There's a good feeling for adventure in the dry wastes of the deep desert, and just about any playing group should find the situation challenging." [1]

Steve Nutt reviewed Duneraiders for Imagine magazine, and stated that "The adventure is well presented and laid out, and is comprehensive. The planetary background is detailed. with lots of maps and a deck plan of the mining vehicle provided.
