Set Watch, the digital adaptation of Todd Walsh's tabletop game, has launched its first PC demo during Steam Next Fest. Running until 2023-10-20, the demo mirrors the strategic gameplay of the original while showcasing a fixed sequence of encounters.
Game Mechanics and Features
Set Watch is a Dungeons & Dragons-style board game where players fend off monsters attacking their camp. As a hero, players roll three dice each turn, using them for attacks or activating powerful abilities. The digital edition stays true to the board game’s mechanics, with enemy abilities creating tactical puzzles each playthrough.
Limited-Time Demo and Release Date
The demo offers players an opportunity to experience the game’s mechanics with a predetermined set of encounters, leading to an Unhallowed boss battle. Set Watch Digital Edition is set for full release on 2023-11-27, but the demo remains available during Steam Next Fest.
Fans of dungeon crawlers and tactical dice-based games, especially those with a penchant for card-driven mechanics, should explore the demo. This event offers a chance to dive into a game that captures the essence of strategic tabletop play.
