In my opinion this is true modern masterpiece of strategy game1 found this helpful
Ozymandias is an excellent take on the 4x genre. This game cuts away at the bloat that detracts from the likes of Civilization, resulting in a smoother, quicker, and more immediately rewarding experience. The Good The AI does not pull any punches, it always makes the immediately optimal moves and safe progression. You will be punished for not taking them seriously The base games maps are generally pretty fun Games tend to only last 30-90 minutes, unless you're playing particularly hard settings The bad The UI could use some work No mod support The DLC maps are lackluster, with Africa and Mesoamerica maps being the only ones worth their price Definitely worth full price if you enjoy 4x1 found this helpful
A fun little time waster. Don't expect anything close to the depth of civilization. Reminds me of what we used to call a "Beer and Pretzel" wargame. Something that was quick and easy without a lot of complicated rules, but still fun to play. I've spent over a 100 hours on this game. Right now during the steam sale it is $4.49. If you can pick it up for that price it is well worth it.1 found this helpful
A good game at the core, but there's a definite lack of map variety and any sort of map editor. All you get is a few maps which can be played only at a specific amount of players (bots can be utilized) and the starting positions of the players are very unbalanced in each and every map.
It ok - very basic strategy game.
Very primitive game
