A Total War Saga: TROY Review Summary

StrongCritic Consensus

True to its Setting

The Bronze Age period shines.

Refined Gameplay

With great maps, factions, leaders, and Divine Will, Total War's tactical gameplay shines.

Some Annoying Mechanics

Critics were mixed on mechanics such as economy management and agents systems.

A Total War Saga: TROY is a good Total War game that offers a refreshing mix of mechanics from previous entries. While some critics felt there was potential left on the table, most were impressed by Creative Assembly Sofia's debut title.

Total War heads to the Bronze Age for an entertaining and evocative brand of strategy.

A 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.

Refreshing tactical changes and some of the best maps in the series make this an experiment worth checking out.

If you play it for free this is an excellent introduction to the concept of Total War, but as a paid-for product it's a sometimes awkward mix of fact and fiction, old problems and new.

A meaty, engrossing strategy spin-off with an attention to detail that is both a blessing and a curse.

A Total War Saga: Troy plays it safe in some slightly disappointing ways, but brings enough new to the table that I would appreciate seeing its ideas make their way over to the next mainline Total War game.

Splicing history with Hollywood, Troy is an exciting new take on the Total War formula. Sega's immense strategy series continues to snowball, absorbing and shedding new ideas, somehow keeping momentum despite that core gameplay remaining virtually untouched.

It's not a perfect game, but fighting the Minotaur is too cool to pass up!
