Our take on A Total War Saga: TROY
The game combines campaign administration with battlefield command, so neither side stands alone. Players focused only on diplomatic empire management give up a purely strategic format, while those seeking uninterrupted battles must engage with the turn-based campaign between clashes.
What is A Total War Saga: TROY?
A Total War Saga: TROY combines turn-based empire management with real-time battles set during the Trojan War.
Players choose one of eight heroes, including Achilles, Hector, Paris and Menelaus, and fight to defend or conquer Troy. The campaign covers empire-building across the Aegean through statecraft, diplomacy and warfare. Armies can recruit units inspired by creatures from Greek mythology before facing enemies in battle.
