The concept is a lot of bite off and chew but with the already solid mechanics in place, it’s not hard to see that ambition will lead to an impressive package. Most important is building up the gameplay around teamwork and early assessment leads me to believe that the game will take flight due to the strength of that alone. "

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.
