A Total War Saga: TROY Reviews
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.
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.

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

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.

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.
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 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.

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.
Fewer vampires and more Greeks! It’s Bronze Age Total War.
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 good addition to the Total War roster. It offers some unique new mechanics and a very different playstile for each hero. Balancing issues however damage the overall experience.

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

As a first foray, it is an incredibly impressive effort from Creative Asselby Sofia, a team that has done incredible justice to one of the most important tales of the ancient world.
The success of a Total War depends on the delicate balance between the turn-based portion of the game and the real-time strategic battles. While the latter are deep and with very few smudges, the former is extremely unbalanced and presents a series of issues – in some cases quite serious – that undermine the whole experience.

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.

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 Total War Saga: Troy is not a bad game, but some of the developers' decisions were quite controversial. However, it will always find its loyal fans thanks to unique setting. And it's possible that later it will be expanded and upgraded.
