  1. Despite its faults, it is definitely worth gathering some friends to play it with at least once, and you can figure out how you feel about it from there.

    What I found was a good idea hampered by bland visuals and difficulty that never felt fair.
  3. Repetitive gameplay and an inability to communicate with your co-op teammates will keep Guns of Icarus grounded. [Sept 2010, p.82]
  4. This overly simple shooting gallery is a rip-off.

  1. Very good game, underrated. Great coop play, if you like that kind of thing. The review scores have only reviewed the beta version, which is shocking. Their scores should not be on metacritic. Expand

    Great game ,reasonable price,u gotta play it with friends,4 man squads are awesome,I dont like the repair machanics but still game is really fun and you need to be good at shooters if u want to be a gunner Expand
  3. This is an overly simplistic shooting game. In co-op, you and up to three team mates fend off waves of attacking aircraft. Since there is no communication options between online players, you will need to watch your gauges carefully to repair your ship, which will likely result in duplication of effort. In a sense, this is a little like Beach Front, with no urgency, as you can always repair your ship. Expand
