    This is the first Total War game I don’t like. I still play older games, some, like Empire and Rome 2, I played over hundreds of hours. This game feels... messy.

To many things going on, yet many elements rarely contribute to the game like the gods mechanic. The economy is oversimplified yet makes you cringe in many aspects - when you’re low on grain for instance and you have to secure it from other leaders, working on it for 15 mins, only to realize ot expires in 10 turns and you can do it manually over again. I likes the heroes loyalty system at first, but it’s really annyoing after a while. Anyway, played for 12 hrs and uninstalled. Maybe it’s for some people, not for me though.… Expand

    Warhammer 2 Total War is a much better game than this. Don't waste your money for Troy go buy latest Warhammer 2 with all DLC. It's bigger, better with more factions that feel real different and it is way more interesting than Troy and it's limited scope

    To make it short, this game is basically shogun 2 with food instead of gold as main commodity, bad UI and war-hammer like heroes.

    Even so this game is based on the war-hammer 2 version of the engine, they did not include any of the quality of life or UI layouts they head improved on over the time. Instead they made up a new layout with questionable operational decisions, over complicating systems that head already perfectly worked and making the life of the player thus harder then it needs to be. Research notifications that keep you from ending the turn for example are gone, the menus like diplomacy are no longer in the bottom right of the screen but in the top left. There is no longer a ok button to start the diplomacy instead on has to double click and so on.

    In battle woods (more like all vision blocking bushes), unlike they did in war-hammer 2 no longer become invisible when zooming in. Instead when fighting in the woods one cant see the exact positions of the units. Only the flags making it very very hard to determine who got flanked or how to flank the enemy. Sieges of main settlements have gotten worse do to the lag of siege engines, making the attacker depended of war-hammer 2 ladders and comically looking rams that can only damage the gates.
    Just to name a few.

    I don't know for whom this game was meant. Its has pseudo mythically units like giant bow man aso., it has over powered heroes and the satting is boring af. Why didn't they use the middle east and the conflics beween the Egyptians and Hittites Rames II. style I will never understand but whilst having egyptian style units allready in the game as seen with the Khopesh warriors, this whole setting is a waste of potential.

    In short for every step forward they took 2 steps back and wasted all of its potential. Would have been fun to have a bronze age game, but this is not.

    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    … Expand

THE SPECIAL GRAND MAP STRATEGY GAMEPLAY , THEN THE BATTLEFIELD SHOWN US A WHOLD GRAND AND POWERFUL BATTLEFIELD GAME EXPERIENCE , THIS IS IMPORTANT AND THIS IS THE TOTAL WARS HEART , BUT THIS HEART IS ALMOST OVER .

    2. warhammer movements system is good , but make shield becomes → just a accessory model with data , soldier will never use shield , TKD and TROY copied warhammer movements system , but just copied , dont improve it , so i can see many soldiers cut the air , and there was no feedback after being hit , we knew in rom 2 attila , TOB , we can still see soldier will use their shield to defence themselves , and use their shield to impact enemy , attackers will beat them shield hard and heavy , the weapons will hit their bodies and shields , then we can hear the sound effect between the friction of weapons , they will up their shield to resist arrow , this is good .

    3. warhammer movements system maybe is suitable for warhammer , but doesnt mean suitable to TKD TROY and other total war game , warhammer is warhammer , its a beautiful mysterious and a fantasy world , that means many and many things no need to think about real world , so the battefield and soldiers actions , their movements , the act of waving weapons , ways of attack and others , all of these things is no problem with exaggeration , but TKD is a history total war , its maybe not suitable with this movements system , TORY i dont know , i saw many air cut , and soldiers have no feedback after being hit , the shield is just a truly accessory on their hands .

    4.Battlefield atmosphere : i dont know , maybe its just my illusion , but i think CA dont care about battlefield anymore . contrast with other total war games , TKD WH TROY make me feel something is missing , we knew total wars battlefield is very special , the important thing is : Total war games will show us a very grand and powerful battlefield , like : battlefield back ground music , soldiers charge , soldiers howl , weapons collision , large troop formation , soldiers fighting intense on the battlefield , then as for us : players need to watch clearly with soldiers every movements . besides , on the battlefield , need to leave a certain distance between people to fight and swing weapons , but now in TKD and TROY , people huddled together like ants , so how should they wave weapons , In Mount and Blade 2 , we knew if youre in the crowd , you cant wave your weapons and in TKD TROY , watch the battle , watch soldiers vs soldiers become a very boring things , there is no many special movements to soldier , CA now wanna make good heros system , but they forgot one thing : people wanna see a big grand battle , they wanna see more soldiers movements and actions , not just hero .
    5. now in TKD TORY , soldiers vs soldiers become to → you hit him, he hit you → you cut the air , he cut the air too , then someones dead , but total war battlefield is not just a " Turn based games " right ? in Napoleon , shogun 2 , rome 2 , attila , TOB , these wont happenning to much .

    6. CA has a very big ambition , i think this is a good way to grow up , but for now his ability is not enough to support his ambition , “ they abandoned half the hearts ” .    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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).
