The WhatsNext verdict
If you want a tightly coordinated crew experience where piloting, shooting, and emergency repairs all matter, Guns of Icarus Online still has a distinctive appeal. Play it with friends who enjoy communication and shared chaos, not for a broad solo progression loop.

What you are walking into
Guns of Icarus Online is a team-based multiplayer online airship combat game. Captain or serve as crew aboard an airship with your friends and fly into battle against other ships in a steam/dieselpunk-inspired, post-apocalyptic world.

The game is all about teamwork, tactics, and fast-paced action.
