Our take on Commander Quest
Instead of making direct battlefield control the main activity, the game puts deck construction and unit combinations at the center of play. Its journey also inserts unusual encounters between battles, including card experiments and comic fantasy situations.
What is Commander Quest?
Commander Quest combines deck-building roguelike play with an auto-battle strategy system.
Players select rewards after combat, build decks from cards and relics, and combine units such as cavalry, dwarves, beasts, and ghostly legions. Enemy forces grow stronger at each stage, requiring decks to cover weaknesses and target vulnerabilities. The journey also includes unusual non-combat events, including a druidic group protecting rats, a goblin salesman, card-customization experiments, and relic discoveries. Historical commanders appear in a fantasy setting with magic, curses, dwarves, and dragons. The run ends in a final confrontation.
