Icaros

The year is 2057...

The third world war is over but two parties continue fighting over remaining resources...

“Recently, our recon acquired information about UAN’s secret military base. As the ace mecha pilot of the AAU you are assigned with a task to deliver a fatal strike to the UAN military base.”

Take control of the world's most advanced mecha, Icaros, and blast your way through the war-torn Neo-Babylon. The future of the world's last civilized place is in your hands.

Icaros is a fast paced 3D shoot 'em up with simple controls and rapid action. Jump in to the middle of dark future where gigantic mechas have replaced traditional artillery. Fight your way through the city of Neo Babylon and find out what lurks in the UAN's secret military base.

Icaros was our first academic 5-week game project in Pelitalo Outokumpu which was made in collaboration with Playground Squad, Sweden. I worked as a lead game designer. I wrote the design document and worked with one associate designer ensuring that the intended vision of the game was realized.

For most of us, this was the very first game we worked on, and needless to say, we were having a blast.
