristics, players must adapt their strategies to conquer. Multiple game modes, including multiplayer, solo, and asynchronous options, cater to various preferences. A typical match concludes within approximately 90 minutes, making it ideal for a quick gaming session. Simultaneous turns further enhance the game's rapid pace. However, this simplification might prove too simplistic for some players. Intrigued? Watch the trailer below!
Ready to Conquer?
Ozymandias is now available 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.
