* Some ''Series/DoctorWho'' stories have fit this genre, particularly in the early years when the show was more heavily influenced by Burroughs-like fiction:
** "The Daleks" - the crew land on the post-apocalyptic jungle planet Skaro, and go to explore the gleaming city in the distance to find a vital component for the TARDIS. They accidentally spark war between the NobleSavage Thal race, and the LittleGreenManInACan Dalek race, and lead the Thals into the Dalek city to attack them for good and get the TARDIS back.
** "The Keys of Marinus" - written by the same writer as "The Daleks". The crew land on the planet Marinus, with seas of acid and strange hostile aliens called the Voord. An old man blocks off the TARDIS and [[TheChooserOfTheOne tasks them as heroes destined]] to return four [[PlotCoupons Keys]], which they have to explore four different areas of the world to retrieve. There's a LotusEaterMachine city, an ice city, a jungle, and a KangarooCourt culture...
** "The Web Planet" - probably the most clear example of this. The TARDIS is ensnared in a web and when Ian and the Doctor leave to investigate, Barbara becomes possessed and the TARDIS console is stolen, seemingly by giant ant creatures the Zarbi [[BeePeople under the instructions of their Queen]]. The [[InsectoidAliens Menoptera]] save Barbara and befriend the rest of the crew, and they set off on a journey exploring their planet, encountering various different kinds of insect people, and battling the Animus (a sinister [[PlantAliens Plant Alien]] that has taken control of the Zarbi). Has lots of very dreamlike imagery such as the Menoptera flying in space through an AlienSky, the surreal sounds made by the Zarbi and their larva that they use as weapons.

* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' has elements of this at times, albeit ''much'' DarkerAndEdgier. It is not a hard sci-fi; gods, deities, and demons are more of an active threat than the realistic concerns of space travel; most of mankind's enemies are SufficientlyAdvancedAliens, the SingleBiomePlanet is the default and ''everything'' is RatedMForManly. As if to acknowledge the inspiration, the God-Emperor of Mankind in his youth is almost always drawn to look exactly like Conan the Barbarian in golden PowerArmor. If any piece of 40k artwork doesn't look like it could be the cover art of a planetary romance-themed heavy metal concept album from the 80s, it's probably no longer canon. Oh, and Mars is a crucial planet in the setting, that serves as the presumed resting place/prison for a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot robot alien dragon god.]]
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': The ''TabletopGame/DarkSun'' setting has a fair bit of this flavour, with its DyingEarthSubgenre-inspired desert setting, emphasis on psionics over conventional magic, and preference for [[OurMonstersAreWeird weird, alien-seeming monsters]] over the more iconic ''D&D'' creatures. This was also the setting most commonly associated with the mantis-like thri-keen race, whose [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four arms]] were a common feature of the ''Literature/JohnCarterOfMars'' series.

* ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' is a deliberate [[GenreThrowback throwback to the genre]]. Much of the action takes place on Sakaar, a chaotic LandfillBeyondTheStars ruled by a mad EvilOverlord, populated by countless alien species and located at a [[PortalCrossroadWorld nexus of wormholes]], all constantly [[SuperSargassoSea dumping the lost junk of the universe onto its surface]]. Director Creator/TaikaWaititi cited the cult '80s movie Film/FlashGordon1980 as a major influence on ''Ragnarok''.

* The first two ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' games have protagonist Samus exploring a single world each. She is tasked with saving each world from sheer destruction and can find in-depth information about the planets' rich history and wildlife through scanning lore, research and creatures. The third game becomes more of a space opera with the ability to explore and travel between multiple planets.

SpaceOpera is a closely related genre, but the action and adventure tend to take place more in space and on differing planets. Usually it is set within the context of a [[GalacticSuperpower galaxy-spanning civilization]] and involves at least some CasualInterplanetaryTravel. One distinction is that Planetary Romances are essentially [[JungleOpera Jungle Operas]] in space whereas {{Space Opera}}s are essentially SeaStories in space.
