Icarus

Icarus, also known as Icarus: A PvE Survival Game, throws you into a hostile alien world where every choice matters. You’re a prospector, dropped on a toxic planet with limited time to gather resources, build shelters, and survive the wilds. It’s a survival game with a twist—manage your oxygen and race the clock or lose it all. Think you can handle it?

What’s Icarus About?

This isn’t your usual survival sandbox. Icarus challenges you to explore a dangerous environment filled with unpredictable weather, wild animals, and scarce resources. The catch? You only have a few hours—or days—to complete your mission before extraction. Miss that pickup and say goodbye to your progress. Stressful? Absolutely. Fun? That depends on how you handle pressure.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

• Resource gathering: Chop trees, mine rocks, and snag exotic materials.
• Survival needs: Keep an eye on hunger, thirst, and crucially, oxygen levels.
• Time management: Sessions last hours to weeks—you decide your strategy.
• Wildlife encounters: Some animals aren’t just curious—they’re dangerous.
• Base building: Create outposts to store gear and expand your foothold.

Solo or Squad?

Whether you’re a lone wolf or a team player, Icarus has your back. Play solo if you like going it alone, or squad up with up to 8 players. Teamwork can make survival easier—sharing tasks and watching each other’s backs is smart. But hey, sometimes chaos is part of the fun.

What’s in the Deluxe Edition?

• Additional chapters like New Frontier and Dangerous Horizons
• New enemies and biomes to explore
• A limited edition First Cohort protection suit (because style points count)

Why Give Icarus a Spin?

This game started as a free-to-play experiment but turned into a full experience based on player feedback. It nails the tension of a survival mission with hard limits and real risks. Got a tight schedule? Icarus fits short bursts or longer campaigns. Need a challenge? You got it. Just remember: always keep an eye on that oxygen meter. Lesson learned.
