Games like Silica

Loved how competitive and replayable Silica can get? Start with these games when you are ready. Plenty here let you team up if you like.

Executive Assault
An RTS where you can also be the robot. Build a base, raise an army of tanks and walkers, then jump into any unit and fight from the ground, even inside your own buildings. Win by storming the enemy HQ and taking out their CEO before they take out yours.
