Developed by the creators of Northgard, this real-time 4X strategy game unfolds in the Dune universe. You step into the shoes of a leader seeking to dominate the planet Arrakis through diplomacy or force while competing for control of the spice, the most valuable resource in the universe.

Select the faction that best suits your playstyle and customize it by choosing councilors who can enhance its strengths and minimize its weaknesses. To control this planet, you can use various strategies, such as war, economics, political influence, or cunning.

Indeed, you’ll be able to send spies into your enemies’ ranks to gather valuable information. Vote in the Landsraad to support your faction and take control of new regions with your army to exploit their resources. However, acts of war can have political repercussions that may hinder your progress. 

Shiro Games has also added various game modes. Conquest mode lets you play as a major house and complete various objectives. You can also take part in 2v2 matches, free-for-all battles, or team up against AI factions.
