Control the Spice. Control the Universe.

Arrakis. Dune. Desert Planet. Raise your banner above the vast wasteland before you. As the Great Houses of the Landsraad marshal their forces and their spies, whom will you influence, and whom will you betray? A tyrannical Emperor. The secretive Bene Gesserit. The shrewd Spacing Guild. The ferocious Fremen of the Deep Desert. The power of the Imperium can be yours, but war is not the only way to claim it.

Dune: Imperium blends deck-building and worker placement in a deeply thematic new strategy game where the fate of the Empire hangs on your decisions. Will you seek political allies or rely upon military might? Economic strength or subtle intrigues? A council seat… or a sharpened blade? The cards are dealt. The choice is yours. The Imperium awaits.

Ratings and reviews

The AI is insurmountable, I swear. It feels less like 4 players against each other, and more like a 1v1 where the AI gets 3 different roles to play. The amount of times I have noticed the AI making detrimental moves that harm both me and themselves, just for a different opponent to win is insane. None of these moves are justified and don't resemble a game with human players. Online, there are players claiming to win %90 of the time, but I find that incredibly hard to believe.

The game itself is great, and the UI is well designed, but the app has some issues. It will sometimes freeze, then when you reconnect it makes you watch all the animations you missed while you were disconnected, meaning your turn gets skipped again because you can't take an action while the animations are playing, and then you get kicked for not taking a turn.

Only could give it four stars. Great game, and great idea to adapt it to digital. Tutorial is solid. However, it's a card game app, and most cars game apps have easier ways, on mobile, to just... browse your hand, or flick between the cards. There isn't any option to do this. To read a card, you always have to press and hold on it. If you want to read the next card, now you press and hold on that. After that, if you drag accidentally, can't read it, now you're trying to play it?
