Guns of Icarus Online

Guns of Icarus Online is the original PvP steampunk airship combat game from Muse Games, the foundation that later expanded into Guns of Icarus Alliance. You crew massive armoured airships in a post-apocalyptic world where uncontrolled industrial revolution has scorched the planet and the survivors retreated to the skies.

The game's strength is the role-based crew dynamic. Each airship has Captain, Gunner, and Engineer positions, and every role is essential — gunners can't keep firing if engineers don't repair the components, and engineers can't fix anything if the captain steers into a broadside. There's no MVP path; if the ship goes down, the whole crew goes with it.

Ship customisation is deep. Pick from a selection of base hulls and mix and match hundreds of custom parts. Crews of up to four players form a single ship's crew, and full battles can run up to 32 players across multiple game modes — Deathmatch, King of the Hill, Crazy King, Skyball, VIP.

The cosmetic store carries no pay-to-win items; all unlocks are purely visual goggles, gears, and uniforms. The game launched in October 2012 and built a loyal community through balanced competitive play and respectful team-shooter design — a now-rare combination at this scale.
