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 devices. Originally a board game, Set A Watch now brings its fully fleshed-out mechanics to the digital realm, challenging players to keep their campfire burning amidst waves of menacing 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 select from six distinctive heroes, assemble your party, and roll dice to tackle various challenges and fend off the relentless onslaught of enemies trying to extinguish your campfire.
This ingenious release transforms the simple concept of adventurers resting into a compelling blend of tower defense, strategy, and puzzle-solving RPG gameplay. It vividly conveys the struggle of surviving an hours-long battle against the lurking dangers of the forest.
Although 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.
