A Total War Saga: Troy
Sep 02, 2021 5 years ago
A Total War Saga: Troy is the first in the award-winning strategy series to focus on the Bronze-Age Mediterranean and the legendary twenty-year conflict between the kingdoms of Troy and Mycenaean Greece, known as the Trojan War.
What it’s like
A Total War Saga: Troy reimagines the legendary Bronze Age conflict through a lens of mythic grandeur rather than historical realism. The experience is defined by its vibrant period identity, where each playable faction possesses unique mechanics that fundamentally alter how you approach diplomacy and warfare. Visually, the game excels with some of the most atmospheric maps in the series, capturing the sun-drenched intensity of the Mediterranean theater. Gameplay-wise, it introduces refreshing tactical changes to the traditional Total War formula, offering a distinct feel compared to its predecessors. While the narrative focus lives up to the 'Saga' title by providing a strong thematic backbone, the structure remains rooted in the series' familiar turn-based campaign layer and real-time battles. It is less about deep systemic simulation and more about delivering a focused, epic-scale war simulator where the atmosphere and faction uniqueness take center stage.

Keep in mind The AI often struggles with strategic decision-making, which can break immersion during diplomatic phases. Additionally, the campaign map size is limited compared to mainline titles, offering less long-term exploration variety.
