Dune Imperium iOS? ANDROID? STEAM? - a full review of Dune Digital

Ah Dune Imperium, I have returned once more. Now on my phone, your iPhone, your steam account, it's everywhere. Is this the best game, or the worst game of the franchise?
With uprising, immortality, rise of ix, and all the other dune imperium content discussed, now I have delved into the digital realm, looking for answers, feeding addictions. Does this digital board game adaption stand the test or is it just a quick port?

I like your voice over style and it kept me engaged in the narration.

[@seaofpasta]

Thank you! Still experimenting on what people seem to like the most, so your feedback is very much appreciated!

Is it possible to set timer for each players turn?

[@seaofpasta]

Hi friend, that isn't an option yet! But if you're playing with the timer, I find the 90 seconds per turn keeps a pretty decent pace.

bought it, thanks mate

Can you play the physical version solo?

[@seaofpasta]

Hey friend, you can! Buuuuttt... The biggest difference is the AI is replaced by an automated deck with different rules than players. The AI in the digital game follows actual players and is a significantly better experience in my opinion.

I’m new to all this… is imperium a style of card game with different “skins and themes” and this is the “Dune” version?

[@seaofpasta]

Hi Friend, good question! 'Dune Imperium' is it's own game. There isn't an 'Imperium' game, so 'Dune Imperium' is entirely it's own thing.
There are 2 expansions to 'Dune Imperium' called 'Rise of Ix' and 'Immortality', which requires the base 'Dune Imperium'.
There is also a sequel called 'Dune Imperium Uprising, which is its own game, but has the exact same nuts and bolts.
My recommendation is if you can get 4 people together in person, Uprising is your best bet. If you want to dip your toes in, the digital version of' Dune Imperium' is the perfect entry point.

I just started playing on my tablet and its great.

[@seaofpasta]

Ya I'm pleasantly surprised by the tablet/phone implementation, especially since it's the same game but cheaper than the steam version.

[@IrrAe]

You produce really enjoyable materials, hope to see more in the future. Thank you!

[@seaofpasta]

Thank you for the compliment and support! I have a few more videos in the pipeline right now, if only life wasn't so busy!

i want to learn how to play this game

[@seaofpasta]

The digital version is the perfect way to get into it! Give it a go and let me know what you think!

[@RafaelCabreraAzrael]

why they release the worst version of the game as digital? its weird

[@seaofpasta]

It's probably for a couple of reasons. 1. Gives the option to sell expansions/uprising individually as future upgrades. 2. Easiest to code and test the water for interest. 3. The original is the most well known and approachable. 4. Makes sense from a release standpoint to begin with the successful base game and move up from there.
It's still a complete, and great experience! Just not the best of what could've been.

[@tiago_db_silva]

Claiming this is the best board game adaptation, means you never played Through the Ages digital

[@Alt-mb3uc]

Why do you keep having the focus of the video on your head? We're here to look at the game, not you.
