Adventuring isn't just about the thrill of combat; it's also about the crucial moments of rest and recovery between battles. This is where Set A Watch shines, a unique dice-rolling campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's set to launch on iOS and Android. Originally a board game, Set A Watch has evolved into a digital experience that challenges players to keep their campfire burning amidst waves of encroaching monsters.
For those familiar with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), the scenario is all too relatable: you've just navigated a perilous adventure and are settling down for a much-needed long rest, only for the game master to introduce a new threat from the shadows. Set A Watch captures this tense atmosphere, bringing it to life on Steam, iOS, and Android platforms. Players must endure relentless enemy waves, using downtime to strategize and prepare for the next attack.
In Set A Watch, you'll select from six unique heroes to form your party. The gameplay revolves around rolling dice to tackle various challenges and fend off the creatures lurking in the darkness. This innovative game transforms the simple concept of resting into a dynamic blend of tower defense, strategy, and puzzling RPG elements, immersing players in the struggle to survive against forest-dwelling beasties.
While Set A Watch already has a presence on Steam, specific release dates and listings for iOS and Android are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for more details as we eagerly await its full launch.
