Gaming Retrospective - Emperor: Battle for Dune



Dune is one of the more interesting SF universes with many books, movies and games out there in the wild. Dune was one of the first RTS produced and in the 90's Dune series had some of the most popular RTS games. Emperor Battle for Dune tried to accomplish the jump to a new millennium with full 3D graphics, all games before were standard Command&Conquer isometric 2D games. Game was different than the rest, that was obvious, but was the game good or bad. As RTS games from early 2000's go, Battle for Dune was good strategy game worth playing. 




Story is what can be expected from a setting that is based on multiple factions fighting over most valuable resource in the universe called Spice. Highly valuable and unstable it can change and mutate humans exposed to it. Three main houses from Dune universe are fighting it out, aggressive Harkonnen, civil Atreides and mysterious Ordos. Every house has different set of units and buildings tailored for their specific tone, battles are fought in standard C&C manner with resource collecting, base building and upgrading tech for you to destroy your opponents in full 3D. Good old game from 2001. developed by good old Westwood Studios.
