    Its not that goi isn't a fun game or doesn't try, it is simply that the developers do not care about or play their own game. Patches are consistently loaded with bugs and broken features or even worse intentionally remove well beloved and used features, the developers are openly semi-hostile to all nearly all input from the playerbase regarding their new issues (aka "working as intended-Its not that goi isn't a fun game or doesn't try, it is simply that the developers do not care about or play their own game.

    Not worth investing in, neither in time or money. The game itself is mediocre, which wouldn't be too bad were it not for the playerbase. First off, there aren't many players - now, that's to be expected of a game like this, but the attitude of most of those remaining probably contributes to the decline. Out of the players that I met, only a couple of them were decent enough to play with.Not worth investing in, neither in time or money.

    The game has a great concept, BUT DO NOT BUY IT.
    The game is DEAD. Nobody plays it, therefore you will not find a game. I tried searching for a game with 3 other friends, and after 15 minutes had no luck. Even if you get a game by looking through custom matches, there's a high chance you won't be on the same team as your friends.
    ALSO, if you have no friends this game is not for you.    The game has a great concept, BUT DO NOT BUY IT.

    Got it free through humble bundle. Lacking in players.

    Most of the player base has been driven away by veteran players stacking lobbies, developers that dont play understand their own game and bias moderation. I wish a real game developer was responsible for this game.

    Fun game but the community is lame. They hate you and scream at you if you're new. No wonder there's only about 200 active players. Did the tutorials, tried to play, got screamed at for having the audacity to be new.

    Used to be a fantastic game, not sure what happened...Sort of.

    The gameplay is pretty solid, the mechanics are pretty solid. The community and developers...eh, not so much. People ask why there is no community or how they wish there was, well I'll tell you. I bought this game during its kickstarter (yes, it was on kickstarter!) and thoroughly enjoyed it for a good couple of years. But    Used to be a fantastic game, not sure what happened...Sort of.

I bought this game during its kickstarter (yes, it was on kickstarter!) and thoroughly enjoyed it for a good couple of years. But everything changed when the dev's attacked. Once they changed matchmaking and the entire overhaul of the UI, all the veterans (most of the community at the time) left.

    The reason being the matchmaking became poor (still is) and the communication dropped by about 150% down to -50% where you're communicating with yourself more than anything. Trust me when I say this game REQUIRES communication and is WAY more fun with a jokey, banterous team who also know what they're doing and can talk to each other. Sadly, you don't have that anymore, the community who supported them got betrayed and left and now it's empty and full of kids or 3/8 player lobbies with just bad game play...    … Expand

    The GREAT BASTION of A Game !
    There is some fun in the actual game-play, but the real fun is in the lobby and during the matches! You will hear all sorts of colorful language especially from the crew to the pilot and pilot to the crew uncensored and RAW!

If I did this on any other online game I would get banned almost instantly and have to buy the game again or open another account. This game is better than any other game for that one reason. The players in this game makes the players in LOL look like boy scouts. So I give it 3 stars for stress management tool. The game play downright sucks. It is BORING and is probably why most people that buy this game most likely use it as an ANGER MANAGEMENT tool just like me. That is why I am subtracting 2 stars from a free 5 star game. The trick to never getting banned is to always have an excuse like training new players. They will never ban you if you use that excuse. Also join a Clan. because even if you are unlucky enough to get caught by a newb for harassment, your friends can gang up and yell at your accusers and the great thing is moderators will keep silent just make sure you look like you are "defending the game" or training new players lol.

    Trash in = Trash out.
    The moment you log on to your GOI account you can instantly tell that the developers made a cash grab. You can always tell that a game is dying when you have huge advertisements in game. That is never a good sign. Forget about the unforgiving player-base, or the Maximum of 25 players when you log in.

It really shows through the game that the developer do not care at all about their players. I would rather have a giant middle finger displayed on my Guns of Icarus login screen, at least that is a more honest and straightforward message from the developers.

This will all make sense when you join the game and see what goes on in a match. But by all means do not make buy this game at full price.

Captians have to talk the other teams Captians to organize attacks. Engineers and Gunners will often spot an enemy long before the Captain sees it. And of course when the ship is damaged sometimes everyone has to chip in an repair. Lots of frantic shouting over the games voice communication normally leads to success. A great game if you have a bunch of friends that want to man a steampunk combat airship with you.

    2) Graphics: Very good at making yo feel like you are flying. Lots of cool smoke and cloud effects. Could use a little work here and there but overall very convincing and good. 3) Gameplay: There are three classes to choose from Captian (Pilot), Engineer, or Gunner. Obviously the Pilot is very important for the success of the ship. He/she has to constantly evaluate where the best place is for the ship. It helps if you have a crew that communicates... ie hey move the ship to the left a little so I can actually hit an enemy (since the guns have limited movement), or hey there is an enemy below us (since the Pilot can't see everything). Altitude advantage and knowing where your guns are is important. The Engineer is very meh for me... you run around trying to repair stuff or buff stuff. The Engineer can man guns but he has limited types of ammunition o choose from. Still... good engineers can really increase a ships survivability. The gunner is just raw fun. Point and shoot at stuff. Use cool ammo and make stuff blow up! Regardless of what class you play, EVERYONE has to chip in to help the ship succeed. Voice chat (already provided) is great in this game. There are also a large variety of guns and ship classes with different pros and cons. 4) Interface/match making. This aspect needs some work. It would be nice to be able to just form a party with a group of friends and join an available match. Also there are some glitches where you will exit out of match (you can rejoin though. Overall, for $20 its great for some cheap thrills with friends. You can just hop in for a thirty minute romp. Or you can play all night. Its a casual game but has some depth too. Its very novel and fun. As long as the developers keep working on it (and they seem to be) this game will grow into something awesome.    … Expand

    I've been beta testing since August, and I have to say, impressed is an understatement. The Muse Games team has a real gem of a game and here's why:

    1. Voice Feature. Sounds simple, but really, how many games do you play today that has a push to talk feature built into the game? This voice feature really enhances the game experience and promotes dialogue among strangers. This is worth it's weight in gold.

    2. Continual improvements. While this game just left Beta, that doesn't mean the team is slowing down, they are constantly adding new content, new maps and are focusing on producing a persistent DLC adventure mode. 3. Balancing. Ships feel well balanced, as does the logistics, the development team is doing a great job of addressing player concerns on a case by case basis. There is room for improvement, but as is, the game feels polished and engaging. The one point I'd dock is for lack of an ability to fire on another ship with a blunderbuss or a pistol. I hope they re-evaluate there position on this, but as it stands, this is a ship-to-ship strategy game.

    4. Graphics and Audio. Pump that settings up to high and fly your way through a very beautiful world. Muse has created some very interesting environments that allows for some very fun gameplay options. When your in there world, you feel immersion, excitement and drama.

    5. Developer Team. Very small but very connected to the community, they listen and they respond to the tester team, they continually improve the game and they keep a very transparent policy when it comes to artistic direction, technical specs and resolving issues. I see this team growing along with there wonderful concept of a game.

    Now go buy the game and see what I'm talking about. You will not regret it.    … Expand

    There is some fun to be had with this game, and there is definitely a lot of potential given how the game is still evolving even though you can play it now.

    It's good to see there are still developers who dare to try something different. Because let's be honest..how many zeppelin sims are out there now? Exactly. Guns of Icarus Online offers a fun concept, working together with some random players on a flying fortress, trying to defend it from other, similar foes. Bugs and lag cause major disappointment however. That's a shame, because the idea is great. Let's hope a great amount of patches will deal with these problems.

    Despite its visual beauty and impressive execution, limited gameplay and general bugginess hold everything back. This beast has room to grow. When it does, expect great things. For now, a little turbulence makes for a bumpy ride.
