“They’re right behind us!” Our pilot shouts, I pick up my mallet and run along the ship. “I can’t see them, bring us around!” our mains guns are forward facing; we’re sitting ducks until our pilot can turn us to face the attacking enemy ship. I climb into the rigging as their flamethrower licks our ship with hot jets of flame. “We’ve lost the engines!” “The balloon is down!” I lift my hammer to frantically hit our balloon pump just as our ships breaks into flaming pieces. Guns of Icarus brings an aerial twist to first person combat.

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.
