In combined arms warfare, you’ll pilot everything from agile hoverbikes and tanks to sleek fighters and gunships. The seamless transition between piloting vehicles and jumping into infantry combat keeps every mission dynamic. One moment you’re strafing enemy positions from the air, the next you’re ducking behind a dune to avoid incoming fire.

Switch to RTS commander mode and you gain a top-down view over sprawling battlefields. Coordinate squad movements, order air strikes, and manage resource harvesters to build forward bases. Success depends on your tactical insight—outflank your opponent, protect your supply lines, and strike at critical targets to turn the tide of battle.

Silica’s attention to realistic unit scale is impressive. Small squads of soldiers contrast sharply with towering harvesters and fortified installations, giving you a visceral sense of each machine’s power. Every vehicle and structure is meticulously modeled, enhancing immersion and rewarding careful positioning and target selection.

If you crave intense, close-quarters action, Siege Mode delivers relentless combat scenarios for solo players or cooperative teams. Protect your base against wave after wave of attackers, or lead an assault as either a soldier on the ground or as commander directing reinforcements. Load your weapons, fortify your defenses, and prove your mettle in the struggle for Baltarus.

Whether you’re orchestrating grand strategies or diving into the heat of firefights, Silica offers a compelling hybrid experience that pushes both your tactical mind and reflexes to the limit.
