FIRST TIME Playing Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis
3Join us as we try our hands at the grandfather of the Real Time Strategy Genre for the very first time! We're no strangers to the likes of Command and Conquer, Warcraft, and Age of Empires, but those games may not exist if it weren't for this week's game: Dune 2.
This is the gameplay portion of our full episode where we review Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis. You can listen to the full episode on any podcast platform, or it here: https://youtu.be/Yfp9XfDqztM
Every so often we get a licensed video game based on a movie or book which is more than just a quick cash-grab. Goldeneye might be the best example of taking a license and using it to push the gaming medium forward, but there's another game which helped shape the entire genre of Real Time Strategy.
Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis (also known simply as Dune 2, or Dune 2: The Building of a Dynasty) was Westwood Studio's first attempt at an RTS, and it laid the groundwork for what would eventually become Command & Conquer.
