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 set to launch soon on iOS and Android. Originally a board game, *Set A Watch* now brings its fully fleshed-out mechanics to mobile devices, challenging players to keep their campfire burning amidst waves of menacing monsters.
For those familiar with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), the scenario is all too familiar: you've just survived a perilous 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 attack your weary party. *Set A Watch* captures this tension perfectly, translating it into a digital format available on Steam, iOS, and Android. In the game, you'll face relentless waves of enemies determined to extinguish your campfire, with each lull between attacks dedicated to strategizing and preparing for the next onslaught.
Players can choose from six distinctive heroes, assemble their party, and roll dice to tackle various challenges and fend off the monsters. *Set A Watch* ingeniously transforms the concept of a long rest into a pseudo tower defense, strategy, and puzzle RPG, immersing players in the struggle to survive an hours-long battle against the lurking dangers of the forest.
While *Set A Watch* has a Steam page, specific release dates for iOS and Android are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for updates as we eagerly await its full release.
