And with a smattering of Greek mythology, Troy feels one of the most distinctive entries to the series yet. The new economy system also adds a new depth to diplomacy and strategy, making non-combat play significantly more enjoyable no matter your Total War experience level. Hardcore Total War fans may be dismayed by the lack of unit variety, but newcomers may well relish the simplified approach. However, there have been a few tweaks to the Total War blueprint in order to accommodate the Bronze Age setting. TrustedReviews - Ryan Jones - 4 / 5 starsĪ Total War Saga: Troy is a superb entry to Creative Assembly's strategy series, with both combat and diplomacy proving incredibly addictive. Sega's immense strategy series continues to snowball, absorbing and shedding new ideas, somehow keeping momentum despite that core gameplay remaining virtually untouched. Splicing history with Hollywood, Troy is an exciting new take on the Total War formula. It's not a perfect game, but fighting the Minotaur is too cool to pass up!Ī Total War Saga: Troy is a worthy successor with significant new features, such as Divine Will, that adds depth to the tried and true franchise. Vast, beautiful, and every bit as epic as its subject matter, Troy's designation as a 'Saga' doesn't reflect a brief spin-off, but a soaring remix of the Iliad, with just the occasional annoyance or backwards step. Grab it while it's free, but wait for a few fixes and balancing tweaks if you're planning on buying it separately. Still, it manages to entertain owing to unique faction leader mechanics and Divine Will strategies. Similarly, its middle-ground approach between a purely historical title and one that's filled to the brim with mythological elements might not please everyone. Refreshing tactical changes and some of the best maps in the series make this an experiment worth checking out.Ī Total War Saga: Troy is limited in scope and unit variety. It's commitment to the period, and all that entails is a lot of fun and well worth a look.Ī Total War Saga: Troy absolutely nails its Bronze Age setting and comes up with interesting ways to make the period work in its grand strategy framework, but its AI has trouble wrapping its head around it.
Some technical wobbles remain, and the game can be occasionally obtuse, but there's a lot to enjoy here.Ī Total War Saga: Troy is a slightly different Total War game. The "Saga" distinction allows the team to try some new concepts without disturbing the main franchise, and it does while remaining faithful to the historic roots of its predecessors, with a dash of the fantastical.
Total War Saga: Troy is a step in an interesting direction.
However, fans of the historical setting Total War games shouldn't hesitate to check this one out. Gamers Heroes - Johnny Hurricane - 80 / 100Ī Total War Saga: Troy is a good addition to the franchise, but is not recommended for new players. Total War: Troy makes some curious changes to the Total War formula, but the less streamlined resource system, extra micromanagement, and weird mix of reality and mythology work against its favour to create a less than entrancing experience. GameWatcher - Marcello Perricone - 6 / 10 Though technically not a bad game by any stretch thanks to great art direction, solid gameplay, and several potentially fantastic ideas for the future, A Total War Saga: TROY is still an uneven and disappointingly stagnant entry in the Total War franchise.Ī Total War Saga: Troy is shaping up to be quite a characterful take on the franchise, and I could stand to see a number of its changes make their way over the next time Creative Assembly wanna go bigger. Total War Saga: Troy takes the Total War franchise to the Bronze Age and while it brings a handful of new changes, Troy is an interesting, but flawed entry in the Total War series.Ĭultured Vultures - Maxim Klose-Ivanov - 6 / 10 Overall, it was easy to be drawn into A Total War Saga: TROY.
