Bought it and played it some over the weekend.
I would recommend it if you liked Northgard. That being said it plays somewhat different from Northgard.
There is more combat; your population is not part time farmer and part time warrior. You can raid and harass nearly from the get go if you stay out of deep desert. It feels grander; maps are bigger. Everything is a little more abstract; you aren’t dealing with food and wood but space money, space stock market and “authority” which you use to conquer new towns.
Yet for the most part it feels like Dune. My biggest gripe is the Fremen feel the same as the Atreides and Harkonnens; another noble house of the empire but they’re tan colored.

Watched a bunch of videos and while everyone more or less plays within the same framework/mechanics, there are significant differences between each faction; each faction has unique mechanics as well. There are a lot of currencies being generated and being spent. There is combat but more prevalent for some factions than others (more for Freman and Harkonnen, less for Atreides and Smugglers, just as you would expect. AI raids a lot until you make friends with them or conquer them. Landsraad etc an important part of the game.
