Warriors: Legends of Troy, released in Japan as Troy Musou (TROY (トロイ)無双, Toroi Musō), is a video game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games consoles set during the Trojan War. The game was developed by Koei Canada and is published by Tecmo Koei. While having a Warriors title, this game differs from the Dynasty Warriors series as it features a greater level of graphic violence. The game had a scheduled release date of Q4 2010[1] in all regions but was pushed back to Q1 2011 after Koei's announcement during Tokyo Game Show 2010.

Gameplay

The game features various gameplay modes. The story mode is similar to the one found in Dynasty Warriors 7, as it is divided into two major stories (for the Greeks and the Trojans) that offer predetermined characters for the player to use. While the game retells the events of the Trojan War, it also dramatizes certain aspects of history. Challenge Mode offers three challenges: Arena (defeating continuous waves of enemies), Rampage (collecting as many Kleos as possible without getting hit), and Bloodlust (collecting Kleos to restore gradually-depleting health). The game supports online co-op and competitive play[2] for up to four people.

Plot

Development

The game's developers went on research expeditions to archaeological sites in the Aegean world. Locations in the game look like actual landscapes where Troy was believed to be.[3]

Warriors: Legends of Troy received "generally unfavorable" reviews for PlayStation 3 and "mixed or average" reviews for Xbox 360.[10][5] IGN awarded it a score of 6 out of 10, saying "with a few friends and the right attitude, Warriors: Legends of Troy can be fun."[11] James Stephanie Sterling of Destructoid awarded it a score of four out of 10, saying "Warriors of Troy just about delivers some simple button mashing action without too much fuss, but hack n' slash fans would do best to wait for Dynasty Warriors 7."[12] PlayStation LifeStyle awarded it a score of 3 out of 10, saying "While the game can be fun in spurts, there are plenty of better options on the market should you feel the need to mash some buttons. Unless you are dying for a taste of Greek mythology or [are] extremely bored, this is one game you won’t be sorry you missed."[13] GamesRadar gave the title 2.5 stars out of 5, praising the kill animations, Fury mode, and setting, while criticizing the shallow combat, tedious objectives, and wasted potential.[9]
