Description
Guns of Icarus Online is the original PvP steampunk airship combat game that laid the groundwork for the expanded Guns of Icarus experience, Guns of Icarus Alliance. Slip the surly bonds of earth and take to the skies as a bold Captain, fearless Gunner, or cunning Engineer. Raising the stakes on team-based PvP combat with an emphasis on strategic competition and team play, Guns of Icarus Online is all about teamwork, tactics, and fast-paced action. With a good ship and the right crew, you can conquer the skies!
A vivid steampunk world Lumbering, heavily-armored airships bristling with guns patrol the skies above a land ravaged beyond repair by an out-of-control industrial revolution.
Build your own airship Starting from a selection of basic hulls, players can mix and match hundreds of custom parts to create their own unique airship, then assemble a crew to fly it.
Your ship is your life Your ship is your collective life bar - when the ship goes down, the crew goes down with it. Every member of the crew plays an integral role in not only maintaining the integrity - “life” - of the ship, but also weakening the integrity of enemy ships as they work cooperatively towards a shared victory.
The ultimate multiplayer team experience You won’t be told to stay still and not die while a veteran preserves their Kill/Death ratio. In Guns of Icarus Online, you have to work together. It’s an entirely interdependent gameplay experience that cannot be won by a single crew member.
Goggles, gears, and glory A wide range of costumes and cosmetic options to show off your style are available in the in-game store. These items are cosmetic only - there is no pay-to-win in Guns of Icarus Online.
Pit crew against crew Form a party with up to 4 friends and crew a ship together to battle against other teams in massive airship battles with up to 32 players in a match with multiple game modes including Deathmatch, King of the Hill, Crazy King, Skyball, and VIP.
Rise in the ranks Earn titles and cosmetic upgrades through your achievements. Balanced, competitive matches reward strategic, skillful play, not level grinding.
The Industrial Revolution never ended. Raging out of control, the new machines consumed the world, staining the sky, scouring the land and poisoning the water. Humanity came the brink of extinction, all but destroyed by their own unrestrained ingenuity. A few pockets of civilization survived, sheltering in the crevices of the world, and it is time for a comeback.
Divided by wide expanses of toxic wasteland, a handful of these remnants have developed airship technology. Cruising through the sky, safely away from the poisoned earth, trade and industry could finally begin anew. However, with resources so desperately limited, war was inevitable.
We are Muse Games, an independent studio based out of New York City. Our debut game, Flight of the Icarus, was the seed that would later grow into our flagship title. After releasing the unique and eye-catching platform game CreaVures in 2011, we dedicated ourselves to re-engineering our debut title into a fully-featured cooperative online airship combat game.
We released Guns of Icarus Online in October 2012, right in the midst of Hurricane Sandy. Despite that challenging start, the game earned a loyal audience and built up a healthy community, passing the million player mark in January 2016. Since then, we have remained committed to supporting and expanding the Guns of Icarus experience. What was originally intended to be an expansion that would introduce AI opponents and player-vs-environment gameplay grew into a new standalone game - Guns of Icarus Alliance, the ultimate and definitive Guns of Icarus experience - which released in March 2017.

About Guns of Icarus Online
Guns of Icarus Online is a steampunk multiplayer airship combat game developed and published by Muse Games. It was released on October 29, 2012, for PC via Steam, growing out of the studio's earlier title Flight of the Icarus, and has surpassed four million players since launch.
The game is set in an alternate steampunk world ravaged by an out-of-control industrial revolution. Crews of up to four players each take on a specific role aboard a shared airship: the Pilot steers the ship and coordinates strategy, the Gunner mans the turrets and selects ammunition types, and the Engineer repairs damaged systems and provides buffs to keep the ship operational. The ship itself functions as the crew's shared life bar, meaning the whole team goes down together if the hull falls.
PvP matches pit two teams of two to four ships against each other across a variety of objectives, including team deathmatch, king of the hill, and capture-the-flag style modes. Every ship and weapon is available and fully customizable from the start, with no leveling or unlock grind required to access the full roster, though players can fine-tune their ship's loadout and appearance to suit their preferred playstyle.
The game has received continued post-launch support since its 2012 release, including new factions, ships, and weapons added through updates over the following years. Guns of Icarus Online holds a Metacritic score of 64 and a Very Positive rating on Steam.

No. The core gameplay loop is built entirely around crew coordination, with each airship requiring multiple players filling distinct roles such as Pilot, Gunner, and Engineer. The game is designed and intended to be played with a team rather than solo.
Guns of Icarus Online is the original 2012 release, focused on PvP airship combat. Guns of Icarus Alliance, released in March 2017, is a standalone successor that adds PvE content, AI-controlled enemies with adaptive learning, and a faction war system layered on top of the original PvP gameplay. Purchasing Alliance also grants a free copy of the original Guns of Icarus Online.
Players can choose between three roles when crewing a ship. The Pilot steers the airship and directs the overall strategy. The Gunner operates the ship's turret weapons and manages ammunition types for different effects. The Engineer repairs damaged ship systems during combat and can apply buffs to support the rest of the crew.
Yes. Muse Games has announced Stars of Icarus, a spiritual successor described as a team-based PvP spaceship shooter, planned for release on PC via Steam in 2026. It carries forward the franchise's focus on crew-based teamwork in a new space combat setting.
