MYTHBUSTERS

The work never stops when you’re trying to organise a holiday to Troy with a bunch of your Greek mates. I just want to smash some walls, but I’ve got soldiers freaking out about bad omens, centaurs that need feed, petulant deities setting fire to shit like bored pyromaniac teens, and people pestering me endlessly about bronze they really don’t need. Get your own bronze, Achilles! A Total War Saga: Troy never lets up.

If you’ve read any of the Greek epics that serve as Troy’s inspiration, you’ll know that everyone’s a dick, especially the gods. Thanks to some divine meddling, this Orlando Bloom-looking arsehole runs off with Helen the Spartan queen, and takes her back to the titular city, plunging the Aegean into a brutal war. Troy still lets you fight whomever you want, but everyone is ultimately gearing up for this big brawl between east and west.

Resource wars give the early game a lot of momentum.

The eight factions have their own being the most purposeful that I’ve ever played. While you’re getting ready for the big showdown, however, there are a whole lot of distractions.
