Dune II The Building Of A Dynasty (1993)(Avalon Interactive) Game

This title is a real-time strategy game based off of the science fiction novel Dune by Frank Herbert. After selecting which House you want to associate with (Atreides, Harkonnen, or Ordos), you are put in command of your armies and oversee your constructions as you would in any other rts title. The controls are a bit awkward and slow you down in terms of efficiency; instead of just clicking a unit and then clicking the destination you desire it to be, you have to select a choice from its own menu what you want it to do and then where- adding that step is kinda weird and difficult to get used to, I think. The storyline is pretty good, whether or not you might be familiar with Herbert’s novels, but the gameplay graphics are sorta rough and gameplay itself isn’t altogether as comprehensive as you would like. The internet says it was a successful release, but I’m not too sure it’s all that great.
