Warriors: Legends of Troy
(PS3, Xbox 360)
November 2010
Taking the Dynasty Warriors franchise in another new direction, Warriors: Legends of Troy will bring the series back in time to the Trojan War, and follow the ten-year war from the points of view of both Greek and Trojan soldiers of legend. The names should be familiar, with playable characters like Achilles, Odysseus, and Hektor, and the gameplay mechanics should immediately feel familiar to anyone that has played the Dynasty Warriors, or Samurai Warriors series.
The story will combine elements of the traditional hack-and-slash that will have players square off against dozens of enemies at a time. But a mythological element will add a new level to the game, as the gods will send avatars to fight you, including giant statues and mythological beasts.
Where the Dynasty Warriors series helped introduce the incredibly massively popular Asian epic of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms to some western gamers, Warriors: Legends of Troy might do the same thing for Homer’s epic story of the Trojan War. The game is due out in November of this year.
