    Its a steampunnk game where you fly airships in short.

    I like this game so far and i have really enjoyed the time i have played it with BarbieTerrorist, Killbox and David RavenWater.

    This game requires good amount of teamwork as you are 4 players on 1 ship completing different roles. Everything from shooting down enemies to struggling with keeping your airship in the sky.

    Player list:
    Aspius
    David RavenWater
    Killbox
    BarbieTerrorist
    Gabvid
    Stynnes
    Skoll
    Damion Sparhawk
    Catch

    I wanted to get this game, but considering how team-oriented it is I didn't want to pick it up and not have anyone to play it with. If some other sheildwallers want to consider getting a 4-pack off of steam I'd be interested

    there are 5 of us playing this right now but more should join us. The 4 pack have a great price so that why i got it for me, barbie, kill, and david. The fifth one is Gabvid.

    After our succes with playing the Galleon the last hour we can say that the game is really addictive if you have a good crew that work togheter

    though... I don't want to have to have steam to get it? is it available otherwise? And if I get it otherwise would I still be able to play it with Steam people :p
    (if not, guess I'll have to breakdown and get steam :p)

    I think it could be done, maybe not with the system they have in place, and it'd certainly be more complicated than a game without boarding of course... but then that's basically melee combat in mechwarrior... do you need it? no. Does everybody want it anyway? yep.

    I am monitoring this game already for a while but couldnt decide wether to buy it or not.
    If there are enough GMT people interested I will join.

    I am very interested in playing the Engeneer role. Steampunk ftw

    I'm honestly quite interested in this game. Gunner or engineer would definitely be my choice.

    I am familiar with Guns of Icarus, but I had no idea a multiplayer version was in the works. I just pre-ordered off Steam and should get to it this weekend.

    Hmm, like Stynnes I've been interested in this for a while but decided not to get it since it's so team oriented. But if there's people here playing it I might get it after all.

    can anyone tell me if this game is available non-steam (or will be available if it's not out yet) and if so if I'd be able to play with steam players. (I have an irrational dislike for steam in general :p)

    Looks like it's only available on steam. Only place mentioned in the faq on their site.

    This game is very focused on Teamwork and Chain-of-Command.

    I would heartily recommend this for any new lances who want to learn how to work together.

    I'd be interested in a part of a four pack if anyone else is thinking of getting in by the way.
