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 comes into play, 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 devices, challenging players to keep their campfire burning amidst waves of monsters.
For those familiar with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), the scenario is all too familiar: you've just survived a perilous adventure and are settling down for a much-needed long rest, only for your game master to introduce a new threat emerging from the shadows, ready to finish off your weary party. Set A Watch captures this tension perfectly, as you face continuous waves of enemies determined to extinguish your campfire. Between these waves, you'll strategize and prepare for the next onslaught.
In Set A Watch, you'll choose from six distinctive heroes, assemble your party, and roll dice to tackle various challenges and fend off monsters. This game ingeniously transforms the concept of a long rest into a pseudo tower defense, strategy, and puzzle RPG, immersing players in the struggle to survive against the lurking dangers of the forest.
While Set A Watch is already available on Steam, we're still awaiting listings and a release date for iOS and Android. Keep an eye out for updates as we track the progress of this exciting game.
