Hold what remains. Reclaim what was lost.

The Lost Reaches: Brood Tide. Tower defense is only half the battle.

Real-time strategy for Android. All five World 1 levels free.

Towers hold the road. Units take the ground.

Every battle on Rhelos is a fight for one road, and the Brood uses the same tools you do.

Gameplay: REC troops clear Brood creatures at the beacon between two bunkers while a tower burns.

Hold the road

Build towers on the pads along the road and upgrade them as the fight grows. Hold the beacon in the middle of the map and two bunkers rise for your troops.

KEEL Contact on the road. The army is fighting.

Gameplay: a REC army marches out from the Command Bastion and hits a Brood tower.

Deploy the army

Train Rangers, Breachers, Snipers and Siege Walkers at your Command Bastion. Press Deploy and they march out together; Recall brings them home. You choose what to send and where.

KEEL Forces committed to the road.

A pink and yellow Brood seed sac sits on a build pad beside the road, where it will grow into a tower.

The Brood builds too

There's no wave timer. The Brood mines with Harvest Crawlers, grows its towers from seed sacs on its own pads and pushes when it's ready.

The Brood Tide

It took the old colonies first. It nests among the fossils and the ruins, and grows its towers instead of building them.
