Commander Quest News

[p]Hello, Commanders![/p][p]Welcome to the fifth edition of the Commander Letter. Today we’ll take an early look at the new update scheduled for August 1.[/p][p][/p][h2]Emerging Magic[/h2][p]In Commander Letter IV, we explored how to bring out the fantasy appeal of the human faction under the command of human commanders, and asked for your insights on how to define the human race’s unique traits. Following the steel and machinery of the dwarves, humanity now embraces the surreal powers of this world—expanding its reach into magic and research.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]If you’ve played Commander Quest, you’ve likely encountered moments that go beyond the clash of swords and guns—events that couldn’t be explained by mere physical combat. Some of these otherworldly forces have already appeared on your expeditions: shifting forms at the cost of a token fee or offering grand rewards in exchange for trivial things.[/p][p]For those of you who enjoy fireworks with the old man in red robes, we’ve added more aggressive and creative synergy options related to magic. The beloved blue crystals are also evolving from their simple role as cost enablers—they can now join the battle directly.[/p][p]And for the soldiers who once bent to the task, gave their all, and could only stop upon death... a second chance to push forward awaits! It may just be the era of Zhuge Liang once more.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]At last, the desperate prayers of a few ruthless commanders have reached a dreadful god. If the soldiers are going to fall in battle anyway, there’s no harm in letting them become stronger before their time runs out. With this update, human commanders will gain the ability to sacrifice excess HP in exchange for greater power.[/p][p]Of course, a commander’s vitality must be preserved for the sake of the cause—so this price will be extracted from the soldiers. Such sacrifices are inevitable to maintain a mighty legion. While dwarven commanders offer up steel and ale to harness overwhelming strength, perhaps it was only natural for human commanders to awaken to the power of Blood Magic—fueling their armies through the gift of life itself. Give me glory or give me death![/p][p][/p][h2]Daydream[/h2][p]Some commanders may find themselves filled with lingering regret.
If you wish to continue your war just a bit longer after your final battle—if you want to remain with your strongest soldiers and the most satisfying combos just a while more—you may now do so, if only in a fleeting dream.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This brief daydream is designed after the most challenging siege of our first 60 days since launch: the clash with the dwarven boss who wields a golden axe—the one most frequently defeated by commanders. While you continue the fight alongside your trusted comrades, lambs will approach to guide you gently into eternal slumber.
And when you’re finally ready to wake, a number will be shown—a small glimpse of how valiantly your troops endured. From there, you may return to the spark at any time.[/p][p][/p][h2]In Closing[/h2][p]That’s all for today’s Commander Letter. We wish you all the best in your campaigns.[/p][p][/p][p]This wind seems perfect for spreading your flames...[/p]

[p]Hello, Commanders! We are releasing a hotfix that addresses a bug with significant impact on gameplay.[/p][p][/p][p] The following issue has been fixed:[/p]

• [p]Fixed a crash that occurred when using the card ‘Miners' Liberation Front: Underground Mines Branch’ while possessing the relic ‘Lone Wolf Pipe’.[/p]

[p]Hello, Commanders![/p][p]Welcome to the fourth eidition of the Commander Letter. Today we look back on the journey you've taken over the past two months and share our plans for the upcoming update currently in development. We're also excited to introduce the bundle collaboration with Tower of Babel: Survivors of Chaos—and even a few pieces of artwork![/p][p][/p][h2]A 60-Day Journey[/h2][p][/p][p]Before anything else, we'd like to thank all the Commanders who have been with us on this journey![/p][p][/p][p]From the countless deployments of militias and miners, it's clear that Commanders have been shaping the world of Commander Quest—a world of adorable yet brutal warfare. Whether it's the number of times a self-proclaimed noble was brought to justice, or the stats that reflect Dwarf Commanders' preference for efficient steel mining, there are surely parts you’ll relate to.[/p][p] As we write this letter, we’ve noticed that the boss who’s defeated the most Commanders is none other than Sha the Reclusive—a clear sign that sieges are indeed harder than defenses.[/p][p]
How about to leave a comment sharing your thoughts or experiences with the cards mentioned here and connect with fellow Commanders?[/p][h2][/h2][h2]Content Planning[/h2][p][/p][p]Following the Gearforged Wildfire update, the development team has officially begun designing a new set of cards. Some Commanders may have already guessed what’s coming, given the recent flurry of Dwarf activity—but this time, the update is for the Humans![/p][p][/p][p]Having explored the Dwarves’ stubborn craftsmanship, we now turn our attention to the Humans' wisdom and adaptability. In Commander Quest, many events involve supernatural phenomena, and we hope to reflect some of this fantastical charm in the Human army as well.[/p][p]
We’re currently in the early stages of creating artwork, so unfortunately there isn’t much we can show yet. However, to help align our direction with your imagination, we’re revealing an early character model prototype for the first time.[/p][p][/p][p]What traits come to mind when you think of the Human race? Boldness? Curiosity? Or perhaps it’s the unexpected results that emerge from those very traits.[/p][p][/p][h2]Commander’s Gallery[/h2][p]We’d like to share some official artwork from Commander Quest that hasn’t been publicly revealed before![/p][p]
Every time we see players compliment the game’s art style on social media or in the community, we feel incredibly proud—so here’s a closer look at a few highlights.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This illustration was made internally while preparing for Steam Next Fest. We wanted to capture the energy of our squat soldiers charging forward in a chaotic crowd. Looking at the game now, the battlefield feels even more packed than this image suggests![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This one is an older concept sketch—predating even the current capsule image on the store page! The logo has mostly stayed the same, aside from some color tweaks.[/p][p][/p][p]And those tiny, harmless ghosts that sometimes appear on the battlefield? As you can see from the right side of the image, the idea has been around for quite a while.[/p][p][/p][p]If you had to vote between the two capsule concepts, which one would get your vote?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As many of you know, the Owlbear is a gentle beast. So gentle, in fact, that it fits in perfectly among a flock of sheep![/p][p][/p][p]We went through many ideation sessions when designing the Owlbear’s personality, and this was just one step in that journey.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Lastly, here’s a concept sketch built around Saladin. I personally love the effect of his solar eclipse skill.[/p][p][/p][p]During the early demo stages, Saladin was often seen as a bit underwhelming—something that’s still visible in some old community discussions.[/p][p][/p][p]But today, he’s become quite a powerful Commander. Perhaps this brilliant artwork is a sign of an even stronger future to come.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope these pieces inspire your artistic side. If you ever feel like expressing something from the world of Commander Quest, don’t hesitate to post on Steam Community :: Commander Quest.[/p][p]
Who knows? Your work might be introduced in a next Commander Letter![/p][p][/p][h2]Tower of Babel: Survivors of Chaos[/h2][p][/p][p]Commander Quest is now part of a bundle sale with Tower of Babel: Survivors of Chaos![/p][p][/p][p]This single-player action RPG blends intense hack-and-slash gameplay with survival roguelite elements and a loot-based combat system.[/p][p]
If you've already scaled the tower behind the scenes of Commander Quest with your legion at your side, how about trying another tower—one where you rely solely on your personal strength to survive?[/p][p]

We’ll return next time with visuals of some of the upcoming cards.[/p][p][/p][p]This wind seems perfect for spreading your flames...[/p][p][/p]
