Dune adventure strategy game”, but it turns out at least one person has, because I’ve been playing Konstantin Koshutin and Microprose’s
Highfleet on the PC this week

Kind of. I hope you’re willing to let me describe in painstaking detail how
Highfleet works, because one of the key things to understand here is that it’s like nothing else out there. I fired up this game and was immediately lost, not just because it drops you in the deep end of its lore, but because everything it brings together is so odd and weird and new that I had no references to fall back on. There’s no “oh I know this kind of game I’ll just do this” here.
