Brick & Mortar - A real-time strategy war in plastic. Some assembly required.

A brick-built city under a low golden sun, skyscrapers throwing long shadows.

Some assembly required.

A real-time strategy war fought entirely in plastic, under lighting that should not be legal. Seventeen missions, fifty Tower Defense levels, three factions, and a firm understanding that the other side is also made of bricks.

What is in the box

Features

Every build step is accounted for. Mostly.

Missions, four acts

A campaign that goes from a snowed-in outpost to New York, Nome, Moscow and Mars. It escalates at a pace the characters describe as unreasonable.

A brick warship vanishing in an orange fireball at sea.

The navy shows up

Destroyers, submarines, broadsides and chaff. Water that looks like water. Ships that sink like ships, only with more studs.

A lone tower in the snow at golden hour, with lamp posts and bare trees.

Tower Defense levels

Enemies follow the path. You decide what is standing next to it. Fifty levels, from a quiet field to a very busy square.

Towers you can promote

Keep a tower alive through the wave and promote it. It hits harder, and it clearly knows.

Mutators and endless

Mutators change the rules of a level. Endless mode removes the finish line, politely, and keeps sending things.

Skirmish

Build a base, find the other base, resolve the disagreement. Easy to brutal, against the AI, at your own pace.

Steam multiplayer

Bring friends. Pick USA, RUSSIA or MARS and out-build them, preferably before they out-build you.

Achievements

From First Brick to The Whole Set. Each one has a tiny brick for an icon. We checked.

Footage

Captured in-game

Real clips from the game, running on Unreal Engine 5. Nothing mocked up, nothing borrowed.

Pick a side

Three factions

Each one plays differently. Each one thinks it is the reasonable one.

BLUE

USA

Well funded, well fed and quietly certain the plan is working. Strong in the air, strong in the bank, with a high opinion of itself.

Fast builders
Anything with a radar dish

RED

RUSSIA

Heavy, loud, and built on the principle that more armour is an argument. Big guns, bigger airships, a lot of snow.

Armour first
Airships. Yes, airships.

VIOLET

MARS

The newcomers: walkers, lasers and a long commute. Nobody asked them to pick a side. They picked one anyway.

Walkers and lasers
Excellent at long range

Tower Defense

Hold the line

50Levels

∞Endless mode

A full Tower Defense game, not a side dish. Choose where things stand, survive the wave, promote the towers that earned it, then turn on a mutator and ask yourself why.

Promote towers that survive a wave into better, meaner versions of themselves.
Mutators bend the rules of a level. Faster, harder, stranger.
Endless keeps going until you do not.
Snow, night, navy. Fifty levels of terrain that is allowed to look good.
