    I think this game was great. Not as polished as Warhammer 2, but improved on a lot of things. For example you don't have annoying rebels every 2 seconds like in WH and you don't have invasions of Chaos razing your cities. The controls are great to and the map view in combat.

    I loved the aesthetics of Troy, ancient greek and the addition of gods and diplomacy is awsome. I really liked

    I loved the aesthetics of Troy, ancient greek and the addition of gods and diplomacy is awsome. I really liked the praying to gods mechanic for buffs. Felt satisfying. The map is gorgeous and the combat is awsome as always.

    The positive:

    Trade regions, diplomacy, agents, the awsome aestethics, good music (though I wish it was calmer at points), many cool units and prayer system. The setting. Varied combat maps, which I really liked and varied seige maps. Clean UI. I tried Three Kingdoms and absolutley hated it. This is so much better. Few cool special units. Like harpies and Minatours.

    The negative:

    The campaign was very short and contain too few interesting missions. Like most TW games. Needs more variation imo. Also need mechanics to auto level up, because when you sit with 30+ settlements and a bunch of agents, it's just annoying choosing leveling points every single round. It's more of a shore.

    Better description for units and diplomacy, sometimes very hard to know which units was the best when they are so similar. I really liked the units design though.
    Better diplomacy AI and clarity to who your allies are and not- very unclear AI decions, they can start wars and attack you, to next turn want peace.
    I dislike that Agents could not fight in your armies. Having "generals" or leaders in your army other than your hero is really great and adds more addition to the gameplay.

    I think they should try to script some more combat in the campaign, guide you through a story more, goes for all TW games. Switch it up. For example have combats set up (with allready finished armies) where you get to play story driven battles in the campaign.

    The seige battles are boring as usual. Mostly annoying. Maybe they should lessen the turns it take to get seige equipment. This is ancient greek though, so not very strange that they didn't have a lot of siege weapons.

    Still I liked the game! Especially the aesthics, controls and setting appealed to me. Cannot wait for the next Total war game and see which time period they will use next time.

Визуально игра светлая, яркая. Технических проблем у меня вообще не было. Прошел за Спарту кампанию, за все прохождение ноль проблем технических. Играю на ноутбуке, 1050 видеокарта, 7300 процессор, 8 оперативки. Площадки в городах сделали удобнее и логичнее, тебе сразу видно что можно построить на клетке и что нужно для постройки здания - можешь не лезть в 5 менюшек и сразу все видеть. В целом - хорошая часть, меньше лишнего мусора, чем например в Атилле - загрязнения нет, идиотской борьбы элит внутри твоей страны нет, хотя лояльность конечно же есть. Богов добавили и их влияние на жизнь - могут тебе в городе все постройки поломать, а если в хороших отношениях - будут тебе давать бонусы к урону, морали, точности и т.д. - храмы реально есть смысл строить. Плюс так как место действия - мифическая Древняя Греция - есть мифические существа. Некоторые реально фентезийные, медуза например - это именно тетка со змеями на голове вместо волос, или минотавр и циклом - это именно гиганты. А вот например гарпии - это люди с крыльями птиц на шлемах, мечущие дротики. Кентавры - это конница с копьями. То есть тебе показывают происхождение мифов, за что спасибо разрабам. Игру прошел, кампанию Спарты, мне понравилось. Получил в Эпик геймс бесплатно, так что сужу на уровне не жаль ли мне потраченного времени. Нет, не жаль. Понравилась больше, чем Атилла и Шогун 2, которые я покупал в Стиме. Еще на сайте Тотал варов привязал учетку Эпик геймс и в сентябре дополнение с амазонками должны бесплатно дать. Спасибо Эпикам, очередная годная халява. Ну и разработчикам спасибо - кто бы что ни говорил, но Тотал вар, Цивилизация, и игры от Парадокс остаются в топе интереса игроков - посмотрите топ Стима.

    As an installment, its fine.

    It still hasnt learned the three knigdoms lesson fully although its away from the awful army system. Now it introduces "motivation" which is also gonna be gone next installment.

    Lot of whinnying and **** If you paid for the game your opinion is as relevant as a fat guys fart.

    I can't decide if it is a 7 or an 8 too be honest (both great scores non-the-less). If you got it for free (such as myself), its a no brainier 8, if you paid, I can understand a 7. If you are a total war fan, you should feel right at home. It is a refreshing taste of a brilliant total war campaign, that is unfortunately plagued with constant pop-ups of AI trying to trade you recourse.

So far in my 20 hours of game-play, this seems to be my biggest complaint.
    The game-play is familiar yet refreshing. The time period mythical yet logical. The one thing I wish that the developers did was allow you the ability to create your own hero and forge your own Odyssey. If you are a Total War snob and expect every game to be the same and wish you could get a remastered Original Rome (yes, Total War veterans only complain), I'm sure you hate this. But if you are a gamer looking for a fun game to sink 100+ hours into, this is an easy pickup. I love Total War, and I recognize this game is not perfect, but it is stable, enjoyable and above all, Total War.

    The negativity surprises me. It runs great, looks good and to me, combines the best elements in the series. I do wish they had gone full mythological with the special units and abilities, but that's a small gripe in the scheme of things.

    The diplomacy is good and important. I like the resources as it gives varying importance to the difference provinces. The balance between the units

    The diplomacy is good and important. I like the resources as it gives varying importance to the difference provinces. The balance between the units feels good and the AI actually gives some fight.

    The heroes feel better balanced than 3K. They aren't game-winning but they are important units that can turn a close fight.

    If you don't care about the strategic layer, and just care about fights, Warhammer is probably a better bet. It has more unit variety. If you really like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then that one is an obvious pick, and you will probably prefer that to this. But as someone who didn't like 3k that much bc I don't know the lore (and the game doesn't help you in that regard), this game is a nice midpoint.

    Забудьте что это полноценная часть Total war. Это просто небольшой полигон для теста разных новых механик в обертке битвы за Трою.
    Что у нас есть:
    Боевка их вархаммера и троецарствия, выглядит ну совсем не очень. Что касается разных типов войск (легкие , средние и тяжелые) все это не РАБОТАЕТ и все сводится в кучу мяса. Осада как по мне усложнилась в плане что надо больше войск

    Осада как по мне усложнилась в плане что надо больше войск привести к городу с стенами , но она все та же кривая как и во всех сериях
    Доработанная механика дуэлей между героями, в целом неплохо.
    Вся прокачка героя почти взята из троецарствия.

    На карте компании появились интересные механики,вроде поклонениям богам и другой экономики в ресурсах(Еда,дерево,камень,бронза,золото). НО экономика реализована очень слабо и пока требует баланса.

    У каждой фракции свои небольшие механики.Например у Ахилеса меняется настроение от чего зависят разные бонусы и дебаффы,так же Ахилес может вызывать на дуэль и так же дает бонусы фракции.

    Так же отмечу хороший саунд на фоне и приятная графика.

    В целом как я и сказал серьезно эту часть воспринимать не стоит,это полигон для разных проб механик. Да и игра бесплатно раздавалась.

    For a saga title of the Total War series this title truly exceeds all expectations and sets a very high quality bar. Not to mention that it's in a time period very few games (and media as a whole) are brave enough to be in. So far loving every minute of it and I'm being positively surprised at every corner.

    Из не особо приятного
    1) Искусственный интеллект может посылать вас на**й местами, когда вы приказываете атаковать или переместить свой отряд. Он просто игнорирует или идёт не в ту сторону, в особенности связанно с дальнобойными отрядами, да возможно это связанно с режимом перестрелки, но после выключения, особо ничего не меняется.
    2) это нет семьи И нет никаких интриг внутри фракции, скорее всего это связанно с тем, что это Тотал Вар сага и речь идёт о повествование истории, а не о точном периоде времени, когда было больше известно обо всех сражениях и правителях
    3) интерфейс, который бывает мешает очень сильно. Далеко не во всех местах, но в формате 16:9 бывают моменты когда е**ную надпись "начать бой" просто хочется уничтожить

    Вроде всё, жаль, что дополнение на кровь выйдет в ноябре, когда уже по забудут трою, потому что она на несколько раз, отыграть за ключевых персонажей и всё. Но будут ещё dlc, так что сможет прожить до конца года

For an all infantry game they executed it perfectly and made infantry combat much more interesting. The mythic units fit right in and cavalry isn't to overpowered unless spammed. Each faction plays differently from each other and adds a lot of replay-ability to the game since each faction offers a different rewarding play style. With a few updates this game by far is one of the best total war titles. Ignore the haters this game is well worth your time. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TW Troy is not as good as Shogun 2, Warhammer Franchise, Three Kingdoms on Release.
    Breakdown:

    Campaign Map Mechanics/Skill System etc:

    The new Ressource System is awesome, TW went away from only gold for all to different mechanics and their own ressources mostly to build Buildings thats a good start for the future. Sadly you will have an abundance for specific ressources fast while you need to expand quite a bit to maintain for example 5-6 Elite Armys since Bronze is either abundant (Archaens part of the Map) or rare (Troyans part of the Map).

    The Province System is as it is since Rome 2. You have 1 Main Region and up to 3 minor Regions. Different Buildings for each type of Region and of course Ressource Buildings for the Minor ones. Sadly the Campaign Map don't show what buildings you have build that was even better on Rome 2. Also the Building symbols which where introduced in Rome 2 are still ugly and not as beautifull as Shogun 2 Building Pictures where.

    The Trading System and AI has it big flaws, you have Turn limited Trade, no Trade Routes like in old Games. The Turn limited trade dont even show the Route your Merchants take (like Caravan movements etc since Shogun 2 + follow up games or even older dont remember if that was already in ME2) and there is no mechanic involved to block trade between Countrys or Plunder it. So you don't need a Trading Port or Land Route anymore.

    Campaign AI, the ai is a bit better but less aggressive seems Relationships now really matter for getting wars declared out of nowhere etc. In the lategame the AI confed like Crazy which forces you anyway for the Total War Victory and Illiad Victory to trigger together on Legendary.

    Agents can't be totally disbanded now which is sad cause sometimes i just want get rid of Agents from Confed to get my Passive Zeus Buff Agents when recruited :P

    God Favour mechanic, needs a bit of overlook. When you gift away or trade away a Settlement with a Tempel you lose the Favour but when you have Gold to spare and change a Tempel you only get Favour don't lose it. Also it doesnt matter how many Tempels you build you lose equal Favour for all Gods unless you trigger Traits and or get Items. The Buffs from the Prayers and Gods can be a bit OP in experienced hands.

    The Random Event Mechanics and the Legendary Quests are Awesome.

    Legendary Hero defeats of the Enemy only give traits to your Faction Leader this seems to be a Bug. Considering Trait Mechanic in Three Kingdoms and Warhammer Franchise.

    The Skill System is not as awesome as it was in Warhammer or Three Kingdoms, its a bit of letdown most of the time and some passives stack up hard while others are just total garbage. Maybe a overhaul of the System is needed and Skillchoices in 60% of the time are a no brainer compared to the other skill. Only Agent skills make choices hard. Since you need to Specialize them for either Army, Own Territory buff or vs Enemy Faction uses.

    Influence Mechanic has no Drawback beside lesser Ressources.
    Happyness is easy to achieve.

    The Tech Tree (called Royal Decrees) is for all Factions the same the good thing is that its now easier to go for specific decrees which your faction, and postion demands.

    AI Build Order, is as bad as every TW game. Why can't CA ever fix the **** ai when it has a whole Province to build in the Capitals which can go up 5 the buildings which max out in 5 and raze those in the Minor settlements.

    Battles:

    There are some Bugs like Legendary Heroes falling through Wall and insta Die, and routed AI enemys chased turn around and fight while still routed. And of course broken Units of the Ai suddenly are unbroken. While broken means in this game this unit flees 100% of the battlefield and can't be regrouped or unrouted in that battle.

    Ai has less choices to make and in Open field is bit better than before but still lacks sense. The AI uses of Chariots or Cavalry (Centaurs) is sadly bad. But its still easy to fight the AI if you are an experienced TW Player.

    Ai prefers Range which is a bit OP since the melee is slugged down compared to Three Kingdoms. Paris Faction seems to be the easiest when you know how to play Woodelfs from all Factions. Achilles was a letdown unless the Enemy Hero tried to fight him and not run.

    I think the game needs the Duell Option like in Three Kingdoms, with the Force Duell Skill as it is.

    Tip:
    get 2nd Stack early since ai fields 2 Heroes when they attack.

    The interface and mechanics are much more digestible. I really like the new bartering system and i think the visuals are great. Granted, the last Total War game i played was Attila so i cant compare it to Three Kingdoms as some people said its a watered down version of it. All i can say is that in the past its been hard for me to be engaged in a Total War game passed the first 20-30 turns as i feel its all sort doing the same thing all the time but Total War Saga: Troy has been the first to really keep me captivated and excited for that moment when i attack the gates of Troy.

    Ive created an enormous empire with 2 vassal states and military allies with 9 other factions and that time is quickly approaching. If you enjoy Trojan mythology and are a fan of total war games i highly recommend this game, im having a blast! In comparison with previous Total War games it just feels much more engaging, rich, smooth, and just fun.

    Есть конечно баги, дыры в балансе и с точки зрения хардкорного игрока их довольно много, так же не порадовала казуальная боёвка, хотя в целом она вписывается в сеттинг, от такой игры особо и не ждешь реализма.

    Но, конечно, как не крути душа требует БОЛЬШЕГО - огромной карты как в Crusader Kings 2, морских боёв, как в Сёгуне 2, баллистики как в Меди 2, люди ждут масштабную эпическую игру, а не маленькие проходнячки, по этому отзывы вполне справедливы. Но я поставлю 10, как маленькая проходная игра Троя их заслуживает.

    Este es un buen juego que esta recibiendo una cantidad masiva de hate por haber sido lanzado en la Epic Store, pero tengo que admitir que es bastante divertido y la verdad esta mejor balanceado y optimizado que muchos total war. (excepto los carros, esos son el doom stack de este juego)

    el juego es un 8.5

    Très bon jeux ajoutant des nouveautés dont la série total war avait vraiment besoin.
    En mélangeant le réalisme avec une touche de fantasy le jeux se différencie des ancien total war.

    I love Ancient Greece! I'm very interested in playing this game! Of the drawbacks I can highlight the fact that some characters lose the interface during the game, but I think it will soon be corrected. The graphics are not super, but in the course of the game it ceases to be important.

    The new streamlined UI and smarter AI is nice. Side missions are enjoyable, the map is larger than I thought it would be and it offers up great replay-ability.

The battles force the player to use more strategic unit positioning than just charging units at each other and hoping for the best. Flanking is the key. Have not ran into any bugs or random crashes as of yet and that is already a big plus over other TW releases that require months of patching to make the game playable. Expand

    If you're going into this game expecting a full total war experience like total war warhammer or Three Kingdoms, you'll be disappointed. However, this is another solid experience with it's own unique aspects that make it stand out. I received this game free on the Epic Games store when it came out and think it's worth it on sale.

    I'd like to preface this review by saying I enjoyed and still enjoy Thrones of Britannia. And thought it was better than Attila to some degree, so do with that what you will.

    I'd like to preface this review by saying I enjoyed and still enjoy Thrones of Britannia. And thought it was better than Attila to some degree, so do with that what you will.

    Let's start with what i liked:
    1. The atheistic and style of the game. The buttons, pictures for events, background of menus, items, symbols, menus, and UI are all in the style of the pictures you see on Greek pottery from that era and I love it, the only disappointment is that the unit cards and hero pictures aren't in the same style, which was one thing I thought was cool about Thrones of Britannia.
    2. The graphics for the map, battlefields, unit models, water, and terrain are really nice on the eyes. The shadows as well are really nice. They're not quite Thrones of Britannia of Three Kingdoms but at least it's better than Attila, which had the most god awful graphics that made me want to throw up.
    3. The game is buttery smooth. It's so well optimized and I have experienced zero lagging in my 20+ hours of playtime. Even with three full armies (in the campaign, I have yet to try custom battles) on the battlefield clustered together in choke-points, no lag, and my god does it feel nice. After playing Attila for so long and it lagging even with two half full armies. It's nice to get an actually optimized Total War.
    4. The battlefields. As I said before the graphics of the battlefields are great. But how do they play? Pretty well I must say. The different battlefields have tons of variety, they have choke-points to help small armies funnel large armies, hills to gain the high ground, swamps to bog down heavy units, forests to hide units for ambushes, open areas for large encounters for straight on fights, rocky mountains that section off parts of the map. It all plays really well and taking advantage of the terrain and buildings to get off a really good flank feels really satisfying.
    5. The new resource management. I have to say I'm enjoying this new feature, as it adds another layer of depth to the game. Now, instead of gold being used for everything, it's sort of split. Wood and rock is used for building structures, food and bronze are used for recruiting and maintaining units, and gold coins are also there, but they're more of a precious commodity than anything else and they're used to trade for resources when you can't spare much resources on your own.

    There are many other things I could go on about, but let's just do a quick lightning round.
    1. The introduction of gods - Worshiping one or more grants buffs to units and your country, and events involving gods (both good and bad) can pop up. Normal things like earthquakes, tidal-waves, bad harvest, and plague, are all turned into godly acts.
    2. Missions - These are little temporary side missions that if fulfilled give resources, buffs, or units and are a nice distraction from the main point of the game.
    3. Diplomacy - It feels so much better in this game, and I often found that I would try to gain allies rather than just be hellbent on world domination, this is thanks in part to the new resource system.

    Now let's move onto what I didn't like:
    1. AI and trading. For the most part, diplomacy in Troy is really solid, and never did I feel that it was unfair, and usually got a fair deal. That being said, the amount of deals that popped up was staggering. Almost every time I ended my turn, the AI would ask for resources, or a non-aggression pact, or an alliance, and usually it would be very unfair, like give the AI 10,000 food for nothing in return. Eventually I managed to work the deal out to be good for me, but I was on the diplomacy screen for as long as I was on the battlefield (which was not a good thing).
    2. More on diplomacy. Declaring war on a single other country is very tough in that game, and more likely than not, they have 2 or 3 allies. Now usually this would be fine, I have accrued a fine posse of allies myself, the only problem is they do jack **** I found myself soloing coalitions of countries constantly, which would take 30 turns to finish the war.
    3. The AI and armies. In wars, they just aren't proactive. When I take their cities they don't try and take them back, they won't go on the offensive either. Most of the time an entire army sits in the capital and waits until I'm sieging one of their cities to attack me from behind, which is either a genius military move or a ****ty AI tactic, I don't know, you decide.
    4. The size of the map. It's big, very big. Which is great, but also a double edged sword. The massive scale of it means lots of provinces to capture, which is fine. But it means you have to go through SO. MANY. COUNTRIES. That coupled with dislike #2 meant constant battles and slogging through the map to get even a couple provinces.

    I hope this was an informative and helpful review that will help sway you on whether or not to get Troy. I must say I'm having a blast and can't wait for the future of this game.

    Muy buen juego, trae similitud con el warhammer, mas desafiante con temas de administracion de ejercitos, ciudades, tienes que meterle mas logica de como lograr que tu nacion prospere, mas estrategia, y el tema de la mitologia es algo muy bueno.

    Some really interesting innovations come out of this experiment, but none so successful as the resource system.

It diversifies the economy in a way that makes you care about having good trading partners, and more importantly, creates natural-feeling bottlenecks that incentivize you to build balanced armies. No more feeling like solid stacks of elite units are the way to go because your gold and bronze production cannot keep up with your food production and you're just going to be sitting on huge reserves that do nothing... unless you buy yourself some lower tier units to pad out your armies and balance your resource reserves. Rather than artificial unit caps which feel like you're being punished into making balanced armies, the resource system makes you feel like you're making an purposeful decision to use your resources more wisely, and you've got lots of room to decide what kinds of units you use to make your ends meet.

    The focus on infantry combat is a really refreshing change, and the different unit weights and classes still allow for interesting army compositions, and the rarity of cavalry and chariots make them feel all the more special and impactful.

    I've finished a campaign as Hector and had a blast the whole way through, with the exception of the inevitable mop-up at the end of every Total War campaign when you've won in all but map-painting the necessary provinces/factions.

    I did have a few issues. The new notification button is actually more annoying than previous iterations because it's hidden rather than constant, so you have to remember to click it to see if you've forgotten something important.

    Odysseus's faction has an interesting premise that tries to make you focus on coastal provinces, but the bonus for coastal provinces is quite minor, and the penalty to inland provinces is both boring and painful, turning any inland province into a single building.

    There are also some issues with the UI, with some features not explained, or explained poorly.

    I'd give this an 8.5, rounded up to a 9 because it was free and metacritic doesn't allow half points. Overall, if they just brought the siege battles and duels from Troy into TW:WH3, I'd say the game was a success. I sincerely hope to see the split resource system in all future games, though I doubt it'll make it into WH3.

    my third total war game and the first one that I don't get bored in the first 2 hours, the graphics are good, the gameplay is complete and at the same time easy to understand, the economic system becomes annoying due to the difficulty of obtaining food and the constant nonsense tricks that AI offers us, the system of divine favors and decrees work well although they should have more branches.

    I love this game! If you’re new to the franchise, I heavily suggest playing as Menelaus. He’s by far the most fun, whatever people say, and it’s still challenging

    Lo jugue porque lo regalaron en la Epic Store, aunque previamente habia jugado al Total War: Shogun 2. Es muy Total WAr, cuando uno juega a esta debe saber lo que es ya. Muy similar al resto de Total war, sin apenas novedades salvo que es de Troya. Graficamente esta obsoleto pero tampoco necesita mucho mas para lucir. Traducido y bien doblado al español.

    Los mapas de las batallas son todos iguales, tienen 3 o 4 para varias asi que las batallas pueden acabar aburriendo por similares. Hay muchisimas facciones, tanto para elegir como durante el juego. Eso si, me sigue enganchando muchisimo, le meti mas de 40 horas en menos de un mes. Un juego de nicho.

    Карта стала меньше в масштабе с Римом, но она всё ещё большая. Скучноватен сам конфликт всего двух стран, но геймплейно и графически игра выросла. Система героев добавляет игре некоторую мифичность, от чего теряется реалистичность (один герой убивающий целые отряды врагов) но играть всё равно интересно.Карта стала меньше в масштабе с Римом, но она всё ещё большая.

    A mix between Three Kingdoms and Thrones of Britannia, Troy is a solid game that has a lot to offer and guarantees many hours of addictive fun but might disappoint loyal Total War fans with some of the changes (e.g. diplomacy). If you’re new to the series, be prepared to power through the overwhelming beginning, fortunately with the help of one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. [11/2020, p.60]

    Troy can’t hold its own against the main entries of Total War series. But its purpose is to introduce new players to the series, and in that regard, Troy is more than adequate. [Issue#248,p.44]

    As an abstract total conversion of Total War, Troy is a passable game, but it does very little to convey the atmosphere of Iliad (or that movie with Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom, for that matter).
