Feb. 2026

First off, the good: The graphics look incredible. The few planets I've played matches on have dynamic temporal environments, as in, the day/night cycle plays out with the sun rising and setting, followed by the orbit of the moon or other celestial bodies. A super cool touch and really makes you feel like you're on another planet. The game runs pretty well on my system at a range of 100-150 fps or so (9800x3d, 64GB DDR5-6000, RTX 3080ti) but has used north of 30GB of RAM at some points (might be a memory leak in the game?) The Combat is a lot of fun - explosions feel authentic and units feel like they belong in each class they are assigned to (e.g., large tanks drive and shoot like large tanks). The cons: Does feel like an early access title in that there are some bugs (notably around the harvester AI and then some of your units will get stuck trying to navigate basic obstacles). Overall: This game has a TON of potential and I really hope the devs take it all the way to full release. I would recommend to anyone who's a fan of RTS and/or RTS/FPS combos.

Great game, needs a bit of polish. AI is pretty bad, way too easy too. Performance becomes horrific after a bit (using 14GB of my 32GB of RAM!) I wish there were points on the map to capture that allows for certain tech to be unlocked.

It needs better optimization and stronger communication with its fans and community. Otherwise, it’s a great game with incredible potential to make it big. However, if the developers don’t focus on optimization and raising awareness, it could struggle to reach the audience it deserves. Everyone I talk to or even those I’ve gotten the game for has never heard of Silica. I want this game to succeed so badly, but I’m honestly not sure what the future holds. Things aren’t looking great right now, but if I were part of the team working with these amazing people, I know I could help make a real difference.

RTS + FPS in a perfect setting for it. Def has its issues with unit pathing and key RTS components such as formations, unit splitting, etc. The dev team has announced they're aware and are actively working towards it.

July 2025

game is high concept; futuristic; heartfelt; made with love; the developer is Solo. Needs a lot of support and more collaboration! However this is exactly the type of game that could go on to DESTROY the Battle Royale hierarchy like Helldivers if it had many many more thousands of work hours in development. The Art is there. The gameplay is there. The RTS features excel. It just needs love and care. Better map development emphasizing what RTS games have learned from the 30 years of creation: simplicity is best. If this was Game Development Tycoon, this game scores all B+ across the board at the time of writing this (7/24/25). Definitely buy it and go play it!
