While adventuring often conjures images of battling through hordes of terrifying monsters, it's the quieter moments between these high-stakes encounters that often go overlooked. For tabletop RPG (TTRPG) enthusiasts, these moments are all too familiar—the tense lull after a perilous journey, settling in for a much-needed long rest, only for the game master to reveal a new threat emerging from the shadows.
Enter Set A Watch, a captivating game that captures this essence perfectly. Originally a board game, Set A Watch is now making its way to digital platforms, including Steam, iOS, and Android. In this innovative title, you're tasked with keeping your campfire burning amidst relentless waves of monsters. The downtime between these assaults is just as crucial, as you 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 creatures threatening your campsite. This game transforms the concept of a long rest into a strategic, puzzle-filled RPG experience, blending elements of tower defense and survival strategy to keep players engaged throughout an intense night in the wilderness.
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 to see what this intriguing game has in store for mobile gamers.
