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 fast-paced experience focused on exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination. Read on to learn more.
Set in the Bronze Age, Ozymandias allows players to explore diverse Mediterranean and European civilizations. While retaining the strategic core of a classic 4X game—city building, army raising, and conquering rivals—its streamlined mechanics set it apart. Forget endless micromanagement; Ozymandias prioritizes speed and simplicity.
Unlike many 4X games that demand meticulous resource control, Ozymandias simplifies this aspect. Its rapid gameplay and reduced complexity make for a refreshingly brisk experience. With eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each possessing distinct characteristics, players must adapt their strategies accordingly. Multiple game modes, including solo, multiplayer, and asynchronous options, cater to various preferences.
A typical match concludes within 90 minutes, making it ideal for a quick gaming session akin to a board game. Simultaneous turns further accelerate the pace. This streamlined approach, however, might be perceived by some as overly simplistic. Intrigued? Watch the trailer below!
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.
