About Duneborn
Survive the Desert. Conquer the Dunes. Escape Alive.DuneBorn is an open-world survival and extraction game set in a post-apocalyptic desert. The experience can be played entirely solo, following your own journey, or on shared servers where other players also explore the desert.The world is ruled by Raiders, colossal mutated creatures, and hostile convoys fighting for territory and resources. Beyond these threats, the desert itself is relentless. Extreme heat, toxic dust, and violent sandstorms turn every incursion into a constant test of survival and decision-making.Your vehicle is the core of that journey. More than transportation, it serves as shelter, support, and a safe point of return during missions. Keeping your vehicle close is essential. Far from it, any mistake becomes costly, and losing it can mean the end of an incursion.
Extraction Is the Goal
Explore dangerous regions in search of resources, face Raiders and mutated creatures, and move toward the extraction point when you decide the moment is right. On shared servers, other players may also cross your path, making every decision even more unpredictable. The more you carry, the greater the risk. Extraction is never guaranteed.Customize and Upgrade Your Vehicle
Your car is more than a way to move across the desert. It is your mobile shelter. Improve performance, durability, and mobility to handle brutal terrain, sandstorms, and unexpected ambushes.Colossal Mutated Creatures
The desert is home to giant and aggressive insect-like creatures that guard rare materials. Facing them is a choice. Surviving them is not always guaranteed.Raiders and Hostile Convoys
Ruins and abandoned facilities have become strongholds for Raiders and armed convoys roaming the dunes in search of resources. Confronting them means constant danger, but also access to valuable rewards.Face the Desert Itself
The sand shows no mercy. Toxic dust, extreme heat, and violent sandstorms force you to prepare, adapt, and continuously upgrade your gear.Rebuild and Prepare in Your Safehouse
Between incursions, return to your Safehouse. A personal refuge where you recover, organize resources, upgrade equipment, and prepare for the next journey.Collect, Craft, and Progress
Explore ruins, camps, and the remains of fallen creatures. Turn what you find into upgrades, supplies, and improvised solutions that expand your chances of survival in the desert.What Steam players say

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's post-apocalyptic premise and driving mechanics, noting it has potential as an indie project with a clear development roadmap. However, the main criticisms center on the £10 price point feeling steep for its current early-stage state, limited vehicle customization despite marketing claims, sparse combat mechanics, and the absence of multiplayer functionality, with concerns about whether the developer will maintain support long-term.
I feel this game has potential, but as of right now I don’t believe it’s worth the £10 price tag. Personally, I would have released it as Early Access rather than as a full release. On top of that, people need to stop referring to it as a Mad Max–style game. Yes, it has a wasteland setting and raiders, but that doesn’t automatically make it Mad Max. That would be like calling Fallout a Mad Max game — it just isn’t. If anything, Crossout has far more of a Mad Max feel than this game does. I watched a YouTuber who described it as a Mad Max game and also claimed it has vehicle customization. That’s not accurate. The game doesn’t really have true customization — it has vehicle add-ons that are unlocked through XP and level progression. For example, level 5 unlocks better armor, level 10 unlocks something else, and so on. From what I can see, the vehicles only seem to have around three upgrade stages: armor (which appears to give you weapons), bumper, and exhaust. It’s not even clear what some of these upgrades actually add to the vehicle in practical terms. To be honest, after the first transport into the wasteland, it’s interesting — but then it just repeats over and over with no r…3 found this helpful
dont get your hopes up to high, i see that the game is still new but it lacks in a lot of areas. you cant customize your car like i have seen in the trailer, the fighting in the game is really lacking, you are able to get guns and armor way to fast. no multiplayer, it keeps on sending people to solo. its fun to drive but that is all2 found this helpful

Game has lots of potential, so does every newborn at being a inmate or a Brain surgeon. This game should be in EA and not as a 1.0... Really Steam?! It's def a money grab, cause there's a lot of basic stuff, that should have been polished and it hasn't and it's been far too long since release with updates far too spread out (3 total), to be excusable. If it was EA, I'd let it slide.. Now they posted a roadmap, that should have been out day 1, not 7 months later! I've played 11 mins of it so far and it's crashed twice on a PC that probably cost more than the production of this game.
It's O.K.
Dev is a slow churner it seems, but they have finally updated the game since release. Roadmap has been added too which is nice! Indie project that offers what it is selling you. It isn't perfectly optimized, but it runs well enough for me to approve of it. I would love an option to scroll our camera for on foot and in car, but it's just a me preference.
