Adventuring is often thought of as a relentless battle against monstrous foes, but what about the crucial moments of rest between these intense encounters? This is where Set A Watch shines, a captivating dice-rolling campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's making its way to iOS and Android. 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.
For those familiar with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), the scenario is all too familiar: you've just survived a harrowing 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 take advantage of your party's weakened state. Set A Watch captures this tension perfectly, allowing you to choose from six unique heroes, assemble your party, and roll dice to strategize and fend off the relentless enemy waves.
Set A Watch cleverly transforms the concept of a long rest into a dynamic, pseudo tower defense, strategy, and puzzle RPG. It immerses players in the struggle to survive an extended battle against the creatures lurking in the forest, making every moment between waves critical for preparing for the next onslaught.
While Set A Watch is already listed on Steam, iOS and Android release dates are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for updates as we eagerly await its arrival on mobile platforms.
