Dune: Imperium

My favourite board game ever and an awesome digital implementation. Have many hours on the physical game and on the mobile version, love that the DLC's transfer between platforms.

I loved the board game so much I bought the video game. Was surprised to see how polished this game is, and how good the AI is for what feels like such a complex system. Probably the best board game I've played in general, and the best board game-> video game adaptation I've played too. I will say the Rise of Ix DLC feels necessary for what to me is the "full" game experience, but even the base game is fantastic.

Despite what the dev says, its quite amusing that the AI opponents 'always' manage to pull out a last second victory, just about every single game. Its also amusing that practically every time you enter round 10 tied, or close, the AI always gets favorable draws and you get stuck with the most useless cards from your deck to lose the game almost lopsidedly. i also dont like how you cant choose the character you want to play all the time, as all the characters are not available each round and the selection appears to be randomized from game to game. A required third party account to play online was the final straw. Ive played the board game extensively and its balanced much better than this poor excuse for a port. I'll stick with the board game, never supporting this dev again until they fix the blatantly obvious balance issues that many others have also pointed out. Uninstalling.

Great card game and really friendly UI.

Gold standard implementation of a board-game, I would say it is a better experience than the board game in totality. 9.5/10 The challenges are fantastic addition. Music is immersive. Sunk 200+ hours into this with my friends. The QOL features are quite lacking. E.g. Game-play statistics, match history, replays, etc.

Really good adaptation of the board game and with immortality and rise of ix its even better all we need is the updated board and rules from uprising and it will truly be perfect.

This game works great. It has an easy initial learning curve of the mechanics. You can develop several strategies to win, take care of early-mid-late game in various ways, and overall always discover improvements to your playstyle the more you understand it. It is the kind of game that you can play over and over again and gets increasingly satisfying. AI could be harder on max, but you can always play vs a special kind of rules called House Hagal (which can offer more difficulty) or Online. The Challenges are fun and a great way to better understand the game's flexibility.

Great digital adaptation of the board game. Being able to play dune imperium whenever you want rocks!

Faithful to the board game. One of the best Board Games ever made. Highly Recommend.

It has the occasional bug or graphic glitch but it is very fun if you are the builder/strategist type of gamer. If you are looking for RPG or Action, I would go somewhere else. If you like building a character, improving stats and levels and your card/powers deck and combining a good three man team for a strategy battle. This game is great and it has decent storytelling with some okay character interaction. I have completed the games storylines and still come back to it.

I played original board game and own Uprising. I eagerly wait for digital version for Uprising too. The game is exceptionally well adapted and just so much fun to play. An it's on mobile too and just as good. In any screen factor.

One of my favorite board games. It's a good digital implementation. They finally released Immortality, so now it's totally playable for me. If they add Bloodlines at some point, it will get even better.

One of the best implementation of a board game to a video game, applied to one of the best board games of all time (according to BGG). If you have ever expressed any interest in deckbuilding or worker placement, get this. It marries both PERFECTLY.

Prestingly implemented digital copy of a masterpiece from the boardgame world.

Now that it finally has immortality along with it... the game is finally what I've been playing with my group for the last couple years

I very rarely rate games, but this is the best digital board game adaptation I've ever seen in over a decade of playing them. Dire Wolf hit it out of the park with this one.

For a Long time Dune Fan this is a great entry in it's vast media. Playing Dune games from the past, having a drought for years, this game is challenging and thematically fitting. Highly recommended for board game players and fans of Dune alike. The presentation is very nice.

Dune: Imperium is one of my favorite board games, and I have 100s in my collection. There is nothing much original about it's design, but it is an exquisite mix of worker-placement, deck building, and player-vs-player conflict driven by a straight-forward intuitive VP system in which each VP is quite granular and quite a big deal. Hidden Intrigue cards allow for dynamic reversals and sudden come-from-behind victories. Not everyone, but many consider the Rise of Ix expansion to elevate the game from very good to incredible. And I'm aligned with that opinion. I haven't been able to play Immortality enough to form a solid opinion, but generally the community feels that one is not as straightforward. I look forward to playing against the AI a lot to form my own take.

Probably one of the best board game to video game adaptations out there! If you love Dune and enjoy worker placement board games with a strong emphasis on strategy and deep mechanics, this will not disappoint. I also recommend both of the DLCs available at the time of writing this review.

great port of the game, runs very smooth. Good netcode, most of the time I can join the game again in case my internet fails.

I've mostly played this on Ipad but I own it and all the expansions/dlcs on both steam, ios, and over the table. Played hundreds and hundreds of games. Watched tons of youtube to get better. Made me interested in the books and rewatching the movies. 10/10

Great adaptation of one of the greatest board games of all time to a digital platform. Brilliant game. Nearly 400 hours in and I can't envision me ever stopping

10/10 same as the physical board game. Lots of fun with friends and others. Very good strategy and critical thinking!

Good recreation of the board game. Wish theyd add features faster (uprising, bloodlines)

Solid game play, good interface. High skill game with enough random factors to mix things up

The best board game adaptation I've played digitally. This is an easy pick up if you like the tabletop version. I wish these developers were working on all sorts of other non-Dire Wolf board games as well.

Solid strategy game with many paths to victory. The hybridized worker placement, deck builder works well, and makes every game a slightly different experience for great replayability.

Did not realise this was just a 1:1 of a board game in digital form. Honestly? It's incredibly technical on the jargon, the tutorial is a nightmare, it's visually and interactively boring, and would be much better as just an in person experience. If you love board games, or you've played the board game irl, I'm sure it's for you, but it's definitely not for me.

I'll just leave the nature of the game to the dilettantes, it's all over BBG. As for the localization through this media over 430hrs gameplay, 1. wholesome ai over all, but it's capability differs from leaders pretty significantly, in draft mode sometimes the ai might chose underpowered leaders which is not advanced. Due to these downsides I'd like to ban some of the leaders when facing ai only. 2. ranking system is really baffling, you have to wait like forever. 3. In game downtime desperately needs to be shortened, some of the players think like forever, i really couldn't stomach, maybe it's lag but many are fucking turtling all the fucking time, even first round, what are they doing during others' agent turns? burning the thread down to the very end, which combined with the former point makes ai games comparatively amusing. 4. Lobby mode with friends could be great, with lower price though. maybe a bundle for 4 with discount is more acceptable. 5. the visualisation of the game could be better. 6. RL board game players may fasten understanding of the mechanism.

This is a boardgame that I played once that made me think "I really wish I could play this a lot more often, because there is so much to master", and this gives you exactly that: Capable AI opponents, online play, both realtime and turn-based, seasonal challenges and a really slick interface. If you have never played this before, it also contains a really good tutorial that will have you gain full insight in the abstract play area in less than 20 minutes.

While Dune board game is localized into Russian, developers missed chance to translate game for 250M gamers, including those who do not live in Russia.

This implementation of dune is very good, very smooth to play

Endless fun with this game, a never ending experience.

Great way to play an amazing board game solo or online.

Best Competitive Strategic Card Game Available!

10/10 Boardgame with perfect digital adaptation

Very fun game with a lot of strategic depth

Dune imperium is my favorite board game of all time so this might be a little biased, but this digital version of the game is a really smooth and the controls all make sense, the multiplayer community is booming and quite competitive, and the highlights for me are the solo game modes: the AIs can be a bit challenging, but the real challenge lies in the challenges that gives unique rule twists that really tests how good you fare off bots with enormous advantages. The skirmish mode is also quite interesting although I’m not that invest in it. Finally, a really big W for the developers is they allow cross perform sync and once you purchase an expansion here it will also show up in your mobile or other versions of the game, you don’t need to purchase them twice. Especially when more expansions and possibly DI: uprising are coming, this is quite a refreshing experience that should be applauded.

Well implemented board game adaptation.

Great combination of deck building and worker placement.

Great table top and digital game!

Good game, can't wait for uprising.

Great game if you know the boardgame.

great engine, elegantly designed.
