Warriors: Legends of Troy (TROY無双, Troy Musou) is a game announced by Koei at E3 2009. Its setting is the Ten Year Trojan War; The Iliad is the game's main narrative base though mythological information from other sources is included.

The Canadian team created a European game to appeal to Western players who dislike the Three Kingdoms setting from Dynasty Warriors. They aimed to invigorate the hack-and-slash system in previous games. Akihiro Suzuki supports the idea but fears losing the Warriors' image. Suzuki wants a D rating for the Japanese release, avoiding Cero Z content. The game was made using SpeedTree software and is voiced in Japanese.

Gameplay[]

The Warriors: Legends of Troy game is grittier and rustic, aiming to create a sense of cruel realism. It differs from previous titles in that players can't always face villains alone and the enemy AI is aggressive. The new system emphasizes planning and careful preparation, allowing players to use various methods and tactics to gain an advantage. Characters can use shields, javelins, boulders, and other weapons, and each weapon has limited uses before it shatters or breaks, making strikes careful.

As players fight through crowds and obstacles, they will be awarded Kleos, or the monetary currency in this game. Bonus Kleos can be earned by performing stylish kills without suffering damage. If the player doesn't attack an enemy for ten seconds or if they are hit once, their bonus Kleos counter will reset. Kleos can be used to purchase rare items for the player's usage. Purchased items can be used to let players learn various skills for their characters or change certain attributes such as the gained Kleos or length of a character's health bar.

  • Charges have been adapted for a different combat system with three attack buttons (Square, Triangle, X). These buttons can be used in various attack combinations
Square or Quick Attack allows several damaging attacks for combos.
Triangle is for Focused Attacks to pierce through an enemy's guard. When an enemy is caught off guard or shows an opening, Triangle may appear to perform a Finisher, or a stylized killing blow. Finishers change their animations based on the position of the player's character to their target.
X is a Stun Attack, which has a higher chance of lowering an opponent's guard than Triangle. These attacks deal no damage, but they can provide a momentary opening for players. When the player has purchased the right items for their character, they can learn how to use Quick and Stun Attacks button combinations.
  • Jumps -or at least the act of performing high jumps commonly found in other Warriors titles on command- have been omitted.
  • The Warriors trademark Musou move has been replaced with a new "Fury" gauge, providing a significant power boost until depleted, with slow motion effects and dramatic cuts.
  • Items can also be unlocked within the game if the player meets certain Battle Objectives during Story Mode. Objectives that must be met within a certain time limit have an on screen timer for the player's convenience. Special items also appear within the game's Challenge Mode.
  • Unlike other Warriors titles, there are no battlefield items to restore a character's lost health or temporarily increase their stats. Characters regain their health by cutting a path through their foes. The more Kleos accumulated from their attacks, the more health is restored. Since a character has a naturally minute health bar, it might be in the player's best interest to avoid blindly rushing into crowds.
  • A lock-on option is also available by pressing L1. Lock-ons can also be used to increase the accuracy of thrown weapons.
  • Rolling or evading from attacks can be done by pressing R2. It can help players dodge certain attacks and is useful for gaining distance between opponents. Rolling doesn't make their characters completely invincible under normal means, meaning that it shouldn't be the be-all-answer for avoiding attacks. The realistic vulnerabilities found in evading is its prime difference between its Samurai Warriors or Dynasty Warriors counterparts.
  • This title features two guarding techniques: Guarding, which blocks incoming attacks, and Parrying, which triggers a quick guard with an offensive rebound. Mastering parrying is crucial for progressing in harder difficulties or Challenge Mode.
  • One-on-one fights with bosses are implemented in the game. During a duel, it's encouraged to lock onto their lone opponent and gradually chip away their health. Rushing into a fight might turn for the worse for the player. When their foe nears low health, the player can then finish them off with a Fury attack.
  • Special bosses, such as the mystical giants or beasts, will have a weakening sequence for players to input or a special Finisher animation. As their health drains during the fight, key buttons may appear on the center of the screen for the player to rapidly press. Reacting to the button sequence correctly awards bonus Kleos. Depending on the opponent, performing a perfect sequence can change the boss's A.I. entirely. Like Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage, causing a mistake in the button inputs restores a portion of the boss's health and lowers the player's life as punishment.
  • All events can be manually skipped by the player, including the seamless in-battle events.

Modes[]

New Story[]

Players fight through the Trojan War while being introduced to each section through a stylized narrative. Similar to the Story Mode in Dynasty Warriors 7, players cannot freely select their own character within this mode. The narrative is told in a manner that combines the characters' histories into a solid, collective story. Unlike the previously mentioned title, it additionally reenacts events that predate the current conflict, gradually dramatizing the setting and the history of various characters as the player progresses through the game.

Chapter Select[]

Analogous to Free Mode from other Warriors titles.

Challenge Mode[]

There are three courses the player can choose to participate in:

  • Arena - Players fight through a continuous stream of enemies who gradually become stronger as the player progresses. As they defeat more enemies, players can gain bonus Kleos.
  • Rampage - Players must collect Kleos without being hit by enemies, as being hit once results in the game being over.
  • Bloodlust - The player's health gradually drains until it is nothing. In order to restore their health, players have to defeat their foes as quickly as possible.

Participating in these courses may award players large quantities of Kleos. An allotted amount of Kleos is awarded to players based on their overall performance.

Options[]

Allows players to change controls and difficulty, disable certain ui and blood effects, adjust sound settings and toggle cheats. Cheats the player can activate are:

  • Super Strength - Adds a knock back effect to player's attacks. Unlocked by completing all chapters on easy difficulty.
  • Big Heads - Cosmetically enlarges characters' heads. Unlocked by completing all chapters on normal difficulty.
  • Infinite Ammo - Picked-up weapons may be thrown repeatably. Unlocked by completing all chapters on hard difficulty.
  • Sudden Death - Enemy attacks can kill players in one hit but doubles the Kleos earned. Unlocked by completing all chapters on expert difficulty.

Extras[]

The game allows players to view earned movies, achievements, listen to the soundtrack, and access an art gallery with unlocked concept and promotional art.

On May 15, 2011, a miniature blogger event was held in Tokyo to showcase the Warriors series to Japanese consumers. Game designers Mike Bond, Mr. Kuroda, and Hiroshi Kadowaki discussed the differences between the series and the Canadian team's approach. The game's Story Mode was considered but became too complicated with over 100 characters. Fans in the Yoshimoto Performance Group played Troy Musou to showcase it to buyers.
