Whether you want to play as humans or aliens, Silica has a game mode tailored for 3 unique game types. The RTS/FPS hybrid game today detailed its game modes in a blog post showcasing each one. The flagship game mode in Silica is called «Strategic Mode» and can be played in any combination, up to a three-way conflict between factions. Play in a lobby with up to 12 people with friends or other people. The strategy mode combines RTS and FPS as you try to control the battlefield, collect resources, build infrastructure and destroy the opposition. As a commander, you see the real-time side of things, moving units, building structures. As an infantry, you can play a first-person shooter by controlling one unit on the battlefield.
