History SteamPunk / VideoGames

* The VideoGame/{{Syberia}} and its sequels are set in a mixture of ClockPunk and {{Steampunk}} towns, with the occasional RaygunGothic setting. This is despite being in the present day. The games are about RomanticismVersusEnlightenment with the idea much was lost in the transition between the past and modern world.

* Early designs for ''EpicMickey'' were heavily influenced by SteamPunk. The finished product landed more in SchizoTech, but some of the early elements are still visible, like the automaton versions of Goofy, Daisy, and Donald.

* In ''SnoopyFlyingAce'', the weapons Snoopy uses are outlandishly over the top, to a Ratchet and Clank degree. The weapons and airplanes are steam punk influenced, with a bit of comic book sci fi thrown in. Also the Zeppelin doomsday devices.
* The ''WildArms'' JRPG series combines this with TheWestern and ScavengerWorld.

** As does [[http://www.nitrome.com/games/steamlands/ Steamlands]], from the same creators.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' game series has a generous mix of DarkerAndEdgier SteamPunk and ClockPunk, especially in the second game with the Mechanist technology.

* ''Robo {{Aleste}}'' is set in an AlternateHistory Sengoku period Japan that suddenly underwent a technological leap to around 1900 and started making HumongousMecha.

* ''Steamworld: Dig'' is steampunk with sentient robots in the Wild West, while ''Steamworld: Heist'' is steampunk with sentient robots IN SPACE.

** Even moreso is ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', set as it is in the middle of a second industrial revolution, with railroads, trains, and steamboats being common features. Narshe is loaded with coal mines, railroads, and heaters that keep the snowy streets warm, the kingdom of Figaro is centered in a ''submersible castle'' that is powered with massive steam engines, and King Figaro himself, with all manner of gadgets, up to and including an AutomaticCrossbow. TheEmpire, on the other hand, uses [[PoweredByAForsakenChild the life force of enslaved Espers]] to power its MagiTek armored walkers and Air Force, and some of the more elite soldiers are actually cyborgs, as they utilize computer programs in battle and short circuit when attacked with lightning or water.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Angband}}'' variant ''Steamband'' is a {{Roguelike}} with a steampunk theme (One of the races is a steammecha, for example.), in which the goal is to get out of the earth's core to the surface.

* ''Gizmos: Riddle of the Universe'' is set on a [[PlanetOfHats steampunk planet]] populated by green men with surprisingly Earth-like names.

* ''[[{{Ultima}} Worlds of Ultima: Martian Dreams]]'' was about a manned space journey to Mars in an [[AlternateHistory alternate 19th century.]]

* The ''SummonNight'' series mixes medieval Europe with railroads, modern factories, along with other things, resulting in SteamPunk. This is a result of the game's universe being populated by beings from multiple other ones, bringing influences with them.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfInnocence'' takes place in an industrialized world, an oddity for the TalesSeries, which usually sticks to MedievalEuropeanFantasy with LostTechnology. The intro prominently shows a steam train and a steam boat, and steam engines are referenced a few times.

* ''SteambotChronicles'' (''Bumpy Trot'' in Japan) utilizes large steam-powered trots for everything (except flying, because [[spoiler:most]] Trotmobiles can't fly). The rest of the robots are powered by internal combustion engines. [[spoiler:As illustrated when fuel prices (along with others) skyrocket when the desert oil wells are captured by the Bloody Mantis.]]

* ''ShiningForce'' and its sequel, ''ShiningForce II'', featured steam-powered armor, ships, and ''[[SchizoTech robots]]''.

* ''SecondLife'' has a rather significant Steampunk population with entire regions devoted to roleplaying, including the Independent State of Caledon, City of New Babbage, Winterfell, and former City of Steelhead.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' has this with the [[OurDwarvesAreDifferent Dwemer]], a sub-species of {{Naytheist}} elves who disappeared thousands of years before the time of the games takes place. They were master enchanters in addition to their technical expertise, adding some {{Magitek}} elements to their technology. Their ruins and creations are still up and running thousands of years later due to the Dwemer having altered the "Earth Bones," essentially the laws of nature and physics, to make their [[RagnarokProofing creations last]]. It has all become LostTechnology in the ages since, with none of the other races coming anywhere close to matching the accomplishments of the Dwemer. ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' feature Dwemer ruins prominently, as those settings had the densest populations of the Dwemer before their disappearance.

* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' had a vanished race of dwarves (actually a sub-species of elves) who used steampunk technology. Their clockwork robots and steam-powered cities still repaired themselves hundreds of years after the dwarves [[spoiler: misused the gigantic heart of a dead god, and caused their entire race to wink out of existence]].
** Skyrim and Hammerfell are also littered with that race's ruins, and the steam-powered magic robots still work there as well. This doesn't even get into the magical spaceships from the backstory.

* The MMORPG (sort of) ''{{Neopets}}'' has a world called Moltara, where all the Neopian denizens that hail from it live underground in huge steam and lava-filled caverns, and the theme of the world is very obviously SteamPunk influenced. There was even a plot involving it a while back.

* ''VideoGame/CrimsonSteamPirates'' is a mobile game where the Golden Age of Piracy takes place during the age of steam. Naturally, this is an AlternateUniverse, where the Confederacy [[DividedStatesOfAmerica was not re-absorbed into the Union]]. While most characters are fictional, there are a few {{Historical Domain Character}}s, including MarkTwain (an expert navigator) and UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla (designer of exotic {{Energy Weapon}}s). Most vehicles are steamships, but there are also steam ''submarines'', steam [[ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld zeppelins]], and steam airplanes, and a few left-over sailing ships and sail/steam hybrids. Being a pirate game, boarding can also take place, but only in scripted missions. Weapons include cannons, rockets, machineguns (for airplanes), bombs (for zeppelins), torpedoes (for some ships and submarines), and Tesla's {{Energy Weapon}}s.

* Another flash game example is the ''{{Stormwinds}}'' series (it can be found on [[http://herointeractive.com/ this website]]).

* ''SecondLife'' has a rather significant Steampunk population with entire regions devoted to roleplaying, including Celedon, New Babbage, Winterfell, and Steelhead.

* ''We Happy Few'' is set in a dystopian alternate reality where it's 1964, but everything is in a retrofuturistic steampunk style. In this timeline the Nazis invaded the British Isles, and in order to stop them the British did "a very bad thing"; so bad, the population is now mandated to take a drug called "Joy" which erases unpleasant memories.

* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'' {{Verse}} - especially [[PS3 current-gen]] installments - includes visual themes [[RecycledInSpace not unlike]] Steampunk. All the futuristic machinery is [[ShinyLookingSpaceships pretty shiny]], but rough around the edges. Newly-released [[MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight Crack In Time]] is a prominent example.

* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' is set in the floating city of Columbia, which was made as flying monument of American Exceptionalism, and a secret superweapon. The inhabitants live in a Edwardian Era steam punk society, mixed with some bits from the modern era, which are taken from tears that lead to alternate worlds. However, it's definitely deconstructed, as most of its inhabitants are as racist, bigoted, and narrow-minded as people were in the RealLife period that it's based on, if not more.

* ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' has a very SteamPunk art design. Protagonist Corvo wears an elaborate mechanical mask, and carries a clockwork heart accessory. The non-player characters also wear very Victorian-style wardrobes. A spreading plague (not unlike the one that affected the UK during the era) is central to the plot. However, rather than steam being the dominant power source, the game world instead runs on whale oil.

* ''LunarTheSilverStar'' has this with a giantic BaseOnWheels called the Grindery that serves as the final dungeon (subverted in the remake ''SilverStarStoryComplete'', in which it is magic powered). There are also a number of steampunk enemies, including a boss called the Dragon Tank.
