I just got the chance to play this with a mate today and I must say, this game is quite the thing.
So without further ado.
What is Guns of Icarus Online:Guns of Icarus Online is a team-based multiplayer online airship combat game. Captain or serve as crew aboard an airship with your friends and fly into battle against other ships in a steam/dieselpunk-inspired, post-apocalyptic world. Each player takes on one of the three roles aboard the ship—Captain, Gunner, or Engineer—and must work together to take down enemies and keep the ship flying. The game is all about teamwork, tactics, and fast-paced action.
Basically you are all crew of a rinkydink steampunk flying balloon and you blast other similar balloons out of the air. It's all in first person, and everyone is running around as humans, looking at this battle as humans. It can get very intense, especially when explosions start rocking off everyone's blindside. Captains bellowing orders, gunners shouting for better angles, engineers scampering around trying to keep the ship afloat.
Here's what it all looks like in-game:
