Goblinz Publishing, renowned for titles like Overboss and Oaken, launches 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 in the Bronze Age. Read on for a closer look.

Blazing Fast Gameplay

Set amidst the landscapes of the Bronze Age Mediterranean and Europe, Ozymandias delivers a classic 4X experience—city building, army raising, and conquest—but with a crucial twist: streamlined speed. Unlike many 4X games that demand meticulous micromanagement of every resource, Ozymandias simplifies the process, delivering a fast-paced, engaging experience without endless fiddling.

With eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each possessing distinct traits impacting gameplay strategy, Ozymandias offers replayability and strategic depth. Multiple game modes, including solo, multiplayer, and asynchronous options, cater to various preferences. Games typically conclude within 90 minutes, making it ideal for a quick, satisfying strategy session. The simultaneous turn system further enhances the rapid pace. While this simplification might feel too basic for some, it's worth experiencing.

Ready to Conquer?

Available now on Android for $2.79 via the Google Play Store, Ozymandias, developed by The Secret Games Company using Unreal Engine 4, initially launched on Steam for PC in March 2022. Check out our coverage of another recent Android release: Smashero, a hack-and-slash RPG with Musou-style action.
