While adventuring is often associated with battling through hordes of terrifying creatures, the downtime between these intense encounters is equally crucial. This is where Set A Watch shines, a unique dice-rolling campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's making its way to iOS and Android soon. Originally a board game, Set A Watch now brings its fully fleshed-out mechanics to mobile, challenging players to keep their campfire burning amidst waves of monsters.
Every tabletop RPG player knows the tension of settling down for a long rest, only to have the game master introduce a new threat emerging from the shadows. Set A Watch captures this essence perfectly. In the game, you'll face relentless waves of enemies determined to extinguish your campfire. Between these attacks, you'll strategize and prepare for the next onslaught.
You'll choose from six distinctive heroes, assemble your party, and roll dice to tackle various challenges and fend off the monsters. Set A Watch transforms the simple concept of a long rest into a gripping pseudo tower defense, strategy, and puzzle RPG, immersing players in the struggle to survive against the lurking dangers of the forest.
Although 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 we eagerly await its launch.
