Is this game worth it?

[Money]

it looks beautiful. I am a total war veteran I guess. I have over a thousand hours on attila and I played napoleon and medieval 2. is the combat for units the same as kingdoms total war or similar to rome 2?

[TheOrangeBox]

It plays far too differently from Rome II and Attila with the game mechanic introducing new elements in the campaign map that at first might feel confusing if you played the previous historical titles.
There's also to consider that Troy is a far more recent game and as such a direct comparison with RomeII/Attila might not really hold. Armies battle are great and play as smooth as possible can with battle maps far improved from the older titles.

It's more close to Three Kingdoms in a smaller package although it offers a lot with the DLCs - all in all I would recommend it if you like the historical title with Troy having some mythical components to spice up the gameplay while providing an historical mode as well of play.

Can be a bit pricey in comparison to a full Total War title so on a sale it's a great buy.

As far as I know, the battles were often criticised in Troy so you should definitely buy the Mythos DLC that comes with more variety and more units.

You will probably not get thousand of hours out of it because it's a Saga title with smaller scale. But nevertheless the game offers a lot of qualities - very beautiful campaign map, multiple ressource system, epic quest chains, different faction mechanics, great soundtrack and more...

Like OrangeBox said, it's maybe a bit overpriced yet but the next sale will surely come. :)

It is very different from Rome 2, Medieva 2 and especially from Attila

Mechanically, in battles and campaign, Troy is closest to Warhammer and Three Kingdoms.

Important points are, that Troy does not have inner-faction micromanagment with politics and characters (Attila), so it reminds a Shogun 2 a bit. And base game contains 2 modes - "Truth behind Myth" with single wntity heroes and units (like in Warhammer) and "Historical" with classic TW generals with bodyguards (Rome 2)

unfortunately, Troy has problems with campaign AI - it is extremly player, and constatly confederate in late game , I reccomend to play with this mod

the battles have a weird unit collison and missile trajectory

I would say, it depends, how much are You interested into setting of Trojan War, if not a lot , wait for a sale

This game has the best campaing mechanic's of all total war series, every faction feels unique even in the bronze age. Also defensive and military alliances do matter in higher difficulties, not being something that just ♥♥♥♥ you up like every other total war. The only problem that I found was the pathfinding in some battles (especially with cavalry playing as amazons). Besides that, I think the Mythos DLC should be free too. But it's a very good total war game.

as of now yes i can reccomend total war troy its a great time i rate it highly

[Dee-Jay]

It’s not worth it simply on the grounds that they gave it away for free on Epic. I’ll consider it once it’s 90% off. I’m not paying full hit for a game others got for nothing.

[Jack Greedy]

It's great game i bought it second time on steam , just for collection. Now with Mythos and Rhesus and Memnon game feels complete, you will love it. Give it a try and next try Warhammer TW you will love it ever more.

For me it is same, every faction has 2 unique and interesting mechanics, but without unnessary micromanagment

What kind of argument is this?
The Epic giveaway (in 2020) is completely irrelevant now

It’s just my opinion. I don’t see how the price history of a game can be anything but relevant when considering a purchase.
In this case, I can’t face paying $40 or whatever it is when others got it for nothing, it just seems wrong. Personal viewpoint.
Big sale needed before I consider it.

@Dee-Jay

It would be more relevant here to consider game's price history on STEAM

The Troy was free to claim for 1 day in August 2020 on EPIC store. And then it was 1 year exclusive on EPIC store.

This thing thing was special EPIC store bussines promotion.

For the people, who want Troy in February 2022, and especially on STEAM. this EPIC offer is irrelevant

I know. It’s just my personal view, just doesn’t sit right with me. Bit weird really as I’m usually happy to throw money away on all sorts of trash game. :)

I guess I’m just annoyed that I missed the original promotion.

[defcon]

I understand your point of view and I guess the Epic giveaway is a reason why some people don't want to buy the game here for the current price - however, you should consider that it was "just" the base game that was free for one day.

The Ultimate Edition is brand new and will come back with the next sale. Troy feels much better now with all the good DLC's and patches than it felt on release day.

Yeah I’ve complained but I’ll probably end up taking a look when there’s a sale on the ultimate in the future. 😂
