Game company profile: Troika Games
Troika Games was a video game development company founded in 1998 by Jason Anderson, Leonard Boyarsky, and Tim Cain, who were key developers on the critically acclaimed game "Fallout" at Interplay Productions. The name "Troika" is a reference to the trio of founders.
Based in California, Troika Games was known for developing role-playing games (RPGs) with deep storytelling, complex character development, and immersive worlds. Their games often featured dark, mature themes and innovative gameplay mechanics. Despite their relatively small size, Troika gained a reputation for delivering high-quality RPG experiences.
Despite their reputation for creating ambitious and well-crafted games, Troika Games faced financial challenges, partly due to the critical success but limited commercial success of their titles. The company closed its doors in 2005, shortly after the release of Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, leaving behind a legacy of beloved and influential RPGs.
