"Muse Games, the team behind Guns of Icarus are super excited to have used Kickstarter to find both funding and beta testers for the upcoming steampunk airship combat game. They’ve managed to raise more than $35,000 from pre-orders and donations and they’ve recruited over 1,500 testers."
Jonathan Trussler writes: "Guns of Icarus Online: Alliance is one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had, but it’s not for everyone. It’s not for lone wolf gamers who like it to go it alone - it’s fundamentally a game as much about building relationships as it is about fixing machinery."
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.
On October 31st, the online co-operative/competitive zeppelin fighting FPS game, Guns of Icarus Online turned 4 years old. 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.
And I'm in it! It's gonna be great!
