Total War Saga: Troy — Fighting the epic battles of gods and heroes

Sega’s Creative Assembly studio gave a deep demo on the gameplay of Total War Saga: Troy, the latest installment in a 20-year-old real-time strategy franchise that has sold more than 20 million copies.

In Total War games, you can feel like you’re the general of an army on a battlefield, as well as the commander-in-chief of regional war in a turn-based grand strategy game. When two armies meet on the field, a real-time battle ensues, where you can zoom out to see the big battle or zoom in to see a single company of soldiers battling the enemy.
