Ornithopters fly overhead, scanning for new fields of Spice as my Sardauker finish taking control of a small village. In the distance, I see signs of a sandworm, blocking any attempt at crossing the empty dune by land.
Such is Dune: Spice Wars, a strategy game that asks players to take control of Arrakis in whatever ways you see fit. Military might is one avenue, but there's other, far more subtle ways of taking control as well. It's a fun experience, one that has been available for some time on PC and is now playable on Xbox Series X|S consoles, as well as being accessible through Xbox Game Pass.
