      I played it primarily solo and enjoyed it quite a bit, but I’m a gigantic Dune fan and of these types of games. It has some interesting mechanics, a well crafted world, does a few unique things and has a good progression system. The base building also has enough freedom and depth that it felt like a fun creative outlet.

      Pretty much what the other poster said, but wanted to add it feels like Dune while playing through the story.

      Never got to the highest tier but like t5 (unless they added more? But basically 1 below end tier).

      It’s a survival game with Dune mechanics. Actually the story wasn’t too bad either.

      Ended up on a server that was taken offline so just gathered up crap and moved but never logged in after. I spent over 60hours still on it, but I play slow. Never actually interacted with anyone else except a bit of the auction house.

        T6 is stuff from the Deep Desert and end-game dungeons.

        T5 is duralanium (aluminum + jasmium alloy), the best you can get from Hagga Basin.

          Yup sounds right, only played in the basin. Had zero interest in PvP. Even avoided crash sites till I had no other choice, then they were empty anyways heh.

              Just the other day? Then hope you’ve been enjoying it, I think it’s as close to being on Dune ever in a game I’ve played, after enjoying the novels so often.

              Just to add for others, the controls always felt decent, not too janky but still some issues. A lot of the jank was closer to release as well. But hopping on a cliff to climb, or jumping off when needed and running felt relatively smooth.

              Stay off the sand unless required, and you’ll have a vehicle to be on sand minimally when the time is right. Though only heard of one person trying to cross from starting area without a vehicle, can’t recall the outcome but can assume.
