All-out combat on Arrakis: a multiplayer scenario
Diving into the Intense Sands of 'Dune: Awakening,' a Multiverse Adventure
Delve into the sprawling Sci-Fi epic of our era, "Dune," where rival noble houses vie for control on the desolate Arrakis planet. "Dune: Awakening," crafted by Funcom, reimagines the Dune saga by erasing the birth of our central character, Paul Atreides.
Tread the hostile sands with countless others online, attempting to endure scorching heat, merciless sandstorms, and conquer the exclusive spice - native only to Arrakis - to ensure your faction's power.
Watch Out for Sandworms
These Dune-like, monstrous sandworms represent an unpredictable danger. Capable of annihilating player characters entirely, they rob you of your hard-earned inventory. Strangely enough, some online footage hints at players actually mounting sandworms, contrary to the intended rules of the game.
Survival, Quests, Base Building, and More
"Dune Awakening" weaves together aspects of MMOs, such as "World of Warcraft," and survival games like "Valheim." As you rally resources and technological advancements to expand your base, you'll accomplish quests and uncover hidden territories. Characters evolve as they accrue experience and acquire new equipment.
Notably, the game’s monetization model: A one-time purchase of around 50 Euros covers the game, while additional content is released via free and paid downloadable content, rather than using in-game purchases or subscriptions.
Professions, Skill Systems, Combat Mechanics, and Exploration
The game embraces an assortment of playable classes, including Benages Trooper (combat specialists), Menet Swordmasters (master melees fighters), and Planetologists (experts in exploration and resource gathering). Each class offers unique spins on combat and survival strategies.
Characters develop via a complex skill system featuring both active and passive abilities, as well as a flexible skill tree to customize your play style. For example, melee combat necessitates precision, timing, and exploits an auto-lock feature, making every encounter an intriguing battle.
Spice plays a pivotal role in your in-game progression, supercharging your abilities and characters.
Exploring Arrakis presents a visually beautiful yet hazardous terrain, with deep deserts, colossal sandstorms, and unexpected sandworm encounters. Social hubs allow you to interact with other players and plan your next move amidst the sands.
Server architecture separates the game into smaller-sized regions, including the Hagab Basin, offering vast living spaces for the massive multiplayer environment. Each zone presents unique quests and challenges to keep gameplay fresh.
Discover an incredible fusion of gadgets and technology as you navigate the treacherous landscapes on your futuristic gadgetry, crafted to endure theatile conditions of Arrakis. With the entertainment value of quests, social interactions, and combat mechanics, immerse yourself in the engrossing Dune: Awakening universe, where you can also participate in professions ranging from Benage Trooper to Planetologist.
