At first glance, Icarus looks almost like a modified version of ARK: Survival Evolved with chic graphics . Farming, crafting and exploring the game world are in the foreground. However, Icarus sets a special trick. The time you can spend on the name-based planet is limited. You will only be sent to the surface for a short period of time to complete fraction missions.

After the period of time, you have to return to your room station where your captured materials can use to make new equipment or unlock new skills. If you do not want to do it back in time, is your character forever lost .

The dangerous world of Icarus can be explored both alone and with up to 7 friends . During your stay, you can also build houses and equipment that help you to help your mission or provide shelter.

Why is the Open World game already a steam top seller?

The premise of the new Open World game seems to be quite interesting. But why is Icarus already a top seller, although it will be published in November?

This is likely to be because the developers offer for pre-order access to the beta weekends . So these can try the game in advance. Every second weekend to the release, a new test phase should be performed with a new area. That alone is likely to be incentive enough for many players to promote the game.

In addition, Icarus is currently discounted 10 percent. Instead of 24.99 euros, you currently pay only 22.49 euros - another purchase incentive. Whether the game concept of Icarus really brings new wind into the survival genre remains to be seen.
