- Survive nine treacherous locations and prevent the rise of the Unhallowed
- Your every action depends on the outcome of your dice roll
- Select from six unique heroes and build a formidable team
First announced in March, Set a Watch: Digital Edition is now available for pre-registration on iOS and Android, allowing you to assemble your squad and prepare for combat in this faithful adaptation of the modern board game. If you enjoy dice-driven tactical combat and roguelike decision-making over simple button-mashing, this dungeon crawler could be right up your alley.
The core objective in Set a Watch is to survive nine different locations and halt the emergence of the Unhallowed. You'll battle waves of monsters using a diverse party of heroes, each with their own unique abilities. However, every move you make is dictated by your dice roll. Whether you're attacking enemies, casting spells, or preparing for what lies ahead, the dice decide your success or failure.
Each round kicks off with a dice roll, requiring you to carefully evaluate your options. Do you scout ahead to gather intel, heal a companion, or light the campfire to gain an advantage in the dark? A poorly timed action or mismanaged dice roll could leave your party overwhelmed by the creatures waiting just beyond the fire's glow.
In terms of your party lineup, there are six heroes available, and choosing the right combination is essential for survival. You'll need to weigh various attributes, including raw strength, magical prowess, woodland allies, and divine protection. With 20 distinct locations, changing monster abilities, and 30 adventurer skills, there's plenty of room for unpredictable encounters and smart strategy.
