Set in the Dune universe, this free indie game turns Emperor: Battle For Dune into a First/Third Person Shooter. More features are on the way, such as spice fields, sandstorms and advanced vehicle concepts.
Background
The Emperor is dead. The Guild has taken over the Spice production on Arrakis until another great House claims it. Three Great Houses remain after the long fighting on Arrakis. the noble Atreides, The evil Harkonnen and the insidious Ordos. All three houses are after control of Arrakis, for control of the Spice, for control of the Known Universe.
Houses
Atreides
From the water world Caladan. The Atreides are a righteous and noble people, only doing what they can for good. The Dukes love for his people commands superior loyal and devotion from his troops.
Harkonnen
From the industrial wastelands of Giedi Prime. The Harkonnen are cruel yet cunning, with leaders and officers being killed by their followers to gain rank, making them harden soldiers.
Buildings
Base Defences
Atreides: Machine gun Post, Rocket Turret
Harkonnen: Flame Turret, Gun Turret
Refineries
Refineries, harvesters and their carryalls are the basis of all Spice production on Arrakis, each House has their own Harvesters and carryalls where they collect the Spice and deliver it to Refineries to refine it.
Atreides
Harkonnen
Infantry
Each House has a Barracks for infantry training. In these structures you can refill your ammo and health while also purchasing higher characters with more health and better weapons.

Hello everyone, hope you are all doing great! We have some more Harkonnen weapons we would like to showcase.
New designs for Harkonnen Weapons
Some of the additional weapons that TeamWolf and the gang have been working on, include the Harkonnen Machinegun, the Bazooka, the DMR, and the Flamethrower!
The Harkonnen Rakkan Shredder MK. III Machinegun is a rapid-firing weapon that will suppress enemy troops. Its accuracy is increased when the user is crouched, aiming down their sights and firing in burst-modes. However, if the user fires fully-automatic the bullets tend to spread everywhere.
Note: The texture for the Machinegun is not final as this is a WIP that we got from CGTrader by the artist Gianty-Ant. We will be adjusting the texture for the full game. This model may be replaced.
The Harkonnen Horn-Bulled Bazooka is the Harkonnen's main Anti-Tank/Air weapon. It may also inflict significant damage to groups of infantry that get caught within its splash radius.
The Harkonnen Brain Needle DMR is a Designated marksman rifle that is a high precision weapon used by the Harkonnen Marksmen. The DMR is a semi-automatic rifle that works effectively in longer ranges just like a Sniper rifle would. Although a DMR carries more ammo than a Sniper rifle, it inflicts less damage.
Note: The texture for the DMR is not final as this is a WIP that we got from CGTrader frost1ne. We will be adjusting the texture for the full game.
The Harkonnen Skin Melter MK. II Flamethrower is an incendiary weapon that can inflict significant damage to infantry in close range. It is also very useful against Weak Points within enemy structures. It is not very useful against armored vehicles and ranged combat is ill-advised.
For Geidi Prime!

Just saw this today and I also find it very impressive how long this has been going. It looks like a very nice interpretation of the book.
Appreciate the comment! We’ve waited a long time to get the combat perfected!
I'm amazed how long you've been working on this.
It’s a bit crazy! We’re dedicated for sure, haha.
Wow, awesome! I just started reading Dune after hearing about the upcoming movie, and was hoping there would be a decent game to get me hooked. Keep up the awesome work
Thank you very much! The books are fantastic, more so the first 5 from Frank, hopefully you're enjoying the read!
Forgive my glaring lack of knowledge but I was under the impression Dune had Lasguns? Or do they use a variety of Directed Energy Weapons and projectile weaponry?
So they do use Lasguns and they are in Emperor: Battle for Dune (which is what we're based off) but we haven't included them yet, that's kind of their direct energy weapon class.
Projectiles are something that get used a lot, like Mauler Pistols and Flechette guns that can carry poisons along with darts for assassinations.
However, Emperor: Battle for Dune designed the combat more in the direction that would work for a game, with a much more heavier focus on ranged combat with machines guns etc, rather than melee. But we'd still like to include melee at some point.
Best of luck with development! Dune is a wonderful thing, and any work done continuing its legacy is appreciated by many.
When will the game be released .......
When it's met it's first release checks.
