It’s even worse, it’s a survival MMO. But this is exactly this shit i expected when i heard the IP was handed over to (Anti)Funcom company, one of the worst game companies out there that for some reason take great settings and turn it into at best cosmetic reskins of the most generic games out there.
Dune is great universe but holy shit it has absolute bad luck to computer games, at least in last quarter of a century. Best Dune game out there is mod for Civ 4.
Ironically, Conan Exiles is probably one of the most fully featured, complete, and interesting survival games out there. Still a gd mess, but there’s stuff to do.
i really don’t know much about Funcom other than they made the longest journey (which im still playing it’s a heck of a long journey let me tell you that). where did they go wrong?
Well i like strategies and rpg the most so i pay attention to that and i never played Longest Journey though i heard a lot of praises (seriously last p&c adventure i played and enjoyed was i think Syberia 1)

Conan. Exiles is one of the most boring mmo i ever played, and then they made strategy game which was so generic even they forgot it soon after. Well to be fair Dune: Spice Wars is passable, but they only published it and it is also generic, the Dune setting is superficial as hell there.
Originally it was just a clone of Northgard by the same studio, although it’s starting to outgrow those roots a bit at this point. Game is mid as hell, though.
HW 1 is a nearly perfect game. I picked it up on a whim as a birthday present from an EB games at the mall when it first came out just because I thought the box art and description were cool and god damn did it live up to expectations.
the first mistake was making an MMO in the year of our lord 2024.

The Dune RTS seems pretty decent
The old ones from 90’s sure, but the new one is very mediocre and it’s just a reskin.
A reskin of what? I’m enjoying it
Northgard
Haven’t played that, kinda checked out of Viking settings

The first Homeworld game captures a Dune-esque vibe in the music and the scale even if the story is very different.

Yes, and Desert of Kharak also tried something like that, but the game was not good.
I liked emperor battle for dune. But it seems to only run on windows XP
A dune mod for desserts of karaoke would have been cool
Oh yes, Emperor was cool, pity it isn’t even on GOG.
I’ve been playing of old PC games lately. What’s the Civ4 dune mod called? 👀
Dune Wars. Though it recieved Villeneuve update recenty which i didn’t played and i can’t attest for that.
