Hello everybody.

I wonder - if you can suggest some steampunk-themed games? Aside from Arcanum, Dishonored and forthcoming Clockwork empires?

Thanks in advance for answers.

Steamband, ahahaha!

... which is the only one I can recall directly off the top of my head, at the moment. S'a lot of JRPGs and whatnot with steampunk influence, though. And a buncha' other stuff. Depends on how pervasive an influence you want, I guess...

What about Thief?
It has a steampunk setting.

The Fallout series?

I enjoy Guns of Icarus for multiplayer fun. Its a multiplayer airship VS game with multi-person ships fighting other player air ships. If your the captain of the crew you can bring in your own, customized, ship to a battle. Engineers are useful at running around making sure everything stays together and buffing parts, taking the guns if they need to. Gunners can get equipment to buff the turrets they will be manning.

Ironclad Tactics is a card based tactical game based in the civil war. The Union and Confederacy are fighting each other with steam powered robots. I have not played it so I have no idea how it is.

Steamband was the first one in my mind too... Though it's a -band so I haven't touched it with a 10 foot pole
Continuing with roguelikes: Dungeons of Dredmor has some steampunk heavy skill trees. Incidentally it's made by the same guys as Clockwork Empires.

Warcraft 3 has some steampunk stuff with goblins and dwarves, though it's definitely not main draw of the game.

The Fallout series?

I wouldn't say that qualifies at all. Fallout obviously takes massive inspiration from A Boy and his Dog/Mad Max 2 and the wave of post-apocalyptic media that followed. They are often described as "crust punk" (although I think "scrapyard punk" is a better term).

Steampunk is a particular genre which take Victorian settings and themes and applies some form of modern technology to it. The technology has to be constructed with the materials and methods that were available at the time so the technologies generally use mechanical energy instead of electrically. Remember to apply generous amounts of dapper.

Windforge is an upcoming game that looks like it has a lot in common with games like Starbound and Terraria. Looks promising!

Some games looks quite interesting. Thanks for all your posts, I really like bay12 community for kindness )

Dishonored could be loosely described as steampunk.

For example:

Spoiler: Pistol (click to show/hide)

However, my knowledge on steampunk style is loose, so I may be wrong.

Space:1889 a bit of an oldie (1990).

And Arcanum (2000)

Rise of Legends (2006) - a variant of Rise of Nations, has a Steampunk civ.

I guess I'll have to mention Clockwork Empires.

I did not read well.

Ignore my post then, apologies

I think Bioshock would be a great series for steampunk especially for Infinite.

For a somewhat older, vastly quirkier, and less well known Gamecube game: Trotmobile Chronicles. It's a game about being a member of a band that travels around the world on steam powered robots, set in a world where cars were somehow designed with legs instead of wheels.

Also you get to invent the electric guitar.
