Goblinz Publishing, known for hits like Overboss and Oaken, has unleashed its latest creation onto Android: Ozymandias. This 4X strategy game, reminiscent of the Civilization series, challenges you to explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate your way to dominance in the Bronze Age. Let's delve into what makes it stand out.
Blazing Fast Bronze Age Battles
Ozymandias transports you to the ancient Mediterranean and European civilizations of the Bronze Age. It delivers the strategic depth of a classic 4X game—city building, army raising, and conquering rivals—but with a crucial twist: unparalleled speed and streamlined gameplay.
Unlike many 4X games that can bog you down in micromanagement, Ozymandias elegantly simplifies the experience. Say goodbye to endless resource tweaking and hello to rapid-fire strategic decisions. The focus is on fast-paced, engaging gameplay.
Eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each with its own distinct characteristics, provide a wealth of strategic variety and replayability. Multiple game modes, including solo, multiplayer, and asynchronous options, cater to different playstyles.
A typical match clocks in around 90 minutes, making it perfect for a quick, satisfying gaming session. Simultaneous turns further accelerate the pace, ensuring the action never stalls. While this streamlined approach might feel simplistic to some, it's precisely this brisk pace that sets Ozymandias apart.
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.
