ICARUS (2021)

Embark on a perilous journey to Icarus, a terraformed Earth-like planet that has become humanity's greatest failure. This PvE survival game offers both mission-based challenges and a persistent open world for up to eight co-op players. Descend from orbit to explore a vast, hand-crafted wilderness spanning over 64 square kilometers, where every tree can be harvested, every rock mined, and every creature hunted. Prepare to confront a brutal environment filled with toxic atmospheres, savage wildlife, apex predators, destructive storms, and raging forest fires. Success hinges on meticulous planning and resource management, from securing oxygen to stockpiling supplies for deep wilderness excursions. Immerse yourself in this deceptively familiar yet formidable world, utilizing three distinct tech trees—planetary, player talents, and orbital workshop—to craft advanced technology, unlock powerful building materials, and specialize your character to overcome the planet's many threats. Choose your ultimate survival experience with three distinct game modes. In the **Open World**, battle the elements and apex predators for ultimate survival and test your instincts to their limits. Take on **limited-time Missions** to mine valuable exotics and earn Ren for the planet's overseers, dropping in with nothing and escaping before time runs out. For a more relaxed experience, unleash your creativity in **Outpost** regions, featuring regenerating resources and safe environments. Icarus, once envisioned as a new Earth, is now a testament to ambition's folly, its collapsed terraforming leaving behind a toxic atmosphere and a world ripe for exploitation due to the discovery of valuable exotic matter. This has ignited a dangerous gold rush, drawing prospectors seeking fortune and survival. ICARUS, developed by the survival game veterans at RocketWerkz in Auckland, New Zealand, truly embodies their expertise in creating deep, challenging, and engaging survival experiences, making it a standout title in their portfolio.
