GoblinzPublishing, renowned for titles like Overboss and Oaken, has just released a new game on Android called Ozymandias. This 4X game, inspired by the Civilization series, lets you dive into the strategic world of exploring, expanding, exploiting, and exterminating. Let's delve deeper into what Ozymandias has to offer.
It’s Superfast!
Set in the Bronze Age, Ozymandias allows you to explore ancient Mediterranean and European civilizations. It retains the core strategy of a traditional 4X game, where you build cities, raise armies, and conquer your enemies. However, Ozymandias stands out with its streamlined approach. Unlike other games in the genre that can overwhelm you with intricate details and endless micromanagement, Ozymandias keeps things simple and fast-paced.
With eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each with its own distinct characteristics, you'll need to adapt your strategy based on the empire you choose. The game offers various modes including multiplayer, solo, and asynchronous play. A single match wraps up in about 90 minutes—akin to a board game session—thanks to the simultaneous turns that keep the gameplay brisk. This simplicity, while making the game accessible, might leave some players wanting more depth.
