Ozymandias: Lightning-Fast 4X Triumphs from Oaken

Goblinz Publishing, renowned for titles like Overboss and Oaken, has launched its latest creation, Ozymandias, on Android. This 4X strategy game, reminiscent of the Civilization series, offers players a fast-paced experience focused on exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination. Let's delve into what makes it stand out.

Blazing Speed:

Set in the Bronze Age, Ozymandias lets you explore diverse Mediterranean and European civilizations. While retaining the strategic core of a classic 4X game—city building, army raising, and conquering rivals—it streamlines the experience. Forget endless micromanagement; Ozymandias prioritizes speed and simplicity.

Unlike many 4X games that burden players with intricate resource management, this title significantly reduces complexity. This results in remarkably quick gameplay.

With eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each possessing distinct characteristics, players must adapt their strategies. Multiple game modes are available, including solo, multiplayer, and asynchronous options.

A typical match concludes within 90 minutes, making it ideal for a quick gaming session akin to a board game. Simultaneous turns further accelerate the pace, though this simplification might be considered excessive by some. Intrigued? Check out the trailer below.

Ready to Conquer?

Available now on Android via the Google Play Store for $2.79, Ozymandias is developed by The Secret Games Company using Unreal Engine 4. The PC version launched on Steam in March 2022.
