Superfast Strategy Sim Ozymandias Debuts

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 streamlined experience focused on exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination. Let's delve into the details.

Blazing Fast Gameplay

Set in the Bronze Age, Ozymandias features detailed 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 resource management, Ozymandias streamlines these aspects. Micromanagement is minimized, allowing for a rapid-paced experience.

The game boasts eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each with distinct characteristics that influence gameplay strategy. Multiple game modes are available, including multiplayer, solo, and asynchronous options.

A typical match concludes within approximately 90 minutes, making it ideal for a quick gaming session similar to a board game. Simultaneous turns further enhance the game's swift pace, although this simplification might be perceived as a drawback by some players. Intrigued? Check out the trailer!

Ozymandias is available now 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.
