A Total War Saga: TROY Reviews
A 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.
Total War Saga as a mini series of smaller scoped historical settings has allowed for incredibly rich myths and legends to be portrayed in a Total War game. Troy is no different. The Total War formula is able to seamlessly integrate itself into the Homeric epic, and the added mythological nature of the original story makes for a diverse range of Heroes and Kingdoms to choose from, making each campaign feel unique and purposeful.
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.
The story of Troy is still attractive nowadays, Total War: Troy combines it with the spirit of Total War series. As a result, it is indeed interesting but not so innovative or exceeding one's expectation.

A Total War Saga: Troy feels neither like an historic game, nor like a legendary tale. It stands in between, but it's an interesting gameplay experience and a spin-off that fans should try.

Overall, it was easy to be drawn into A Total War Saga: TROY.
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.
Troy is a good addition to the Total War franchise with an interesting setting. However, it does not capture the imagination or attention like previous entries in the franchise.
A Total War Saga: TROY will definitely attract an audience with its charming theme, that's for sure. But I can't suggest this game to hardcore strategy fans, it's too easy and simple.

A Total War Saga: Troy is an excellent take on the mytho-historic Trojan War. It introduces new mechanics for each of the game's eight factions that give each hero a unique feel. The art direction of the game and how they used poetry arts to create the campaign map's skybox makes the game even more stylish and exquisite. There are still some problems in Diplomacy and AI, like almost every other Total War game. Also, the siege battles are not as impressive as normal ones. With all this in mind, A Total War Saga: Troy is better than Thrones of Britannia and worth playing.

Epic conflict from Greek mythology in exciting campaigns, but without improvements in Total war series.

There is no denying that A Total War Saga: Troy is suffering from numerous problems, as the formula that started with Rome 2 and reached its full potential with Warhammer 2 is starting to show its age, and proves that it is time for major changes in the core mechanisms of the series. All that said, Troy is still an entertaining experience if you are a hardcore strategy fan and can keep you engaged for many, many hours.

A Total War Saga: Troy is a good addition to the franchise, but is not recommended for new players. However, fans of the historical setting Total War games shouldn't hesitate to check this one out.
A Total War Saga: Troy is a promising, if not quite polished game, that brings the Trojan War epic to life and has a lot to offer both veterans and new players of the Total War franchise.
As parto f the famous Total War saga this Strategy game seems simplified when compared to the resto f the series, the focus of the game seems to make it easier to jump into combat the mythology touch makes it feel unique in it’s series.

A Total War Saga: Troy is a solid strategy game with almost all the elements that we have come to expect from the previous Total War games. In this section there is a lot of experimentation with new features, such as the Divine Will, weight classes of military units and managing five different resources instead of just money. While one feature works out better than another, they all offer a refreshing new feature in a series that has always been great in its own right. Adding the new features does mean that it can be a bit overwhelming at times, because there are so many things to micromanage. Once you understand how it works, you can spend hours playing war.

A Total War Saga: Troy is a title that shows ups and downs. Without a doubt it's a better spin-off than the previous one (Thrones of Britannia), thanks to a breathtaking setting with attention to detail. The Homeric victory is infact much more interesting than the classical one. Troy relies heavily on some mechanics but then takes inexplicable steps backwards.

Fewer vampires and more Greeks! It’s Bronze Age Total War.
Based on the Iliad epic, Troy appeals to both Total War veterans and players who want to enter the series. Players looking for a good strategy game should definitely try this game.
