Goblinz Publishing, renowned for titles like Overboss and Oaken, has released its latest Android game: Ozymandias. This 4X strategy game, reminiscent of the Civilization series, offers exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination gameplay. Read on for a closer look.

Blazing Fast Gameplay

Set in the Bronze Age, Ozymandias lets you explore diverse Mediterranean and European civilizations. While retaining the strategic depth of a classic 4X game—city building, army raising, and conquering opponents—it stands apart with its streamlined, rapid pace.

Unlike many 4X games that demand meticulous resource management, Ozymandias simplifies the process. Forget endless micromanagement; this game prioritizes speed. A typical match concludes within 90 minutes, making it ideal for a quick gaming session.

With eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each boasting distinct characteristics, players must adapt their strategies. Multiple game modes—including multiplayer, solo, and asynchronous—cater to various preferences. The simultaneous turn system further enhances the fast-paced action. This simplification, however, might make the game feel too simplistic for some. See for yourself!

Ready to Conquer?

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