[@CommanderQuest-k6s]

*Hello Wanderbots and all KZbin subscribers!* *We’re CommanderQuest.* Thank you so much for the interest and support you’ve shown, even though our demo build is still far from perfect. We know that our game is still in its early stages and might not fully impress fans of the deck-building genre just yet. But despite this, we’ve decided to share it with you and hear your feedback. Just like the *Slay the Spire devs, who released an early, rough build and turned it into a masterpiece thanks to player feedback, we’re aiming for a similar journey.* As you can see, being a demo, there’s still a lot that needs polishing. Our goal is for CommanderQuest to become a game with tighter synergies, more replayability, and unique features that set it apart. Right now, we’ve paid homage to *Slay the Spire* in many ways, but our focus has been on creating a *distinct* in-game experience that shows off the potential of our game-even within the "limited time" we’ve had for development. We’ve spent a lot of time transitioning the "synergies from card play" to what you can actually see "on the field," which has been a huge focus for us. As fans of deck-building roguelikes and as developers, we promise never to lose sight of our duty to create something fresh and different from what’s already out there. By the time we hit Early Access and full release, we promise that CommanderQuest will bring enough value and originality to stand out in the deck-building roguelike genre. Even though the demo isn’t fully polished yet, we’d really appreciate your belief in the game’s potential. We won’t stop-your feedback will guide us as we keep improving the game to create something that truly satisfies fans of the genre. CommanderQuest will be showcased at Steam's NextFest starting October 15th. We’d love your support-please wishlist the game, share your feedback, and help us grow! We’re listening to every comment, every piece of feedback, whether it’s through KZbin or our Discord. *We’ll always stay true to our passion and keep communicating honestly with you. Thank you so much!*

Any chance this will be on switch?

[@CommanderQuest-k6s]

@@greenmushroom4258 We are still open to all platforms, as long as it's a place where this game will be welcomed by players. We are actively listening to feedback from users who want to play on the Nintendo Switch, and we'll positively consider it. For now, we plan to test the game using console controllers, which will be our first step toward supporting our console gamers.

@@CommanderQuest-k6s I’d love to see this on iOS! There aren’t enough quality games in the genre and this looks really promising. Congrats on the demo!

[@riccardozanoni2531]

the game looks absolutely stunning! Props to the artist(s). Keep up the good work!

[@vitsliputsli3297]

​​@@CommanderQuest-k6s the game is awesome, hope to see it in google play/android game platforms.

[@HWFchamp]

This looks like a fun deckbuilder. I'm not sold on calling it an RTS though.

[@LittleDanny9899]

Yhea it has absolutely no RTS Features No base Building no Control over units nothing Frankly its just a Tug of war Deckbuilder I mean its fine and i would even say i likely like it more due to that

[@tacolord2561]

agreed game looks like it has great protentional but as of this moment there isnt a lick of RTS in it, like i was thinking your mana was gonna be on a timer recharging as you placed units/buff down and that'd be what made it an RTS but no, not sure if its better or worse for it but regardless not an RTS

[@basedeltazero714]

The 'End Turn' button is a big hint TBH.

[@joewilson3393]

The death animations give me that really satisfying Bad North feeling.

[@PotionSmeller]

Gotta say this is a pretty fresh take on the autobattler/deckbuilder genres. I'm a bit burned out on those genres but this game got me interested.

[@abraxis59]

This looks fun but it is definitely mislabeled. This is very clearly a turn based auto battler. This for me is a good thing 😀

[@caseysailor9301]

finally, I've been waiting for the tug-of-war like genre to pop off for years now.

[@Qaboom]

Same. It's a shame Warcraft Rumble is so buggy, unoptimized, and P2W, because the core gameplay is great.

[@michaelstewart6909]

Thanks for the vid Wanderbots. Finished my first run with Richard. It's more of a Clash Arena style than an RTS but with rouge-like STS campaign. The meta progression is woeful. Game is fun tho!!

[@DysnomiaATX]

This game slaps. I'd love to see more on full release

[@jeremylandry70]

Can't wait to play this!

[@gabik240200]

This game reminds me so much of old school flash games like Epic War, Archer, Lord of the Rings battle something something, Age of War, …. Love this style, just modernized it

[@Spikeba11]

This is not real time, it is turn based. Therefore it cannot be RTS. Therefore this is a "strategy" game not a "real time strategy", there is no reflexes or clicks per second mattering here. Edit: some cards look like they can be used "out of turn" but That isn't nearly enough to call it a real time game.

[@wanderbots]

You can play cards at any time, so it is an RTS, I just chose not to.

[@drakonslayer8279]

it does feel like more of an auto battler than an RTS

[@wanderbots]

@@drakonslayer8279 it's definitely more specific, but the title's already packed enough as it is.

[@drakonslayer8279]

@@wanderbots im sure they can cram a few more genres in lol

[@That-_-Guy]

@@wanderbotsthe time pausing causes this not to fall under rts despite having that capability

[@ThePresentation010]

*Love this game. Cant wait for release, full version.*

[@spankyramone9796]

as soon as you said demo, i downloaded it, your video is what helped me get started right away

[@almondbutter9634]

Don’t forget Evs battery fires, ability to be hacked and tracked, and the ability to not work on your vehicle at home…which nowadays the combustion is similar, but I love me some 70’s vehicles

[@tacolord2561]

Checked the game out on steam, and the Demo is free so I'd really recommend if this looks even a little interesting to go and try it out, like i said the demo is free (as of me typing this out) ive always struggled with deck building despite loving it so i was hesitant to spend money on another one love when devs do free demos allows us to enjoy and get a feel for a game and gives them good feedback and hopefully a larger platform to know if transitioning the game into its full form is worth

[@derekjepson5012]

It depends on your deck, but there are decks that generate mana stones and other effects as units die, making them more reactive playstyles.

[@AlaskaSaedelaere1]

I must immediately think about NorthVsSouth. So good. Definitly will take a look into Tug-of-War

[@jakecoverdale462]

Id like to see you play more of this if you're of a mind too! Its a very interesting take on the formula.

[@Spikeba11]

Games can simply be of 2 genres. (also RTS is a subgenre already)

[@Beserk_Ninja]

Big decks are just as good as small decks. (Haha), but really though. Small decks mean you always know what you're getting, but you typically have the issues of making sure the value of those cards can handle what's being thrown at you as well as not getting ruined by enemies that give you trash/curse cards. Big decks will typically mean you might get a bad starting hand, but if you picked cards that aim to allow you to play more cards per turn (draw/play on draw or discard/+energy, etc.) you'd usually be guaranteed to get what you want beyond a certain turn depending on your deck size. The big benefit is that you can often ignore trash/curse cards because you'll either be able to discard them or you simply won't see them often due to how long it takes you to cycle. Though obviously it depends on what options the game in question gives you. Rant done. o/

[@benlyle-smith3298]

What a unique lil game reminds me of starcraft arcade games, I would definitely say its a turned based rts, semi real time?

[@alexkatc59]

42:25 Wanderbots: "generate one migrant............... I don't like this." But wut about cultural diversity, man??? Different foods?

[@Axer128]

53:24 - insanely lucky to randomly pull the ascetic right when you needed him. That fricking ram has 600 health and will wreck your commander, but that units counters it for 0 mana, draining his massive 600 health down to 1. I didn't have him and nothing else seems strong against it, i had the guy with 5 multi shot who also ignores his armor and i had his dmg multiplied by 3.. managed to kill it ,but since it drained all my resources doing so, i lost from attacks from the other lanes.

[@paul.prestidge]

Looks rad!

[@-BLANK-1-]

This game looks neat!

[@bathroomlew]

Slay The Warpips!

[@thehairz]

This kind of reminds me of Warcraft Rumble.

[@CyberGhostArt]

Yo that game seems awesome

[@JulioFrosi]

Another amazing game, it seems.

I hope they push through, this game looks kinda promising.

[@Dwarfurious]

[@thaariqbinaziz2821]

Why are you putting archer in the front🤣

[@PraetorDragoon]

Its quite odd that I'm not hearing a lot about rts/roguelike combinations!

[@doctoronishispsychosislab1474]

Nothing RTS about this. It's a card based rouge lite auto battler

[@HeartbrokenHeartshooter]

Agreed. There aren’t turns in a real time strategy game

[@vitsliputsli3297]

Top game.

[@marcdel_]

this looks super promising. a little off putting how much of the ui bits feel straight up copy/pasted though.

[@Axer128]

Yea definitely isn't an RTS. Tug of war fits, but i'd call it a roguelike deckbuilder with auto battler units. Very unique haven't seen anything else like it, but another game i really love hadean tactics is similar, though you mostly draft units in that game rather than summon them, but it has the same ~6-8 second attobattle/ cards/autobattler/autopause back to cards mechanic.

[@maxpower8549]

waiting for the "this is just like sts" comments 😂

[@crinaya]

Virtually identical. If only there was original thought...

[@XViper123]

I really hope this is going to be multiplayer.

[@Kogwah]

We don’t need TRIBAL merchant - we just need more TRIBAL cards 😂🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@HeartbrokenHeartshooter]

This game looks like it was designed with steamdeck in mind

[@BMVfilms]

Henshi'd not hentai'd. The former means transform the latter...

[@smolpretty4497]

you know it's a great game when the creator never plays the game again after the sponsorship

[@HeartbrokenHeartshooter]

“I don’t know if I want to say it goes turn by turn exactly” Immediately when the next battle starts in large letters in the screen “TURN 1” 😑😑😑😑

[@walkermartin3973]

Yoooo I fuck with this definitely gonna pick it up and try it out

[@DonDensho]

Can’t wait to plaayy

May I know the minimum specs for this game to run? It is crashing on my end Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz 16gb Ram Intel UHD 630 graphics

[@TonyAg-es8yr]

Part pls

[@loneRang3r]

Game looks fun but calling any part of that even close to RTS is laughable.
