Explore a savage alien wilderness in the aftermath of terraforming gone wrong with up to 7 friends. Survive long enough to mine exotic matter, then return to orbit to craft more advanced tech, enabling you to explore and conquer more dangerous, more rewarding biomes. Meet your deadline for extraction, or face being left behind forever. That’s the concept for ICARUS, RocketWerkz’s new co-op action-survival game that’s out now.
By playing on a GeForce RTX GPU, desktop PC or laptop, you’ll enable support for NVIDIA DLSS’ trademark performance boosts, and NVIDIA RTX Global Illumination (RTXGI). This enhances ICARUS’ environments with realistic lighting from the sun and moon, which naturally bounces from surface to surface.
Compared to traditional rasterized techniques, the difference is literally night and day, making RTXGI one of the most important advancements in real-time video game rendering. And as players level trees, erect buildings, and change the environment, lighting is instantly updated to reflect the changes, enabling a once-dark forest floor shielded by the trees’ canopies to now be brightly lit once they’re chopped down.
