Total War Saga: Troy is a 2020 turn-based strategy video game developed by Creative Assembly Sofia and published by Sega. The game was released for Windows on 13 August 2020 as the second installment in the Total War Saga subseries succeeding Thrones of Britannia (2018). The game received generally positive reviews upon release. Like its predecessors Total War Saga: Troy is a turn-based strategy game with real-time tactics elements. The game is set in the Bronze Age during the Trojan War though its scope also covers the surrounding Aegean civilizations. Real-time battles take place in large sandboxes and players can command the infantry hero units as well as mystical beasts as they battle opponent forces. There are a total of eight heroes representing the two factions (the Trojans and the Achaeans) and each hero has two unique abilities that can be used during battles. As the player progress in the game they can also build their relationship with the Greek gods. If the approval ratings with the Gods are high enough the player would gain gameplay benefits. Outside of battles players also need to collect sufficient resources such as wood bronze and food in order to keep the army running. Agents return in Troy and players can send priests and spies to infiltrate hostile cities. Multiplayer which supports up to 8 players was introduced on November 26 2020.
