Icarus is a survival game where you can play with up to 8 friends in co-op. From the orbital station, you will be sent to an unknown planet’s surface for a limited time and you have to endure the brutal alien environment as you explore, harvest, hunt, and craft items. Those who survive can return back to the orbit station as veterans and exchange their exotic for more advanced technology and go back to the planet and take on more challenges.
