So, I'm an avid online gamer. I play a lot of multiplayer games, because even a boring game can be made fun by having a group of friends to chat with. But one game I've recently started is fun with or without friends, to the point where I got the one-player prequel and beat THAT.
It's called Guns of Icarus Online, and it follows a TF2-like arranged battle, role-based combat. The difference is that you're all crewmates on an airship (pilot, engineer, or gunner) and you're fighting other airships.
Teamwork is essential here, and it's a lot of stress but a lot of fun to run up and down the rigging, fixing burning engines and taking a breather to hop into a gun and lay the smackdown on a blimp passing by. When you see one of those huge titans start to sink... it's euphoria.
I have had to make do with arranged matches so far, since none of my friends seem to be playing the game. Does anyone here play it? I'll gladly take any role, though I'm not very good at piloting yet. I'm a decent gunner and engineer, and I love doing all three! It's one of the few games where I'm happy whether I win or lose, no matter which class I play. It's also one of the best steampunk games I've seen, though I haven't seen all that many.
