exatreide Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 This is exciting stuff! It's been decades since the last dune RTS. I'm pumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 The website doesn't show much either. Only 9 screenshots at this moment. Which makes me wonder if this is truly going to be a RTS. I did spot the 4X remark. Which often refers to board and card game mechanics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Reddit saying https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/rcya9h/dune_spice_wars_announcement_trailer/ that it looks similar to NorthGuard game, same devs. I played it some and liked it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 They've got an FAQ out that answers a bunch of questions. For those interested in the game it is worth a read:https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1605220/view/3146327276141395840 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Quote Is it an RTS or a 4X? It is both. The game is real time, but the pace is slower than in a typical RTS (and you can pause and fast forward). The game also features exploration, territory control, economic growth, combat, politics and spying, features that make it a true 4X game but do not detract from the core RTS experience that players would expect. They got my attention now!! And I like the fact that Atreides is going to be green. Afterall, green is the opposite of red. Let's keep our fingers crossed this project doesn't fall. I like the graphical details. And the fact they approach more of an animated style as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake00 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Exciting stuff!!!! Sounds like Imperium Galactica and Sins of a Solar Empire style pause and fast forward options. Edited January 23, 2022 by Blake00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X3M Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I see that a base is upgradable. Just like in the mobile version of C&C. That saddens me a bit. Then I see the various types of infantry. And their descriptions. I like the Rangers. They are exactly like how I had my Rangers (same name too) in my personal board game. A simple somewhat faster and longer range version of the riflemen..... Oh, the troopers are melee units. Ok I simply had more steps then. Not sure about the RPS system of the game and if there are clear differences in body and weapon mechanics. But the Wardens look like good fodder or meat units. I hope this holds true. Because different infantry that have the same weapon type and armor type. Yet having different value's on them. Make micromanagment in squad design very interesting. I hope this holds true. Hmmmm, only infantry so far. Let's wait and see. The game sure looks and feels unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X3M Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Not sure. But don't the Harkonnen look like the Atreides in regards of squad compositions? I suspect that they are copies, and only the graphics differ. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 I wasn't paying attention to the entire Twitch stream but I did hear them say something about there not being many vehicles, at least not in the initial game release. I wonder if the variation between the different factions will come more from building or diplomacy than with units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Smugglers! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1605220/view/3137324424297459624 I think they were sorta in the other games? Or books?

Andrew Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I'll be holding off until fall at least, busy with work and $37 CAD (I rarely spend more than $10 per game) for early access. Also lots of other games to keep me busy. Steam review is currently 84% which is good. I also own NorthGuard and havn't played much of it, but I did enjoy what I played of it. So I should play more of that first as well since it appears to be most similar to Dune game (same developers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calrid Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Some major bugs, total game freezes, it's just about playable for me, but I have never got anywhere near to completeing a game without it just freezing up and refusing to move, and I have a solid graphics card and a decent gaming PC. That said it is early acces, expect some bugs but atm for me it's just broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamers who wanna watch reviews should always go for those that aren't most known by the general search. Two good sites i recommend: https://www.gameinformer.com/ & https://www.pcgamesn.com/ Edited May 2, 2022 by Fedaygin Added important info.
