About

Guns of Icarus Online is a 2012 team-based multiplayer airship combat game that puts you in the role of Captain, Gunner, or Engineer aboard a steam-powered vessel. You'll coordinate with crew members to battle enemy ships in a dieselpunk-inspired, post-apocalyptic world, making communication and teamwork essential to victory. The game's cooperative gameplay and unique setting have made it a standout in the indie action-adventure space.

This is a highly accessible title that won't stress your hardware. Even entry-level GPUs with a benchmark score around 96 can handle it smoothly, making it one of the more forgiving games for older systems. You can expect solid FPS performance across various graphics settings, and 2 GB of RAM is sufficient for comfortable play. Most mid-range GPUs will deliver excellent frame rates, so this isn't a demanding benchmark game by modern standards.

With a 55/100 rating, Guns of Icarus Online offers fun cooperative gameplay that appeals specifically to team-oriented players who enjoy communication-heavy games. If you're looking for a lighthearted multiplayer experience that won't require a high-end GPU, it's worth trying, though it may not captivate single-player focused gamers.

Performance profile

October 2012 release. Guns of Icarus Online targets mid-2000s-to-early-2010s hardware — any modern entry-level GPU (GTX 1650 tier or newer integrated graphics) handles it at 1080p Ultra without breaking a sweat.

Simulation titles like Guns of Icarus Online are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.

Extremely light — Guns of Icarus Online runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

Three hundred years have passed since the Great War consumed the planet. Three hundred years since the human race ate hungrily of mother earth, squandering resources that could have carried them forward for millennia. In the heat of the sun, there is an unsettling, inescapable truth: man has fallen from his throne. Humanity now lives among the ruins left by a century of conflict, but from the wrecked steel of the past they will forge their own future. Lighter-than-air technology has inspired intrepid pioneers to take to the skies in search of trade and resources to support their towns and families. Enterprising craftsmen fashion elaborate machines out of scavenged scraps. The desperate and ruthless take what they can by force. Despite all that was lost, a renewed passion for invention has emerged, along with a deep respect for the fragility of life. Explorers and philosophers travel in search of forgotten knowledge now scattered beneath the wastes. The survivors are inventors, pilots, captains, craftsmen, adventurers, fighters, privateers, merchants, engineers, farmers and scholars. They herald a new age for humanity: an age of rebirth.
