First revealed in March, Set a Watch: Digital Edition is now available for pre-registration on iOS and Android, allowing you to create your group and prepare for battle in this accurate adaptation of the modern board game. If you enjoy dice-based tactical gameplay and roguelike decision-making instead of mindless button pressing, this dungeon crawler might be perfect for you.
The main goal of Set a Watch is to survive through nine locations to prevent the Unhallowed from emerging. You'll face waves of enemies using a team of diverse heroes, each with unique abilities. However, every move you make is determined by your dice roll. Whether it's attacking foes, casting spells, or getting ready for what's next, your dice will decide whether you succeed or fail.
Each turn starts with a roll, forcing you to carefully consider your choices. Will you explore ahead to discover what lies ahead, heal an ally, or light the campfire for better chances in the darkness? Making a wrong move or mishandling your dice could leave you overpowered by creatures hiding just beyond the fire's glow.
Regarding your team, there are six heroes to select from, and choosing the right mix is crucial for survival. You'll need to consider a variety of attributes, including raw power, magical abilities, forest companions, and divine protection. With 20 different locations, changing enemy skills, and 30 adventurer powers, there's lots of space for chaos and smart strategies.
While you wait, take a look at this list of the best strategy games to play on iOS right now!
