Stop the Unhallowed
- Survive the nine locations and prevent the Unhallowed from rising
- Your every move is dependent on how you roll the dice
- Choose from six heroes and assemble a powerful team
First revealed back in March, Set a Watch: Digital Edition is now open for pre-registration on iOS and Android, letting you build your squad and brace for battle in this faithful adaptation of the modern board game. If you're into dice-based tactical systems and roguelike decision-making over brainless button-mashing, this dungeon crawler may just be for you.
The entire point of Set a Watch is to survive nine locations to stop the rise of the Unhallowed. You’ll take on waves of monsters using a squad of varied heroes, each with different skills. However, every action you take is commanded by your dice roll. Be it attacking enemies, casting spells, or preparing for what’s ahead, your dice determines whether you make or break your run.
Each round begins with a roll, forcing you to weigh up your options carefully. Do you scout ahead to learn what's coming, heal a teammate, or light the campfire for a fighting chance in the darkness? Mistiming your move or mismanaging your dice could leave you overwhelmed by creatures lurking just beyond the flame.
As for your roster, there are six heroes to choose from, and picking the right combination is key to survival. You’ve got quite a few attributes to consider, ranging from brute strength and magical trickery to forest allies and divine protection. And between 20 different locations, rotating monster abilities, and 30 adventurer powers, there’s plenty of room for chaos and clever strategy.
While you wait, check out this list of the best strategy games to play on iOS right now!
