The Steampunk tag refers to a genre that combines elements of science fiction and fantasy with an aesthetic inspired by 19th-century steam-powered technology. Steampunk games often take place in alternative histories or fictional worlds where steam power and Victorian-era styles are prevalent.

Steampunk typically features futuristic inventions, advanced machinery, and imaginative contraptions powered by steam or clockwork mechanisms. These games blend elements of retro-futurism, adventure, and often include themes such as exploration, industrialization, and social class divide.

In steampunk games, players are often immersed in a setting where technology is driven by gears, pulleys, brass fittings, and intricate mechanical designs. The art style commonly reflects Victorian fashion with a mix of anachronistic technological advancements. Airships float through the sky while steam-powered robots roam the streets.

Examples of popular steampunk games include:

  • Bioshock Infinite This game takes players to the city of Columbia—a floating metropolis with heavy steampunk influence featuring sky-rails for transportation and fantastical mechanical innovations.
  • Dishonored Set in an industrialized city filled with plague-infested regions and political intrigue; players utilize advanced steampunk gadgets as they navigate through the game's alternate history world.
  • Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura Combines traditional fantasy elements with industrial revolution aesthetics offering players a role-playing experience set in a world transitioning from magic to technology.

Steampunk games appeal to those who enjoy exploring unique worlds that blend historical aesthetics with speculative fiction. They offer a visually captivating experience along with themes exploring the intersection of technology, society, and imagination.
