Fallout meets Valheim and Starfield in this epic open-world RPG
This game looks like Dune and DayZ had a baby
A critically lauded open-world survival game just got a pretty hefty discount, and fans of Fallout, Valheim and Starfield are gonna want to check this one out while it’s still cheap.
Ever wondered what it might be like if you and your buddies got to take a bunch of automatic weapons to Dune’s Arrakis? No? Just me?
Well wonder no more, because killing sandworms with your mates and trying not to starve to death is the aim of the game in ICARUS - and you can experience it all for yourself on the cheap until 20 March.
ICARUS is an open-world survival co-op shooter from developer and publisher RocketWerkz, a studio founded by a fella you might know the name of: Dean Hall.

Dean is the mind behind the popular survival title DayZ, and it seems he’s refined the original idea and slightly reworked it in ICARUS.
Steady, methodical progress is what will keep you alive in this game. Establishing a base with up to seven of your buddies and slowly working your way into the unforgiving wastes as you hunt for resources is the only way you’ll be able to stay alive.
Speaking of survival, the pot-apocalyptic The Last of Us returns for its second season next month.
If you’re keen to jump in and give it a go for yourself, ICARUS is currently 35% off on Steam, bringing it down to £19.17. All of the expansions and added content for the title are also on sale, until 20 March.
Unfortunately, the only platform you can actually buy the game for at this point in time is Steam - although Dead Hall himself has stated that RocketWerkz is actively looking into PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S ports of the game.
Until then however, this is the cheapest I’ve seen all of ICARUS’ content in a long old while, so make sure to jump on this deal ASAP (and get a few mates involved while you’re at it).
