      Flight of the Icarus.[1] formerly known as Guns of Icarus Classic, is a steampunk-themed turret defense game by indie game developer Muse Games.[2]

      Gameplay

      The game takes place exclusively aboard the trading zeppelin Icarus, where the player's task is to defend the Icarus using gun turrets and by manually repairing damage sustained under fire. As the player progresses through the story, more turrets and armor upgrades can be unlocked to help combat the increasingly difficult waves of enemies encountered at the later stages of the game.

      Flight of the Icarus features four-player co-operation, through online multiplayer matchmaking.

      Reception

      GameSpot gave the original game a score of 4/10.[3] PC Gamer gave the game 44/100 review.[4]
