Goblinz Publishing, renowned for titles like Overboss and Oaken, has launched its latest Android offering: Ozymandias. This 4X strategy game, reminiscent of the Civilization series, challenges players to explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate their way to dominance. Let's delve into what makes this game stand out.
Blazing Fast Gameplay
Set in the Bronze Age, Ozymandias invites you to explore diverse ancient Mediterranean and European civilizations. While delivering the strategic depth expected from a 4X game—city building, army raising, and conquering rivals—it distinguishes itself with its streamlined, rapid-paced gameplay.
Unlike many 4X games that demand meticulous resource management, Ozymandias simplifies the process, eliminating endless micromanagement. This results in remarkably fast matches.
The game features eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each boasting distinct characteristics that demand adaptable strategies. Multiple game modes are available, including solo, multiplayer, and asynchronous options.
A typical match concludes within 90 minutes, akin to a board game session. The simultaneous turn system further accelerates gameplay. While this simplification might be perceived as overly simplistic by some, it's a key element of the game's unique appeal. 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.
