I tried play on the Uprising board and it the new board wouldn’t load. I then found the tutorial to the new board but needed to go thought the 20 minutes of tutorial on the basic once again. I am reloading the game after deleting it . ### 3/5 — Love the concept and the books and the movies *2026-08-14, version 4.0.9* So being a fan of the Dune books, movies and pretty much anything Dune immediately drawn to this game I’m walking through the tutorial now and ask for a review which I feel like is a little soon. If you ask me for a review and it does seem very complicated, but I intend to stick with it because complicated games usually give the most replayability looking forward to spending time figuring this out there is also a due imperium board game ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-08-03, version 4.0.9* The tutorial is amazing. The game is amazing. But this game has soooo much luck. Literally makes games like Lost around of Arnak look the holy grail example of balance. ### 3/5 — Creating Multiplayer Games is Horrible *2026-07-30, version 4.0.9* The Uprising expansion is great, but the app took a huge step backwards with how you make private online games. ### 5/5 — Great game, one minor thing to fix *2026-07-03, version 4.0.9* I really wish they would fix the network connection issue for a async play when you leave the app in the background. I have to completely kill the app and reopen it every time. It’s my turn on iOS. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-07-02, version 4.0.9* It plays so well .. as a board game it’s amazing and this port is excellent .. great job guys .. the sound effects really add to the game too.. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-06-29, version 4.0.8* Good port to phone ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-06-28, version 4.0.8* Enjoy playing this game. ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-06-25, version 4.0.8* Ok ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-24, version 4.0.8* Good game I like ### 5/5 — Brilliant .. *2026-06-24, version 4.0.8* So impressed with this .. love it love ..love the board game .. ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2026-06-22, version 4.0.7* Bought the game as soon as I heard they were adding Imperium: Uprising compatibility! Would love to see Bloodlines added as well, as Liet Keynes is my favorite character to play as. Sweet! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-20, version 4.0.7* Honestly the best way to play the Dune games as the physical board games takes way longer and gets so messy, only thing is I wish they would add ability to add house rules like nukes in Rise of IX expansion instead of only keeping it for the other expansion ### 5/5 — Great strategy game *2026-06-19, version 4.0.7* So many different avenues to pursue to win. Spring for the Uprising expansion. Worth it. ### 5/5 — Uprising is phenomenal *2026-06-17, version 4.0.5* This was already one of my favorite apps, for one of my favorite games, but the release of Uprising takes it to the next level. If you like modern board games / the Dune universe, get this game. ### 2/5 — Cannot even buy Uprising *2026-06-17, version 4.0.5* All the buttons in the “Shop” are broken and do nothing, so I can’t buy the new DLC. Otherwise, game works. ### 5/5 — Great Dune feel, fun gameplay, true to board game *2026-06-15, version 4.0.4* Highly recommend if you like DUNE or love board games ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — All around excellence *2026-08-29, version 4.0.9* Fantastic adaptation of the boardgame. One of my favorites! ### 1/5 — Buggiest app on my phone *2026-07-10, version 4.0.9* By far the buggiest app, let alone game app, on my phone. Controls are often unresponsive, I need to restart the app to see my opponents moves, and the loading times are significant. Also it does not work on some WiFi. ### 1/5 — Discrimination *2026-06-14, version 4.0.4* Developers, do you really think that by adding the Ukrainian language, you are imposing sanctions against Russian players? Any Russian is easily Ukrainian. It's a pity that you are so politicized ### 1/5 — Bought Uprising Expansion, next day it disappears *2026-06-13, version 4.0.4* Very strange bug where I cannot play Uprising expansion despite having bought it. When I go to buy it again, it says I purchased, but when trying to join Uprising games in Lobby, it won’t allow me and says I need to “purchase expansion” - please fix developers! ### 1/5 — Love this game, & will gladly change my rating but… *2026-05-15, version 3.3.6* Intrigue cards should be placed to the left next to your played cards, & your hand & played cards should be moved over so your hand doesn’t cover them when doing something. Also, an option should be added for your cards in hand & intrigues to sit higher so the whole card is visible. Thirdly, the smallest buttons the size of the “resign”, “save & exit”, etc. should all be a bit bigger, the size of the “confirm” button. I don’t understand why they’re so small on an iPad screen. Please consider these as options, bc while seemingly small, the rest is so polished. ### 1/5 — Best game of all time *2026-05-14, version 3.3.6* The digital app is seamless! So good. But now getting 1 star bc of how many times they’re asking me to review after I’ve reviewed. ### 1/5 — Many UI Bugs on iPhone *2026-04-01, version 3.3.6* UI bugs remain. It’s been years now right? Here’s a tip for anyone struggling:: just restart the app. Sad they don’t seem to care!! ### 1/5 — WRITE A REVIEW! Please!! *2026-02-14, version 3.3.6* I like this game it’s brilliant but they won’t stop asking me to do a review and because they’re forcing me, 1 star. Don’t be so pushy in future! ### 1/5 — Many UI Bugs on iPhone *2026-01-25, version 3.3.6* UI bugs remain. Here’s a tip for anyone struggling:: just restart the app. Sad they don’t seem to care!! ### 1/5 — Nag for reviews *2026-01-23, version 3.3.6* Download game, play tutorial, get nagged to leave a review 3 times in 15 minutes. 1 star, what do you expect with such disrespectful behavior? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What are the best digital board games on the market? *2026-09-03, version 4.0.9* I’m a complete board game nerd. I can play them every day, and in fact I catch myself playing this 3 to 4 times a week multiple games at a time. If you like the Dune boarding game, you will love the efficiency of the digital version. Ps: nearly a year later. And the updates are even better. If you like dune, buy this game ### 5/5 — Fav *2026-08-17, version 4.0.9* Best game of all time! ### 5/5 — The best board game app. *2026-08-04, version 4.0.9* The best board game and the best board game app. What more could you wish for ? ### 5/5 — Very impressed *2026-08-03, version 4.0.9* Derw has done an excellent job creating a game that captures the feel of the films and replicates the board game of the same name. ### 5/5 — 5 Star Digital Version *2026-08-02, version 4.0.9* This digital version of Dune Imperium Uprising is so beautifully designed. Absolutely love it! ### 5/5 — Best Game *2026-07-20, version 4.0.9* This is my favorite board game. I’m so glad it’s on an app that I can play anytime. ### 5/5 — Must have *2026-07-19, version 4.0.9* Dune fan? Get it. Card deck building fan ? Get it. Strategy gamer? Get it. ### 5/5 — Favorite board game *2026-07-16, version 4.0.9* Bought this to play solo on travels well designed and plays well My favorite of all time Ai is great and still claps me When are they going to release bloodlines and a ranked mode ### 5/5 — Best digital game *2026-07-14, version 4.0.9* This is one of the most popular board games of all time and this is simply one of the best digital adaptations ever. Have played it hundres of times, the Uprising expansion and Ic expansions are superb. Good AI opponents make it a relatively quick (under 30 min) game once you know what you’re doing ### 5/5 — So good! *2026-07-11, version 4.0.9* Just like the real thing - great job devs! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
