While the thrill of adventuring often revolves around combat against fearsome creatures, the quiet moments between battles can be just as critical. This is where Set A Watch comes into play, a unique dice-rolling campfire-defense strategy game that is making its way to iOS and Android devices. Originally a board game, Set A Watch has now been adapted into a digital format, also available on Steam, where it challenges players to keep their campfire burning amidst relentless waves of monsters.
If you've ever played a tabletop RPG, you're familiar with the tension that comes from settling down for a long rest, only to be ambushed by creatures lurking in the darkness. Set A Watch captures this essence perfectly, turning the concept of a long rest into a gripping, pseudo tower defense strategy puzzle RPG. Players will choose from six unique heroes, assemble their party, and roll dice to tackle various challenges and fend off the encroaching threats.
The game's mechanics are fully fleshed out, offering a deep and engaging experience that truly embodies the struggle of surviving an extended battle against the forest's lurking dangers. Unfortunately, while Set A Watch has a Steam page, specific release dates for iOS and Android versions are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for updates as we eagerly await its launch.
