While adventuring often conjures images of epic battles against monstrous foes, the downtime between these intense encounters is equally crucial. This is the focus of Set A Watch, a captivating dice-rolling, campfire-defense strategy game that's soon to make its digital debut on iOS, Android, and Steam. Originally a board game, Set A Watch brings its fully developed mechanics to mobile, challenging players to keep their campfire burning amidst waves of menacing monsters.
Every tabletop RPG enthusiast knows the tension of settling down for a much-needed rest, only to have the game master introduce a new threat emerging from the shadows. Set A Watch captures this essence perfectly. Players must select from six unique heroes, assemble their party, and roll dice to strategize and fend off relentless enemy waves, all while trying to maintain the sanctity of their camp.
This game ingeniously transforms the simple concept of a long rest into a dynamic blend of tower defense, strategy, and puzzle-solving RPG elements. It masterfully conveys the struggle of surviving an extended battle against the lurking dangers of the forest.
Although Set A Watch has a Steam page, specific release dates and listings for iOS and Android are yet to be announced.
