There’s just one factor worse than being chased throughout the desert by a sandworm in Dune: Awakening, and that is getting eaten by a sandworm in Dune: Awakening. Not solely does the enormous phallic cretin suck you down into the bowels of Arrakis, it eats all the pieces you are carrying. Your garments, your weapons, and particularly your Spice Liquor. Immediately you are respawning at your base in nothing however your underwear and are compelled to do the run of disgrace throughout the sands to begin rebuilding your stock.
It is easy to be sceptical about an MMO survival sport set within the Duniverse, however after just a few bouts of dehydration and sunstroke, the day I spent in Arrakis satisfied me that Dune: Awakening is one to observe. Greater than that, if the developer can ship on its plans for the endgame, it might see an EVE On-line-style future for its hardcore playerbase. This large challenge is the work of Funcom – the studio of the Conan: Exiles dong slider fame – and units you on a path from broke-ass Arrakis hobo to an influential determine harvesting Spice on an industrial scale and pushing their private agenda on the Landsraad. It is received all the pieces you anticipate from an MMO – intricate talent bushes, PvP mechanics, base constructing and character customization, however with ornithopters and mind-altering substances thrown in.
