A great game and not quite like like FTL. I have bought FTL twice and I never really got to like it. Icarus, on the other hand, is great. It is not as close as repetitive as FTL is and the fact that you can create a crew, walk around, board things, etc. make this a really great game. Of course, the graphics are not up to date but for a mere three bucks, there is nothing wrong. In fact it is a gift. There are a lot of games more expensive and not as close as good as this one! For the devs, I hope that they will keep working on the game. Add some more content, maybe a sandbox more or whatever. The game has a lot of potential.
What mass effect 3 could have been! Its better than ME3! And only one person made this game!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe (well, yes I can) that I missed this game. There are so many. I just finished the tutorial, and without firdt buying it, I knew right off the bat, that it was worth the price. I love these types of starship simulators but the ones that I have seen, just didn't turn out to be what I was looking for as far as detail. This little gem has it all and more. After just playing the tutorial, I am absolutley hooked. The detail of what you control, that you can move through your ship, transport to other ships and stations, is just awsome. I personaly like the graphics as well. To me, graphics aren't everything, meaning they do not have to be the latest and greatest. I personally and HIGHLY recommend this game to anyone who likes starship command type simulators. Enjoy!!
This game is basically FTL, but worse in every way. -The ship combat is extremely slow, making every battle take absolutely forever, even well after you've already basically won. -There doesn't seem to be a way to change what weapons your ship has, you can only upgrade them to do slightly more damage. -The first person combat feels like you are shooting BBs, with almost no feedback on if you are actually damaging the enemies. -Instead of constantly being pushed forward, you just wander around aimlessly until you feel like you are ready to take on the final challenge. -The UI is very unintuitive. -Your crew is very boring, very interchangeable, and you get far more crew members then you would ever need. All in all, it's very boring. Depending on exactly what aspects of this game interested you the most, you are either better off playing FTL, or Star Trek Bridge Commander/Star Trek Bridge Crew.
Great game, lots of fun!
For 4 bucks, cant go wrong. Look forward to see what dev does with new technology in future games.
This is amazing and I absolutely adore it. Definitely niche, but it's well-realized and feels complete.
A great exploration game. Its a lot like Parkan and another game that was for dos where you could explore in 3d but I forget what it was called. This is a great hidden gem. Its got 90s graphics but at least an entire ENTIRE decade ahead for its time! More than worth the price!!!
It has legit lol moments. It's a little passion project from the dev. It is a neat little space commander sim. Not for me because I got my butt smoked lol. If you can look past jank then you can have a good time here. Dev has moved on to other games since 2018 so this is the final state.
Really enjoying this game. I'm trying not to "cheat" and save every sector to make my decisions more important. AI isn't greatest but it's still fun to explore the galexy, fight aliens, try to hijack ships, kill things. :)
