What is Guns of Icarus Online?
Set above a world damaged by runaway industrialization, this multiplayer game pits crews of armed airships against each other. Players customize their ships, take captain, gunner, or engineer roles, and coordinate piloting, firing, and repairs during PvP matches. When a ship goes down, its whole crew goes with it.
For you if...
- +you like coordinating different crew roles in competitive battles
- +you enjoy customizing airships for team-based combat
Not for you if...
- −you prefer playing alone rather than relying on a crew
- −you want a story campaign instead of competitive matches
What players say
