The game “A Total War Saga: TROY” was released on the 13th of August, 2020, and through the Epic Games Store it was delivered for free. This game will eventually cost users approximately $50, but for now, it’s available with a tap of the “GET” button. This is the latest game that’s “free” through the Epic Games Store as such.

The Epic Games Store will release A Total War Saga: TROY on the 13th of August, 2020, “FREE to claim on the Epic Store for the first 24 hours!” Once you’ve signed up with an Epic account and download the Epic Store, you’ll tap said GET button, then you’ll have the game to play for free, forever, or until the Epic Store closes or you decide to get rid of said Epic Store.

In the most recent update from developer Epic, we've seen two different things: Firstly, a tweet was put out by the company, teasing what appears to be a superhero theme with the impact of the comet. Secondly, an image was posted the game's website that simply reads Brace for Impact!

This game was developed for use on both Windows and Apple (macOS) machines. While it’s not all that uncommon nowadays for a major title to work on a platform outside of Windows, it’s certainly a welcome sign that a game like this would work on a computer made by Apple.

The developer of this game was Creative Assembly, and the title was published by SEGA. This game is a rarity in our modern multiplayer online competition sort of gaming universe, in that it is a single player strategy game.

This game is “inspired by The Iliad” at the point at which the Trojan War struck our Earth with conflict the likes of which had never been seen before. “In this legendary age, heroes walk the earth. In an act that shocks the world, audacious Paris, prince of Troy, elopes with the beautiful queen of Sparta. As they sail away, King Menelaus curses her name. He vows to bring his wife home – whatever the cost!”

You might also have seen this story played out in the movie TROY, with Diane Kruger as Helen of Troy, Orlando Bloom as Paris, Brian Cox and Agamemnon, and Brad Pitt as Achilles. Early reviews suggest this is a relatively decent game – or at least one worth the effort of opening the Epic Store for to tap GET!

Story Timeline

Launcher and browser for all titles in the Epic Games Store, the new distribution platform spawned by the massive success of Fortnite

Brace For Impact Game

Much has been said about the Epic Games Store over the past couple of years, and not all of it good. From the company's anti-competitive practices and privacy concerns, to the current state of the store and the spartan feature set the launcher comes equipped with, there is certainly a lot to talk about. Perhaps the latter two shouldn't be too surprising considering the company's rapid rise to the top following Fortnite's surprisingly huge success.

Of course, we can't talk about the Epic Games Launcher without covering the store, since they are co-dependent. They both have their strengths and flaws, but in this review, I'll try to focus more on the launcher's features and how it compares to the desktop apps offered by other major distribution platforms.

Why some people dislike the Epic Games Store on principle

But not before addressing some of the community's concerns about the platform. You may not agree that Epic's financial strategy is anti-competitive, but restricting games to a certain platform, even those that were crowd-funded and promised to users on other marketplaces, is objectively not consumer-friendly.

Epic has also faced criticism for its EULA and suspected data collection. The original license agreement allowed the company a lot of liberties in managing and selling user-created content, and it was also claimed that the app gathered more information than it should have when importing Steam friends lists.

The launcher itself

The first impression is actually quite good. The app looks modern, with the same UI design as the web version of the store. It provides access to this marketplace directly, allowing you to browse for titles and purchase them without opening a web browser.

The sidebar provides quick access to your library, friends list and the Unreal Engine, and the overall interface layout is very intuitive.

However, the Home screen isn't particularly well though-out. While it includes a quick game launcher and shows your online friends, these functions are relegated to the right side of the UI, with most of the space being taken up by the featured game and latest news. This wouldn't be an issue if you could customize the Home screen or select a different start page, but you can't.

Game-related features

When it comes to organizing and tracking games, things could be better. Filtering and sorting options are extremely limited, you can't categorize titles or hide them from your library, and you can't add non-Epic games.

The launcher tracks your playtime, but achievements are not supported, and this is a very big drawback considering all of its main competitors offer this feature.

Even grabbing screenshots isn't possible. It feels like a lot of the app's features are still being developed, but it's been long enough since the launcher's release that we really should be seeing more progress.

Community features

Unfortunately, things don't get better for Epic here. As far as interacting with your friends or the community goes, your options are incredibly limited. Text chat is basic at best, and voice chat isn't supported. You can at least add friends from Steam of Facebook, provided they have linked their accounts as well.

While an offline mode has been added since launch, there is no option to remain online but appear invisible to your friends, a feature that even Blizzard added to their launcher recently, following numerous requests from users.

A launcher you have to use, not one you necessarily want to

That's what it boils down to. The current state of the launcher and the Epic Store is probably the main reason many people are unhappy with the company's exclusivity deals. Other distribution platforms offer better stores and desktop apps, but we don't have the option to use them for certain games. Epic may be a better choice for developers, owing to them taking a smaller share of the profits, but it's certainly not a better choice for users.

To be fair, the Epic Game Launcher has evolved a lot over the past year, but not as quickly as it should have given the company's vast financial resources. It's certainly not terrible, but it should be a lot better if it aims to dethrone Steam, Origin, or even GOG.
