Dune - The Battle for Arrakis

Developer: Westwood Studios

Dune - The Battle for Arrakis on the Sega Mega Drive compresses the pioneering real-time strategy of Westwood into a top-down, console-friendly experience. Players harvest spice, build bases, and command unique units for Atreides, Harkonnen or Ordos across a harsh Arrakis map. The game emphasizes map control, economy management, and tactical positioning under a steep, old-school difficulty curve. Simplified menus and adapted controls create a more arcade-like pace, but challenge and replay value remain strong. Nostalgic sound cues, resource tension and asymmetric factions make it a memorable strategy outing for retro console collectors.
