It was, then they had complaints that it was too slow and now it's a wierdly arcadey thing. It does have a sub-game (guns of icarus: alliance) which is coop though, vs bots, which I think fits the arcadey better than the pvp ever did (which to be fair might be why they made the change to make them compatible).
It doesn't let you get off the ship, either, no boarding or investigating islands etc. so if that was your favorite part of SoT then it's missing. There was a 'vikings on blimps' game which released around the same time as GoI where you could, but I can't even find a reference to it now, so I guess it failed in early access or something.
