Allemand Die Geschichte und Konzepte des Spiels basieren eher lose auf Frank Herberts Roman Der Wüstenplanet, optisch auf David Lynchs Verfilmung und Elementen aus der als nicht-kanonisch betrachteten Dune Encyclopedia (z. B. Haus Ordos). Der Spieler hat die Möglichkeit, im Namen dreier verschiedener sogenannter Hohen Häuser um die Herrschaft über den Wüstenplaneten Arrakis zu kämpfen. Zur Auswahl stehen die Häuser der edlen Atreides und der bösen Harkonnen, die beide auch aus dem Roman bekannt sind, sowie das Haus der hinterhältigen Händlersippe Ordos, welches nur in der Dune-Enzyklopädie von Willis E. McNelly aus dem Jahr 1984 am Rande erwähnt wird. Hat sich der Spieler für ein Haus entschieden, so besteht seine Aufgabe darin, in verschiedenen Missionen eines Feldzuges (Kampagne) mit steigenden Schwierigkeitsgraden eine Basis aufzubauen, Spice zu sammeln und eine Armee aufzustellen. Das Spiel gilt als gewonnen, sobald das eigene Haus den gesamten Planeten beherrscht.

Anglais The planet Arrakis (also known as Dune for its sandy landscape) is the only place in the known universe where Melange (more commonly known as the Spice) can be found. The Spice is the basis of interstellar travel and thus the standard of the Imperial economy. To increase productivity, The Padishah Emperor has invited three powerful Houses (Harkonnen, Atreides and Ordos) to compete against one another economically and bring up spice production. Competition among these houses begins peacefully but soon turns ugly as they battle each other with armed troops, advanced weaponry, and spies. The planet itself is also hostile, with dangerous sandworms inhabiting the spice fields.

Dune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed.

The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.

After a mission is completed, the player can select the next mission on a map of Dune. This choice determines the layout of the next map to be played, but has no effect on the overall campaign.

Français Celui qui contrôle l'épice... contrôle l'univers. Voyez la planète Arrakis, connue sous le nom de Dune - terre de sable et royaume de l'épice, "Mélange". L'épice contrôle l'empire - quiconque contrôle Dune contrôle l'épice.
L'Empereur a lancé un défi : la maison qui produira le plus l'épice contrôlera Dune. Il n'y a ni territoires fixes... ni règles de combat. D'importantes armées sont arrivées. A présent, trois maisons combattent pour le contrôle de Dune. Une seule maison gagnera. La Bataille d'Arrakis commence maintenant...
