Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm proud to say I never looked at a guide for either of the two games X3 Of course I litterally devoted hours upon hours to the puzzles and games... and a note full of every minute detail I came accross @_@ God I loved those games... still one of the most visually stunning seires for the PC in my opinion. The opening of the first game and that quote that the guy reads is still so haunting.

If you can get a hold of them the book series based on the games delves quite a bit deeper then it does in the games, you learn quite a bit obout the D'ni culture you wouldn't see otherwise. The first couple actually cronicle the man who wrote the Myst book (the one you get sucked into in the first game). But they'd be hard to get a hold of outside maybe Amazon.com or something.

I agree. I love the visuals in the game. You can make robots. XD

Steam user.

I'm not sure about a game, but there is a mod for Half Life 2 called Iron Grip, -.-*sigh* but no one plays it.

Depending on Mods and Hakpaks, Neverwinter Nights CAN go into Steampunk Territories (and in fact the Community Hakpak, given for free on the site's homepage, has plenty of easy-to-use-for-Steampunk items and such; I used to go into the city of the Lady of Pain, whose name escapes me atm, as a hi-tech golem from a plane of existence that was essentially an evil version of Nirvana.)

Hate to nit-pick, but the game is called "Rise of Legends", and the race is called the Vinci. It's a RTS, whose calling card is "Magic versus Technology"
They've decided to keep everything out of the ordinary, but still recognizable.

There's the Vinci, based on the drawings and ideas of Leonardo DaVinci. These guys just OOZE steampunk, with some welcome additions. (Italian accents and renissance undertones in construction)

There's the Alin, based on Arabic legend. There are three schools of magic: Sand, Fire, and Glass. Salamanders, Ifrits, scorpions and Genies constitute their ranks.

And then there are the Cuotl, a mayan-based culture who worship their alien overlords as gods. They have stone jaguars, laser weaponry, and massive mobile idols.



Also, another (somewhat) steampunk game I'd like to mention are Battalion Wars and Battalion Wars 2, for the Gamecube and Wii. The Xlyvanians have the visual flair and emotions of WWI Germany, with biplanes, zepplins, gasmasks, and piping.

Also, their ancestors, the Iron Legion, are orc-like creatures with smokestacks and furnaces visible even in their architecture. All this is in a "cute" style similar to Advance Wars on the Gameboy Advance and DS

Oh yes, definately American McGee's Alice. That game's got such a godawful pretty world...especially the Mad Hatter's layer, but the chess levels are cool too.

rise of legends and bioshock are two very steampunkish games, i found rise of legends to be pretty slow on the gameplay though.

i belive the steampunk Korean mmo was called steamrunners or steamrollers.

theres an islandic game called steamgunners around for the pc which is a rts kinda like commandos, top down mouse controlled shooter, but point and click based on where your guys go and what they shoot at.
