Algorithmes fonds ch.... 2-3H de jeu et en 30sec tu peu recommencer...

G'day.

55 bucks is a bloody theft.

"A good state" is not a finished game, and it will never be finished sadly. Dune Spice Wars; A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Disappointment.

Talking to a dev should make you feel like you're getting some feedback, not being told "What are you expecting" from a game that is not done when you have genuine complaints.

It is pretty bare bones ... No cinematics, no license for the movie characters (pictures, voices).
The gameplay is super repetitive. You start, you slowly expand due to the limited resource of "authority". You meet the CPU Factions. You wait for the max military tech to have the biggest possible army. Then you attack, capture a village which takes forever. Then you wait some for your "authority" to increase again, the you attack another village until you get close to the enemy main base. That's is with some minor variations: sometimes no spcice, sometimes no normal units, just mercs etc.

And the sandworms are super boring as well. Maybe for 10 Euro this is a bit entertaining, but the 30 hours I put into this represents just the Atreides "campaign" - about 8 maps of the stuff from above. Seriously, 60% of the time I had to wait for stuff to generate or a village to flip

This game really ought to be better than it is. A couple expansions ala old school RTS games would probably get it where it needs to be. Contrary to many here, I like the slower pace of the game, it allows (in theory) strategy to come out a bit more than it does on your typical tactics-heavy RTS games. Unfortunately there just isn't enough variety in unit types, build paths etc to make it really stick. Damn shame...

Overall thats not a bad game, especially for someone familiarised with Nothgard but unfortunately i found out that developers support rusia in war vs Ukraine plus ofc Ukrainian localisation is missed. There are a lot of same games on a market, this one doesnt worth attention for sure

Bless the Maker and His water. We Fremen have a saying God created Arrakis to train the faithful.

This game is fantastic. Fun, innovative and immersive. The developers did there homework on the works of Herbert. The settings and themes are quintessentially Dune.
The gameplay is similar to other 4X games such as Civilization but not exactly. That's the closest, easiest comparison. The aim of a typical game is to rise above your rivals, in which there are multiples ways to do so. Militarily, Economically, Politically etc. There are a good number of factions to choose from all faithful to the Dune universe. All of them have a unique way to play with their strengths and weaknesses.
The graphics are ok, you view the game from a zoomed out perspective so they're not so important. The voice acting and music are of a very high quality. There's definitely room for deep and niche strategies, I however play exclusively single player. The enemy computer can be challenging but not difficult to game. They also aren't subjected to resource deficits like players are. That is a bit of a let down.

In short, this game is definitely worth your time and money. For dedicated fans of Dune and to people first encountering this franchise.

Fun game

Fun game

Fun 4x, my intro to the genre after my friend showed me the Dune movies, will continue to enjoy and probably branch out into other 4x's, maybe give Stellaris a try.

Incredible multiplayer RTS
