A free weekend is underway
on Steam for
ICARUS, a Windows survival game from RocketWerkz with support for up to
eight player co-op gameplay. This gives a couple of days to sample the game, and
a 50% discount if you want to carry on after the free weekend. There's also a
double XP event for the duration of the trial.
This post has the details, including word on a new flamethrower item to get
players fired up. Here's word on the game, though it omits the obvious warning
against flying too close to the sun:
Endure a savage wilderness on Icarus,
an Earth-like terraformed planet now considered humanity’s greatest mistake.
From their orbital station, prospectors drop to the planet surface to explore,
harvest, craft and hunt while seeking their fortune.
From toxic atmosphere to savage wildlife, apex predators to destructive storms
and forest fires, Icarus is a planet with a temper. Preparation and planning are
everything, whether it’s to find a source of oxygen, stalk your next meal or
stockpile supplies for a long journey into the wilderness.
