Silica

About

Silica merges first person shooting with real time strategy in a battle for planetary dominance. Choose to command units from a top down view or jump into the fray as a soldier. Three factions vie for control of Baltarus: two rival human forces and an alien species with territorial ambitions. Switch between strategic planning and on foot combat to adapt to the flow of battle. Play solo or coordinate with others in co op modes. The game stands out for its flexible approach to control and perspective. Community data shows 70% of players regularly use both command and direct play modes. Multiplayer matches often last 30-45 minutes with fast restarts. The alien faction’s unique abilities and resource system create distinct gameplay compared to the human sides. Launched in 2023 with regular updates adding new units and maps.
