* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' is {{steampunk}} combined with fantasy - in fact it coined the term GaslampFantasy. Most of the weird stuff can be explained by technology, but not everything. The magic includes stuff like the river Dyne (which is an apparently natural spring the waters of which make the drinker a mad genius, though in most cases it's instantly lethal. [[NuclearMutant It also mutates creatures into monsters and can be used as a power source]]), Geisterdamen (who look like ghost-like beings, though they're solid enough), Frankenstein-esque reanimated corpses, Jaegermonsters (non-human beings with superhuman strength and [[LongLived lifespans]] who are former humans who drank the [[SuperSerum "Jaegerdraught"]]), multiple cases of BrainUploading, the [[GeniusLoci castle Heterodyne's]] seemingly telekinetic ability to move chunks of itself, and the whole deal with {{GodEmp|eror}}ress Albia of Britain.

* ''Webcomic/ATaleOfTails'': The setting outwardly appears to be pure fantasy, with magical martial arts, dragons with god-like powers, and a flat-earth world. However, it's all powered by a combination of post-singularity technology and eldritch nth-dimensional energy beings, taking place on a ruined ex-planet after a series of wars between a society of horny brain-uploaded immortals and an all-consuming (and also horny) cosmic devourer.

* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'': While the series is fundamentally fantastic, there's still a fair bit of science going on in the sidelines. Most of it caused by the kappa, who are an entire race of {{mad scientist}}s, but neither of the attempts at nuclear fusion involved them at all - one of them was actually spearheaded by a '''''goddess'''''. And then there's the time period that Renko Usami and Maribel Hearn live in, which is at least two or three generations removed from the present-day timeframe of the games and has advanced far enough in tech level that medicine can now extend human lifespans, a literal satellite cafe and hotel cheap enough to be accessible to middle-class citizens exists, and there is an artificial eco-dome in orbit around Earth that has been abandoned long enough for its animals to have experienced divergent evolution from their earthbourne ancestors. But Renko and Maribel both have explicitly fantastic powers, and Maribel is even strongly implied to be connected in some way to the series's infamous RealityWarper Yukari Yakumo.

** Probably best exemplified by the War in Heaven, the ancient (as in, it happened before dinosaurs evolved on Earth-ancient) GreatOffscreenWar that resulted in the setting we know today. Basically, [[CoolVersusAwesome it was]] nigh-invincible robot {{Determinator}}s with guns that can flay atoms vs. Irish[=/=]Tolkienesque {{Druid}} {{Samurai}} SpaceElves that could reincarnate after death using space magic and summon {{Physical God}}s with their minds. The Necrons were defeated and went into slumber and the Aeldari inherited the galaxy, which they bestrode like arrogant gods... which set them up nicely for the eventual [[LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair Fall of the Aeldari]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}'' routinely weaves in and out of this, especially in terms of some of the game's bosses, as some are prophecized ancient terrors, while others are elemental beings, like [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragons]] and [[ThePhoenix phoenixes]] ''made of'' fire, or lions made of sand. Even Moais are also enemies and bosses in the series.

To compliment the fantastical side, the series also has fleets of battleships, [[SpiderTank robot spiders]], and alien monsters made of BodyHorror.

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' has a bizarrely long and convoluted nature with the line between fantasy and sci-fi. Early flavor as far back as ''Antiquities'' had a strong emphasis on artifacts and thus technology, and the Urza vs Phyrexia saga in particular reads more like a SpaceOpera rather than actual fantasy (to wit, the bad guys are [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul a biomechanical menace with literal nanotech in their blood]] and the "good guys" are performing eugenics, with mech suits, specialised surgery and spaceships for days). This actually created some disagreements between authors as far back as ''Planeswalker'', which felt that the fantasy elements were being drowned out by all this. Even in recent times the blur continues: Ravnica similarly features genetic weirdness, the return to Kamigawa is a {{Magitek}} CyberPunk and Phyrexia continues to resemble sci-fi villains, particularly now that they have a faction aligned with Blue mana (the magic color most associated with knowledge and perfection).
* Monte Cook's ''TabletopGame/{{Numenera}}'' is inspired by works like Gene Wolfe's ''Book of the New Sun'', and is set a billion years into our future. The setting, called by its inhabitants the Ninth World, mixes a society with medieval technology with technological artifacts left behind by the previous civilizations that have risen and fallen over the previous billion years. Monte has cited ClarkesThirdLaw to explain the presence of things that would otherwise be at home in a fantasy setting such as "wizards" (Nanos, whose powers are derived from cybernetic implants, extradimensional aliens, or other non-supernatural sources), "gods" (alien entities or ancient AIs), and floating cities (kept aloft by some sort of anti-gravity or repulsor tech).

* ''Literature/TheSalvagers'' trilogy is a SpaceOpera where magic is so commonplace you almost don't notice it sometimes. Armed combat is almost entirely magic-based: snipers can cast spells to improve, guns are called “slingers” and literally shoot killer spells instead of bullets, and starships are equipped with huge spell-casting discs and “dispersers” to negate enemy magic. Financial transactions are paid with a magical glyph, robots are powered by arcane fire, and you can get a whole new face for the right price.

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' has a bizarrely long and convoluted nature with the line between fantasy and sci-fi. Early flavor as far back as ''Antiquities'' had a strong emphasis on artifacts and thus technology, and the Urza vs Phyrexia saga in particular reads more like a SpaceOpera rather than actual fantasy (to wit, the bad guys are [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul a biomechanical menace with literal nanotech in their blood]] and the "good guys" are performing eugenics, with mech suits, specialised surgery and spaceships for days). This actually created some disagreements between authors as far back as ''Planeswalker'', which felt that the fantasy elements were being drowned out by all this. Even in recent times the blurr continues: Ravnica similarly features genetic weirdness, the return to Kamigawa is a {{Magitek}} CyberPunk and Phyrexia continues to resemble sci-fi villains, particularly now that they have a faction aligned with Blue mana (the magic color most associated with knowledge and perfection).
