Hello, Commanders!
To comply with South Korea's mandatory game rating display laws, an age rating display will be added to the client in this patch.
Accordingly, Commanders using the Korean language setting will now see the age rating displayed when launching the game.
This display will not appear for Commanders using other language settings.

Previously, unlocking the Final Chapter required visiting specific nodes, which overly restricted path choices and limited gameplay variety.
To improve this, we made the following changes:
The ‘Tower of Ancient Wisdom’ event now spans an entire column.
You can now access it regardless of your route—no need to visit a specific node to return the letter.
In the Prologue and Midlogue, collect 3 ‘Torn Letter Scrap’ cards to craft the ‘Letter to Deliver’ card.
‘Torn Letter Scrap’ can be obtained by defeating ‘Letter-Eating Spirit’ in random battles on the world map, or through the ‘Wacky Works Lab’ event.
With low probability, the ‘Letter to Deliver’ card may appear in shops.
The previous ‘The Letter Left Behind’ event, which guaranteed a ‘Letter to Deliver’, will no longer be marked on the world map, but will still always appear somewhere in the prologue.
We’ve also reworked the battle with ‘The Eternal God’ in the Final Chapter based on player feedback.
We won’t spoil the details here—see for yourself in-game!
Did you feel a little empty returning to the lobby after finishing all your journeys? Wanted to test your custom deck one last time?
We’ve added Endless Dream Mode for you!
After the game ends, press the button on the results screen to enter Endless Dream Mode.
In this mode, the enemy commander cannot be killed and restores to full HP each turn.
As turns go on, the number and stats of summoned enemy units will increase infinitely. In other words, you will eventually be defeated!
Through various statistics provided in this mode, you can test the limits of your deck.
Alternatively, try for high scores based on the number of turns survived or the total damage dealt!
Increased the difficulty of the battle ‘Castle Awaiting Salvation’.
Increased the chance of Mythic-grade cards appearing as battle rewards.
Nerfed the ‘Tower of Ancient Wisdom’ event reward: “Choose 1 of 2 random legendary relics” → “Gain 1 random legendary relic”.
Overall, increased rewards from Epic-grade quests.
Eased the conditions for the ‘Deus Ex Machina’ quest.
Have 4 Have 3 Machine summon cards in your deck.
The following relics have been downgraded to Common grade:
‘Dragon Face Tile’
‘Minecart’
‘Five-Colored Fine Comb’
‘Compound Interest Calculator’
‘Heavy Card’
The following card effects have been changed:

Mana cost reduced from 2 to 1; effect range decreased.

Mana cost reduced from 2 to 1.
‘Zhuge Liang’ and ‘Zhuge Liang Mastermind’ — ‘Million Flaming Arrows’
Damage of ‘Rain of Flaming Arrows’ created by the skill reduced from 4 to 1, and it no longer expires.
‘Saladin’ — ‘Touch of the Dead’
Mana cost reduced from 3 to 2.
Previously usable once per battle, now usable once every 5 turns.
We’ve reworked some torment levels that provided negative gameplay experiences:
Level 7: Shop item prices increased by 20% → Reduced discount rate for sale items in shop.
Level 8: Enemy commander attack power increased by 10 → Each time you remove a card in the shop, the cost to remove a card increases next time.
Level 13: Commander skill cooldown increased by 1 turn → Enemy commander gains +10/+10.
Level 18: In normal battles, enemy units summoned on turn 1 gain Shield 1 → Decreased chance for Legendary cards and relics to appear as rewards.
Level 19: In dangerous and boss battles, enemy units summoned on turn 1 gain Shield 1 → Negative change to choices in the Wacky Works Lab event.
Increased the interval between damage ticks for 'Aflame’.
You can now left-click nodes on the world map to highlight them. This also highlights the routes to reach those nodes.
Visual effects for card and relic rewards now vary based on their grade.
You can now transfer your demo version profile data to the full version. The transfer is automatic the first time you play after the update, and can also be done manually via a button in the settings regardless of demo play.
Upon winning a boss battle, both boss-grade and legendary-grade relics may now appear as random rewards.
The number of card items in the shop has increased from 4 to 8. You can scroll through pages using the arrow on the right side of the card list.
Hello, Commanders!
Welcome to the fifth edition of the Commander Letter. Today we’ll take an early look at the new update scheduled for August 1.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
That’s all for today’s Commander Letter. We wish you all the best in your campaigns.
This wind seems perfect for spreading your flames...
Hello, Commanders! We are releasing a hotfix that addresses a bug with significant impact on gameplay.
The following issue has been fixed:
Fixed a crash that occurred when using the card ‘Miners' Liberation Front: Underground Mines Branch’ while possessing the relic ‘Lone Wolf Pipe’.
Hello, Commanders!
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!
Before anything else, we'd like to thank all the Commanders who have been with us on this journey!
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.
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.
How about to leave a comment sharing your thoughts or experiences with the cards mentioned here and connect with fellow Commanders?
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!
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.
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.
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.
We’d like to share some official artwork from Commander Quest that hasn’t been publicly revealed before!
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.
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!
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.
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.
If you had to vote between the two capsule concepts, which one would get your vote?
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!
We went through many ideation sessions when designing the Owlbear’s personality, and this was just one step in that journey.
Lastly, here’s a concept sketch built around Saladin. I personally love the effect of his solar eclipse skill.
During the early demo stages, Saladin was often seen as a bit underwhelming—something that’s still visible in some old community discussions.
But today, he’s become quite a powerful Commander. Perhaps this brilliant artwork is a sign of an even stronger future to come.
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.
Who knows? Your work might be introduced in a next Commander Letter!
Commander Quest is now part of a bundle sale with Tower of Babel: Survivors of Chaos!
This single-player action RPG blends intense hack-and-slash gameplay with survival roguelite elements and a loot-based combat system.
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?
Commanders who already own Commander Quest can get Tower of Babel: Survivors of Chaos at a 10% discount!
That’s all for today’s Commander Letter. We’ll return next time with visuals of some of the upcoming cards.

Hello, Commanders!
Welcome to the third edition of the Commander Letter. Today, we’d like to offer you a preview of the upcoming update, scheduled for June 13.
In Commander Letter I, we shared that we were considering two historical figures—Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun—as candidates for the next commander. Many of you shared your thoughts, and as this is the first commander to join the game after the official launch, we wanted to make sure we brought in someone truly worthy.
Temüjin. Attila the Hun. Both were legendary figures who defined their eras. And as we mentioned, both carried a distinct and undeniable badassery—prompting a spirited discussion within our team. At last, we’re ready to introduce the new spark that will ignite the battlefield:
From the edges of the steppe, the Great Khagan returns to declare Reconquista— not over Eurasia or the Iberian Peninsula this time, but over the world of Commander Quest!
The Great Khagan, reborn from a spark, now commands a legion equipped with ruthless ranged firepower and plentiful logistics to overrun the battlefield.
Under his harsh command, arrows and gunfire alike will strike with deadlier force. His Mongol forces—known for their mobile warfare and relentless flanking maneuvers—were, even in their time, unparalleled in supply speed and logistical efficiency.
Now, in Commander Quest, the Great Khan remembers these past strengths. He’ll cycle his cards rapidly and maintain unbroken tactical momentum throughout every engagement.
Those who continue their campaign under his banner will come to understand why he was the one who built the greatest empire the world has ever seen. So, Commanders—are you ready to trample the world?
So then—who will rise from the spark and join the Khagan’s wildfire of reconquest? For a warlord who remembers the grievance of Yesügei and the arrogance of Khwarazm, the answer is obvious: the Dwarves!
As the Bolt Bearer card reminds us, everyone wants to wield an axe, but someone has to carry the bolts. And now, the more radical dwarves have decided to bring something even more effective than hammers: gears and gunpowder.
Our art team is currently working to bring these concepts to life in-game, and in just one week, you’ll see these machines moving across your battlefield. With this update, 9 new Dwarf cards are on their way!
But these aren’t just dwarves who blow things up. They’re the most stubborn among the stubborn, and even after their last breath, they’ll leave behind final acts of will to shape the outcome of the battlefield. We’ll say it once again: Dwarves do not forget a grudge— especially not against anyone who dared damage the machines they crafted with their own hands.
Remember this well: A dwarf’s grudge always returns.
That’s all for today’s Commander Letter.
We wish you the best of luck as you join the Great Khagan’s campaign, starting June 13!
