The game is releasing today in early access on Steam. Any intentions of trying it? I'm a big fan of the Dune universe and those RTS games from sierra are some of my favorite games ever.

Impressions and Early review seem pretty positive so far.

A serviceable RTS lacking content but it has a Dune coat of paint.

Ouch! 'out now' despite it still not being out on Steam yet (at least for me)? Got me hopes up for nothing.

Here's hoping it's good enough to rival Dune 2 & 2000, and that it's not another Emperor: Battle for Dune!

I guess "out today" would have been more accurate. Dune 2000 was amazing. I really like Emperor as well. What didn't you like about that one?

The best we can get, it seems.

Well i'm a sucker for Dune so i might try it out. But i would prefer a good old rts eith vehicles and base building.

It looks a little bare bones but I have to learn Stellaris from scratch if I don't play it solidly so maybe not a bad thing.

I'll try it for sure.

 

[SJRB]

I'm not feeling it, unfortunately.

"Lacking content" is to be expected of an early access title.

Where are the Sardaukar

 

[Lord Panda]

Actually looks pretty solid for an early access title.

 

[SJRB]

It's up on Steam now, and it's 30 bucks....

Seems like a reasonable price to me.

A 4X real-time strategy game from the developers of the critically acclaimed Northgard. Set in Frank Herbert's groundbreaking Dune universe, you must lead your faction and battle for control and dominance over the harsh desert planet of Arrakis.

Spice is the most valuable resource in the universe. The spice extends life, expands consciousness, and makes interstellar travel possible. Found only on Arrakis, it is sought by the most influential forces in the universe. Play as one of several factions, including House Atreides, House Harkonnen, the Smugglers, and the native Fremen, and compete for power over Dune and the spice.

Scan the landscape for wormsign or risk losing your troops and spice harvesters to titanic sandworms who will burst through the dunes to swallow and devour them whole. Crush your opponents in combat, best them through political intrigue, and undermine them with your network of illusive spies.

Control the spice, control the universe.

Played a couple hours of this last night and really loving it so far. I literally know nothing about the Dune movies or lore but this is pretty great.
Really cool blend of 4X and RTS.
