Guns of Icarus Alliance Review for PlayStation 4

Guns of Icarus Alliance is an intense action adventure multiplayer wonder. If you ever secretly wanted to be Captain Mal Reynolds from Firefly you have come to the right place.

This amazing game mixes steampunk with airships. Need I say more?  

Premise:

Guns of Icarus Alliance is a game by Muse Games. This team-based game focuses on airship-to-airship combat, where the only way to win is to work as a team because in these skies you will be facing co-op teams from around the world.

Not only will you be facing other players, but also AI and they are relentless. Skynet, step aside! In this game, you can choose to play as Captain, a merciless Gunner, or clever Engineer. You will face rival factions as you battle to take over territories and control resources.

Gameplay:

This game has a multitude of options — starting with deciding whether to play as a Captain, Gunner or Engineer or just deciding what kind of ship you want. Everything in this game is based on strategy. Once you have picked the character type you want to play as, you begin the customization process.

Some items will help increase the amount of ammo your Gunner can carry while other can help you with repairs, enhancing the ship and its guns.

There are also special abilities you can choose and unlock, which if used correctly can be extremely fun and devastating to your enemy. There is nothing more satisfying than charging your ship full speed ahead and tearing through your opponent like tissue paper. There are three things that are essential to winning this game: customizing your character, working as a team, and of course,  customizing your ship is essential.

his game has endless hours of fun, whether you are playing co-op or PvP. The world is ever expanding with more people joining everyday. You are never locked down into one faction because you can switch whenever you want. If you are one of those people who enjoys playing every level and discovering every possible outcome a game has to offer, good luck because I don’t foresee anyone ever experiencing everything this game has to offer. Between all the different people joining and the missions and the territories to conquer and defend, this will be a lifelong game that will be worth your time.

Conclusion:

After playing this game, you will find yourself wanting to play more. You can get lost in its massive landscapes and its endless possibilities for customization. So load up on snacks, get a comfy chair and make sure you have the next few days off from work. And if you play hard and find the right teammates who can think outside the box during the heat of battle, you just may just be able to earn your …
