While adventuring is often associated with intense battles against monstrous creatures, the downtime between these encounters can be just as crucial. This is the premise behind **Set A Watch**, an innovative dice-rolling campfire defense strategy puzzler that's making its way to iOS and Android devices soon. Originally a board game, Set A Watch now brings its fully fleshed-out mechanics to the digital world, challenging players to keep their campfire burning amidst waves of menacing monsters.
If you're a tabletop RPG enthusiast, you'll recognize the scenario: after a grueling adventure, your party finally settles down for a much-needed long rest, only for the Game Master to throw another threat your way from the shadows. Set A Watch captures this tension perfectly, as you'll face relentless waves of enemies intent on extinguishing your campfire. Between these attacks, you'll strategize and prepare for the next onslaught.
In Set A Watch, you'll choose from six unique heroes, assemble your party, and roll dice to tackle various challenges and fend off the monsters. This game ingeniously transforms the concept of a long rest into a pseudo tower defense, strategy, and puzzle RPG, encapsulating the nerve-wracking experience of surviving a prolonged battle against the lurking dangers of the forest.
While Set A Watch has a Steam page, specific release dates and listings for iOS and Android are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for updates as we eagerly await its launch.
