While adventuring often conjures images of battling through hordes of terrifying creatures, the moments of rest between these intense encounters are equally crucial, yet often overlooked. This is where Set A Watch steps in, a unique dice-rolling, campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's set to launch on iOS and Android soon. Originally a board game, Set A Watch brings its fully fleshed-out mechanics to the mobile platform, challenging players to keep their campfire burning amidst waves of monsters.
If you're a tabletop RPG enthusiast, you know the feeling all too well: you've just survived a perilous adventure and are settling in for a much-needed long rest, only for your game master to introduce a new threat lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce on your weary party. Set A Watch captures this tension perfectly, translating it into a digital experience available on Steam, iOS, and Android. In the game, players must defend their campfire from relentless waves of enemies, using the downtime between attacks to strategize and prepare for the next onslaught.
Players can choose from six distinct heroes, assemble their party, and roll dice to tackle various challenges, from solving puzzles to fending off monsters. Set A Watch brilliantly transforms the concept of a long rest into a gripping blend of tower defense, strategy, and RPG elements, immersing players in the struggle to survive against the lurking dangers of the forest.
While Set A Watch has a Steam page, specific release dates for iOS and Android are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for updates, as this game promises to offer a unique and engaging experience on mobile devices.
