Available now, Ozymandias is a new fast-paced (for a 4x game) strategy title that just hit stores. Promising to offer tough choices and the ability to play in both single and multiplayer, Ozymandias is available for $2.79. Not convinced? Let’s dig in and see what it has to offer.

Set in the Bronze Age in the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Middle East, you take control of a variety of historical civilizations. If you've played Civ, you'll know what to expect as you expand, conquer, explore, and build your way to dominating your opponents and becoming the preeminent civilization of the Bronze Age.

As I said, Ozymandias is fast for a 4x with games lasting about an hour and a half. Each turn will give you choices to make as you battle through 52 civilizations and eight maps to complete random victory conditions and win the game.

4x simplified

I think a complaint I and many others have with games like Civilization is that the scope can be overwhelming even by 4x standards. Well then, let Ozymandias focus on a smaller time frame and a smaller number of players relatively speaking. While an hour and a half may seem ridiculous, for 4x players it’s just the blink of an eye. So is Ozymandias the new 4x game for you? You’ll just have to play it to find out!
