Glad you liked this one! I played a good 40ish hours through early access. Now that it is out in earnest I plan on picking it up again after i'm done with my Civ 6 Quest.
It definitely gave me the vibes of the original Dune strategy game, with with a Northgard Shiro-like twist. A solid game. If I had played on Normal for the campaign I might not have gotten tired of it as soon, but I am not sad I played it!
great video, man! i've had my eye on this game for some time now, and it's currently on sale so i think i'm gonna grab it. this video helped clear some stuff up, thank you! :)
Not all "easy" ends up being "too easy." Would you have preferred I tried hard and found it too hard? What if I had found normal just right? Would that be equally not credible?
@@strategyforbusypeople To review games i would expect one to be a gamer for a long time with plenty of experience. Someone who starts easy only to discover easy gives off the vibes of an ING journalist who actually has no clue of gaming but that is their job so they write up some garbage. Saying you play on easy and find that the game is so easy it did not really even fight back is only experiencing half the game.
@@GertMega this sounds like a "true Scotsman" argument. I've been playing games for nearly 40 years, starting with a Fairchild, and mention in the review having played both the original Dune 1 as well as Dune 2 games, so it's unclear why you think that means I'm either not a gamer or don't have enough experience. It also sounds like you're saying that someone who doesn't play games on harder difficulty settings also isn't doing it right. That, too, sounds like a bit of a "true Scotsman" argument. But you can't please everyone, and I'm sorry that you found my short, sarcastic, cheeky review to lack credibility.
@@strategyforbusypeople I do not really know what ture scotsman means but it does not really matter if you have played for 1 year or 40 years if you come off as if you do not really know what your are doing or have not played it enough. As a reviewer your presentation honestly matters more the the content. Just look at IGN they give pure garbage reviews that sometimes clearly show that the reviewer does not know what he is talking about, is forced to make a good review or does not even know gaming. Somehow they still have an insane viewership because of their presentation. You could potentially have huge experience, know the game and have played it far more then one could realized, but your presentation of it did not show it.> And yes besides the point, my own biased opinion is that someone who has played video games for 40 years should never even touch easy mode. Especially when after that you critique the AI for being stupid, no kidding it is stupid on easy mode. Easy mode is literally made for people who are playing videogames like once a year or are handicapped IRL physically or mentally. They intentionally destroy the AI on easy modes on all games. Not that i doubt the AI is smart and not stupid on harder difficulties but it is probably smarter. Then you finally say you did not even play on normal or even higher difficulties. I am sorry but that destroys any kind of credibility and is one of the reasons why so many people knowledgeable about IGN hate on them, because they do not even bother to properly play the games that they review.
@@lc6033 I think the graphics are in line with other Shiro titles. They were going for a particular look and feel, and I think they're pretty consistent with that. I can appreciate if you wanted a more photorealistic-type of feel a'la Command and Conquer or something. It's just not that game. But this also isn't GraphicsForBusyPeople e😃
Pretty sure you get fuel cells back when a drone dies/disband. It's the same with water supply and buildings as well.
Oh, wow! I never thought about that and certainly wasn't paying enough attention to verify it. That's good to know for the future!

It was definitely fun. Gave me some of that OG Dune 1 feel with just enough RTS but not a click fest.
I like this format. Keep it up.
Glad to hear it! Let me know if you have any suggestions or requests!
Yoo nice vid and good channel, deserves way more subs, gl with your YT journey
Thanks!
lisan al gaib!!
Reaally nice video, just subscribed
Thank you! Let me know if there's any other games you want to see.
Nice review!
Thanks!
"I started playing on easy mode and discovered the game is too easy?" Well there went the credibility of the review.
Not all "easy" ends up being "too easy."
Would you have preferred I tried hard and found it too hard?
What if I had found normal just right? Would that be equally not credible?

Oh, you didn't like the game? What were you expecting?
@@strategyforbusypeople better graphics and better unit details :(

11 hours ? I have shits that take longer than that, how about 100 hours to even start to know the game before you review it !
100 hours? Ain't nobody got time for that. This is Strategy for Busy People, not Strategy For Dedicated People! 🤣
