Open Dune 2

Overview

The story of Dune is old despite having recently produced two major feature-length films, but the games continue to be played among fans and enthusiasts. This game is a sequel to the original Dune title and is considered one of the first real-time strategy games ever created. As one of the three Houses, you have access to resources and forces that you must use to explore Dune and harvest spice. Of course, the High Command is only concerned with production and doesn't mind if Houses declare war on each other; with the power that the spice yields, your House needs to be ready for a long, drawn-out battle.

Gameplay and Experience

Dune 2 is a 2D top-down real-time strategy game set in the Dune universe where you build your forces and facilities using the mouse. To interact with the various elements, move the cursor over them and click the Left Mouse Button. You can command units by clicking on them, selecting an action, and then a target. The goal is to take control of Arrakis and, therefore, the spice trade. If you fail to appease High Command or are conquered by another House, the game will end. Before you begin, you'll get to choose between one of three Houses: The noble Atreides, the deceptive Ordos, or the ruthless Harkonnen. Each House has strengths and weaknesses that will be revealed as you play. When you pick your house, your advisor (Mentat) will tell you your goal and set you on how to fulfill it. You'll start on a small plot of land on Arrakis with essential resources and a few units. From there, you need to start building facilities like harvesting, units, power, and water. Each thing you construct or summon will cost you Credits, which you must present to the High Command periodically. To earn credits, you need to harvest spices, which can be done by building refineries and finding spice fields. While you try to maintain your operations, you'll be attacked by forces from the other Houses or Arrakis. If your facilities are attacked, they will need to be repaired or rebuilt if they're destroyed. Defeated units will need to be replaced by reinforcements. Your units must explore the region, discover new locations, and defend your operations. Keep harvesting and appeasing the High Command to succeed.
