TL;DR - it's playable and nice if you like Dune. It is NOT like the Dune RTS at all. Only get it on heavy discount. I really like this game - to a point. I love the Dune universe. I love 4x games. This is a really nice puddle in terms of content depth. It feels like it was under-funded and barely a strategy game. It's a little bit "strategy game for dummies" which is nice at first and can be nice to keep things a little simplified, but it also means it is poorly balanced in a few areas. The research trees are barely research trees. There really isn't a lot of unit diversity. It seems like strategy shift is mainly based on who you are playing as. My biggest gripe is that it seems to take multiple months (in game time) to destroy an opponent's base even with overwhelming force AND using the intel jobs. This has put me into a weird stalemate multiple times on missions that require me to destroy the base. I did the math - most bases have 30k HP (there are a few mission specific bases with 50k HP) Doing around 200 damage every 10s means I have to spend 25min of RL time (or ~45min for the 50k base) standing in one place and watching a health bar go down. This is on 2x game time too so those times are doubled if you are playing at normal speed. The entire time, the enemy can just summon endless guys to fight me for some mysterious reason (because AI logic I guess). At first, I thought I was missing something, but when you have researched everything, built every building, have too many resources to use, and have a full army that's a problem with the game.

Got the game, because I wanted something Dune related... but holy dang this game is broken. It is playable to a degree, but it has a lot of problems here and there. Played the "campaign" and got given some missions which are impossible to do, like destroy the enemy base, specifically, without other win conditions being available... Yet that is one of the hardest and most time intensive things to do. They put the enemy base as far as possible on the map so I cannot even get there in reasonable time... And this is a timed mission, with reduced army cap! The main base basically takes 1 damage per shot, since it has 10 armor and 3500 HP... There was the other mission, same with eliminating a base, where they drop you in the middle of enemy territory, where they already have 5-6 villages at game start and a hero deployed... How can I take any villages when I have no economy and the enemy reproduce units over and over? Ridiculous. There is also a very major annoyance with the AI, as when you outnumber and overpower them, they start retreating units to the nearest village and just spasming out there, without fighting back, so you just pick them off with no damage being taken yourself. It's as if those units are being given constant retreat commands into a singular point, preventing them from doing anything else. I'd rather the enemy would take a last stand and at least inflict damage onto my army. Note that I played only on the hardest difficulty. Some matches were great when they worked as intended, but you never know which mission is going to be rigged from the start... So in essence, I'm not sure if you can fully complete the campaign mode. Maybe if you have meta-knowledge on which missions to avoid, then probably it is doable. Skirmish mode is most likely still playable, you might only need to turn of the market economy victory condition, since the AI cheats on higher difficulties with resources, so they just spam CHOAM shares and get ahead of you. Lots of other issues to talk about, but I'd rather not waste so much time. Very long and slow game, matches take hours.

Here is the most honest review I can manage. The game relies on wasting your time to an insane degree. No matter what you try, some factions, to beat the campaign, must destroy the opponent's main base. This sounds like a simple task, but imagine taking 15 minutes out of your life, with carefully managing an army striking a building that fires splashing rockets at them (cannot disrupt it) and has more life than anything you've beat so far. You strike at it for 10-15 seconds, retreat, heal up, attack again, and so on. It's endless, it's stupid, it's pointless and it completely breaks the balance of the game, if there is any. You're playing 2 different games - 1 to beat the enemy to 99%, a complete different (boring, tedious) game to beat their main base.

It's a very good, very unique 4x/RTS kind of thing, with multiple victory conditions boardgame-style in a 4 player FFA skirmish. The conquest mode is "nice" and it does echo the Northard's Conquest mode, but this one is only single player (for good reason). I wouldn't say it is as good as a proper SP campaign, but if you particularly like one of the factions, you will enjoy buffing their quirks. Patching has been halted since the end of 2025, which is a huge bummer, especially from someone that played A LOT of it (though SP). Also, for how many cool design and upgrade things are in the game that I love, some other design choices (like no A-move in current year RTS) can leave you wanting. But there is a minor community patch for skirmish, or conquest (depending what you like most), that's very easy to do, that does patch some minor things and makes the game slightly "extra" for single player for either mode. (More quests, some old quests restored for fun, minor buffs or nerfs to particular faction mechanics and councilors etc.)

My review of this game is so-so, but there isnt a middle option. It starts fun but starts to get boring after a while. But then again i havent played it that much. I love Northguard better tbh, has more clans at least to play.

For me it is the best Dune experience. You have multiple options to win the game. Economy, politics, military dominance, spying... it's Dune at its core

I know 'wars' is in the title but this is another one of those 'million mile wide, one foot deep' games that feels more like an overconfident battler than a strat game. Win conditions are very arbitrary, there isnt much you can do to prevent a prestige or economic victory of your opponents other than just eliminating them. And combat is not particularly satisfying since tactics are just 'choose 1/2 of 4 and right click to kill'. I risked it all on the nuke only for it to do like 20% damage to a base it look me 4 tries to finally defeat. Overall feels overambitious and poorly developed.

This game had so much potential ruined by player-griefing. It's no wonder it died. It needed a healthy player base, but when devs do not care that players are griefing in the ladder, it turns away the few players that do play. If they're going to reboot this game, I suggest they find a way to prevent friends from joining the same game and queing in the ladder. Ganking is such a problem. Allow players to report other players for griefing.
