The game still has the grandiose battles with swarms of armies charging each other on the field. If you've played any of the previous Total War games, things should feel familiar here. It's a unique vision of the past that keeps the fighting believable while also revealing how mythological tales could have recast them as creatures of fantasy. While this means you won't see flocks of winged harpies fighting against a serpent-like gorgon and her stone-cold stare, you do get to see a squad of agile and deadly spearwomen cower before the gaze of a dark priestess and her strange curses. What's even more interesting is how the game strips a lot of the mythology and romanticized aspects of the storied event in favor of a conflict that's more grounded in reality. A Total War Saga: Troy mixes things up a bit, digging deeper into the past than ever before and taking on the legendary Trojan War.
Will Troy fall once more and fade into little more than stories passed from generations, or could the kingdom survive and thrive, changing the face of the Bronze Age forever? Show moreįor more than two decades, the Total War series has reached deep into the history books to re-create the experience of diplomacy and warfare throughout the ages. Each leader and faction has its own strengths and weaknesses, and their ultimate fate, as well as the fate of Ancient Greece, lies in your decisions. You'll choose the hero to lead your armies, from the seemingly invincible Achilles to the prideful King of Mycenae, Agamemnon, to Paris, the Prince of Troy, whose actions and obsessions instigated the Trojan War to begin with. The half-man, half-beast Minotaur is no less frightening as an ax-wielding brute of a man wearing the fur and head of a bull. For instance, instead of sirens luring sailors to their doom with an irresistible song sung at the rocky shores, it's a troop of sultry women seducing hapless soldiers and leading them into a nearby ambush. Creatures of myth are replaced with real-world units that could have served as the basis for Homer's romanticized stories. The premise behind A TOTAL WAR SAGA: TROY is "What if the stories of myth were based on reality?" The game revisits the tale of the 20-year war between the kingdoms of Troy and Mycenaean Greece as it's told in Homer's Iliad, but reimagines it as events that might actually have taken place.
