You are the pilot of a zeppelin, the Icarus, which travels across a vast and barren landscape delivering goods to the needy survivors of some apocalypse. The journey is not an easy one, however, as greedy pirates will plague you along every meter of your route. Your only means of protection from these air pirates are the titular guns of your airship, which start off fairly weak but access to better guns become available as your complete each stage of your route (i.e., level). You're able to choose the route you wish to follow, with each stage offering a different level of difficulty and a different set of rewards for making it through with a certain percentage of your cargo still intact.
Neocrisis - We had the pleasure of getting a few questions answered by Jess Haskins, one of the game designers, about Guns of Icarus. She is also Muse Games's community rep & story writer.

The developer Muse Games have sustained their company over the last few years through a myriad of hardships from office fires, to “vicious publishers” but have managed to garner one of the most unique and fun games the TZR staff has had the opportunity to play.
Thanks for Aguila's Nest offering the exclusive review. If you haven't noticed yet this game is unique, and you will "almost" impossible to compare to another title in the present day.
