A Total War Saga: TROY

Set during the Trojan War, the game lets you lead one of eight Greek or Trojan heroes and their faction. Campaign goals draw on Homeric stories as you fight to conquer or defend Troy and the surrounding lands.

On the turn-based campaign map, develop settlements, raise armies, and manage food, wood, stone, bronze, and gold. Diplomacy and resource barter shape relations with other factions, while faction-specific mechanics and the favor of the gods offer different strategic options.

When armies meet, command their units in real-time battles. Campaign modes range from a more historical approach to versions that lean further into myth, including expeditions involving creatures from Greek legend.

Players who enjoy the game often point to its Trojan War and Greek-mythology setting, visual style, campaign modes, and distinctive faction mechanics. Some also appreciate the resource-trading systems and focused campaign. Critical reviews frequently describe the campaign AI and diplomacy as erratic, battles as repetitive or limited in unit variety, and the late game as a grind; others mention pathfinding and technical problems.
