Muse Games’ first two weekends of the closed beta for Guns of Icarus Online has come to an end and the support has been fantastic. Some of the staff members took videos of their games this past weekend and put together a fun example of what the game is like in its current state. This is early footage still and many things are being improved, balanced, and created!
Welcome to Guns of Icarus Online, the first cooperative airship combat game mixing together first-person shooter action with team-based strategy. Up to four people will crew a ship, taking on one of three key roles—Captain, Gunner, and Engineer—to battle it out against other ships above the post-apocalyptic waste. In Guns of Icarus Online it will take teamwork and tactics to dominate the skies.
In the most recent beta test, covering Friday May 11th to Sunday May 13th, we had over 200 matches with over 7,000 ship components destroyed—over 8 components destroyed per ship—per match! The most popular ship was The Junker, whose 5 small guns give it extreme tactical flexibility that makes up for its lack of maneuverability. The most popular gun was the Small Howitzer, whose long range and high damage make up for its low ammo count and limited firing arc.
