Ozymandias: Lightning-Fast Strategy Game Debuts from Oaken

Goblinz Publishing, renowned for titles like Overboss and Oaken, has released a new 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.

Lightning-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—its streamlined mechanics are its standout feature.

Unlike many 4X games that demand meticulous resource management, Ozymandias simplifies the process, eliminating endless micromanagement. The result? Incredibly fast-paced gameplay.

With eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each possessing distinct characteristics, the game offers replayability and strategic diversity. Multiple game modes, including solo, multiplayer, and asynchronous options, cater to various preferences.

A typical game concludes within 90 minutes, comparable to a board game session. Simultaneous turns further accelerate the pace. While this simplicity might be a drawback for some, it's a key element of the game's design. See for yourself:

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.
