Dune: The Spice Wars it’s him new real-time strategy game Shiro Games there Funcom. The former is known for games like Evoland, Northgard oh War Tales while the second developed Conan Exiles there Metal: Hellsinger.
This new game is based, as its name suggests, in the universe of Dunesscience fiction novel written by Frank Herbert in 1965.
To start, You should keep in mind that the game is in Early Access on Steam so there is still a long way to go.. in this version we only have one mode available to play, quick play. Later we will have a campaign and a multiplayer mode for us to play online.
Before starting the game
Aside from the lack of modes, the game is quite advanced. We have a translation in Spanish and we can touch the graphic settings quite completelyIt also supports ultra-wide resolutions. In the playable themes the game is complex and it shows that it is quite elaborate and well thought out, what really needs to be tweaked are some graphical errors, balancing and the addition of the campaign and multiplayer.
When we start a new game, we will have to choose our faction
By being clear about our choices, you can either launch the game or configure several things in the same way before. We can fix the map size, sandworm activity, frequency of sandstorms, etc..
We can too establish the factions of our rivals as well as the difficulty of their AI.
The game interface has somewhat complex elements
Once in the game, it can be overwhelming at first, especially if you have had no contact with the Dune universe. At the top left we have:
- Our faction and advisorsso that we don’t forget.
- The spice we produce as well as the sale price and our reservations.
- The report and the remaining days to pay imperial tax.
- Our Solari available, the money goes.
- The Plascrete we havebuilding material.
- Workforce that we have for free
- fuel tanks available, for vehicles and others.
- The water That we have.
- authority villages must be annexed.
- Our position in Landsraadour political power.
- notifications of the different events.
To produce spices, we need a harvestereven if you have to be careful because the vibrations attract the worms and you will have to step back temporarily. For the Solaris, they can be earned by selling spices or collecting rare metals. For other resources we have several buildings that manage productionfor water there is a moisture trap for example.
We have also a right panel equally useful for our survivallet’s go with its parts:
- The hegemony we havewhich is used to unlock new constructions and more,
- Our enemies and alliesfrom here we can exchange with them.
- The developments we have activewe have to investigate to unlock various things.
- Votewe can use our influence to buy votes for our benefit.
- The spy menuyou never know what surprises await.
Below we simply have the harvesters what we have, ornithoptera to explore and military units. We can create them directly from here without the need to use buildings.
the game itself
Having the interface clear, let’s get to the game. Our goal is to sell as many spices as possible to earn as much money as possible while maintaining control of the area and increasing our influence.
We will have to gradually annex the adjacent villages to be able to exploit the resources of the areaalways being careful not to run out of resources. Everything in this world has a maintenance cost, you always have to take it into account when you go to one territory or another..
From time to time we will have to defend ourselves from the looters and other factions, who have the same goal as us.
From time to time, votes will take place. between the different factionsif we have more influence, we are more likely to come out well. One can vote, for example, to sell the spice 30% more expensive or to increase the military production costs of an enemy, among many other things..
If we plan it well, we will gradually take over the map, gain allies and defeat our enemies. We have already warned you that you will have to play several games to get used to it and be able to be a competent faction.
