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.

Having logged over 100 hours in game i can tell you this is a hidden indie developer gem. I bought it on a whim for 5 dollars on a steam sale a year ago and it has been a regular in my rotation. THE BIG problem here on metacritic is this game is being mixed up with the original single player game (Gun of Icarus NOW known as Flight Of The Icarus), which was a poor broken game. a FEW THING TO NOTE here.
1. The game is constantly having new content added, maps, ships, guns, character class abilities etc.
2. PC Gamer as great of a publication that it is played this game in a very early form or Flight of the Icarus, the game has for well over 2 years supported in game voice chat, and it shows, VERY few games will show off such team play as this one does. This problem with its review scores is happening a lot, the beta version and original Flight game are ruining the reputation of this stellar indie development.
So try this game. YOU will not regret it !

Repetitive gameplay and an inability to communicate with your co-op teammates will keep Guns of Icarus grounded. [Sept 2010, p.82]
Yea, this game is old and not looking so good, but the gameplay is great and its the predecessor of Guns of Icarus Alliance .

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.

The game is really good, piloting is fun and theres always something new to learn. The problem is the players as of 2020. If it was just the game I'd say its great, but the game is as much the VERY small player base as it is the game itself.
High lvl players will stack onto a single ship of other high level friends. Meaning its always mid lvl players with AI crew. And if you ask for them to share their crew they'll say something like "ITs JuST CAsuAl." But if you play calmly, they'll blame you for the loss. And if you even dare to say its because they have a full crew and you dont they'll just shut you down with a 'get good'. Its pretty crap.
AND they'll make you sit in a damn lobby, taking forever to hit the ready button. Plus since for a game to start the players must hit "ready" you cant start a game with just captains and just play because If a high level player doesn't have at least 3/4 on board they usually wont hit start. They have the audacity to MAKE you wait to lose!
What the game needs is for the game to force start no matter what in the lobby even if a ship captain swaps out of his position. The game NEEDS force balancing with players on both sides being of as close lvl and player quantity as possible. Players shouldn't be allowed to dictate what is fair.

Bad graphics, boring gameplay, cheap and monotonous music, cheap sound and graphic effects and boring campaign. I dont recommend to buy this game. I buy this game at big sale in Steam and after this i was playing in this game 10 minutes and delete this. And i never play in this game again.
