It is a great game, not entirely a RTS game, neither entirely a grand strategy game, I'd say it mostly reminds me of playing Twilight Imperium 4 (yes, the board game.)

It's unique thematically , offers a variety of factions and multiple paths to victory, making it rather repayable, in addition a game session isn't too long, ~4.5 hours on average I'd say, overall a rather enjoyable experience without going overboard.

If there's something bad to be said it's that it lacks in descriptions, for example in the faction descriptions they mention unique units or abilities, but they don't offer a unit sheet or a preview when hovering over the unit name, this pattern repeats itself throughout the entire game so you end up resolving events without actually understanding what the prize can do for you in case of unit rewards. In addition along the same theme, they could do with making a fraction sheet, Twilight Imperium style, with a list of starting buildings or unique mechanics and changes such as mentioning that the Fremen for example get one less building slot per village, or that they can't build the water extractor, making controlling the pole a hegemony and positioning choice, not a water economics one.

Overall, I'd say it's a rather fun experience, involved enough to be interesting without being too overwhelming or requiring so much as to be tiresome, with the main downside of the game being rather poor information presentation in the UI.
