I would say it's as of now the best 4X strategy title you could find. It's split between equally managing your military force, your economic power, diplomacy, a democratic voting system that affects all players on the map equally, and espionage. All of these are equally advanced and each one of them can turn the game in your favor, or in the enemy's. Feels extremely complex but also very fun and intuitive. One of the best strategy games you could find. Also, as a big big bonus, if you're a fan of the books, you will be thrilled to find out that it perfectly encapsulates the vibe and atmosphere of the universe.
Fun, but has a steep learning curve. The game is a macro-level strategy game, much more focused on managing your resources and scouting than micro-managing real time unit combat. I watched a lot of Youtube gameplay videos before buying or playing, and I'm glad I did. The game has a steep learning curve and is not intuitive. I love it, but if I had played without learning from experienced players it would have been frustrating - even on the lowest difficulty. The game has five ways to win. When you're starting out, I suggest disabling some of the victory conditions. Nothing like thinking you're about to win your first Dune: Spice Wars game ever by hegemony only to lose because someone else managed to hold Governor of Arrakis for thirty days. Or assassinated you.
Feels like the OG Dune RTS games, but on another level. While there's a bit of a learning curve, the game and it's mechanics are very thought out and enjoyable. After over 120 hours of gameplay (from pre-launch to it's current state), here's a few take aways: * Pros: - Each faction have their own playstyle that is different enough to make replay enjoyable and playing against AI or other players challenging. - The use of the Landsrad voting and Agent/spy network adds a whole new level to the game, providing alternative strategies to win. An example would include using a Landsrad vote to penalize a faction with a stronger military or Choam share. The spy network allows for boons to improve troop performance despite lack of numbers or firepower, and can be used both as a means of offense or a deterrent to keep an army from steam rolling over your territories. - the option to pause the game quickly on single player, provides an opportunity for better setup and to react when you get notified of a raid or other important event. - rewards from the campaign mode make continuing the campaign enjoyable and provide additional replayability because of the ways you can tweak your progress to your play style. *Cons: - Challenging. As I said before, it has a steep learning curb and you may find yourself looking at online guides and restarting games over and over until you understand the full mechanics. Because of this, it is not your typical RTS game and each round can take upwards of one to several hours to complete depending on the difficulty and how often you need to pause to strategize. This can make multiplayer difficult especially when you add an AI opponent that can react much faster than you. - Because of the multiple layers of gameplay (physical progression, utilizing the political system, and taking advantage of the spy network), you may be led into a false sense of security only to find out that you have underestimated your opponent. Even worse, you may realize this too late and find yourself getting assassinated because you didn't put enough points into your political tech tree to provide any counter intelligence. - The save system is odd. You can't exit the game without saving and the game automatically saves periodically, making reverting to past progress almost impossible. - Because of the complexity of the game system, it's not something you can rush through easily. Even if you attempt to speed run missions, you have to plot through wisely to progress and at a bare minimum spend hours to get to comfortable balance where you are making enough Solari/Plastisteel, Intelligence, and Influence to feel like you don't have to constantly micromanage to win. The late game does provide some help with this by allowing you to recruit agents or progress tech trees more quickly, but even then, it will take several rounds to accumulate enough influence to expand your rule and complete whatever objective that's needed to progress through that scenario. Because of the influence system, you can't just sweep through the map, you have to be more calculating and the progress of capturing territory can feel painfully slow. Other thoughts: The Main bases have a lot of hit points and can take a long time to destroy - this can be beneficial but also frustrating as you have to have accumulated an extremely large army or constantly bombard the base while resupplying to avoid losing all your troops. Not all factions are created equal. There are some factions that easier to play (like Atreides and Harkonen) while the others can be more nuanced or challenging to play - with abilities that seem lack luster compared to the main factions. I also feel the variety of units could be improved as even in the late game, you only have access to a small amount of ground and mechanical/aerial units. I think it would also be helpful if you could have the option of providing orders to patrol an area or keep within a territory (as the AI likes to target your units and have them chase them back to their base - losing health and supply along the way). Overall, I still enjoy the game and it still scratches the old school RTS "itch" and if you have the time, you could certainly really get into this game - but be forewarned its not super casual and you have to constantly adjust your play as you go (especially on higher difficulties).
