Is this the golden age of Chyros not knowing what steam punk is!?

[General]

It most certainly is!

[Chyros]

It's got flintlock pistols in it! That's steampunk af! Just glue some cogs onto it.

Wrong century dude!

[General]

It has more of a "piraty" feeling to it.

Bah, nonsense. Everything between the middle ages and WW1 is steampunk era .

[General]

Everything between middle ages and WW1 is YOUR FACE

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Ah yeah, that well-known, real-world, steampunk era.

[General]

There is a lot of black white photo evidence of that era

[TheDR]

Why didn't more people record videos on their smartphones in those days?

[General]

They did, but there was that event which wiped out all the data. How do i know you say?

[Chyros]

GLORP

[Destiny]

ya!

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

You're on thin ice, buddy.

[TheDR]

I know that I exist.

Really liking Void War tbh, when it comes out I'm gonna buy it immediately. It's exactly like FTL except a bit smoother, and the universe is like 40k except it's actually cool.

[TheDR]

What makes it more interesting than 40k?

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Is it steam punk?

It is a cheap copy of 40k.

God-King has fallen (God King = Emperor from 40k which is worshipped as God by the Imperium)
The Empire is in despair (Empire = Imperium of Man)
The Ruinous Cults sweep through the stars (Ruinous Cults = Chaos Cults in 40k, Chaos Gods also called as Ruinous Powers)
Command ancient starships (Starships aesthetic look exactly like in 40k)

Even the guy in the game's poster has textbook Space Marine features >_>

Doc asked a valid question...

It IS a valid question. It's clear where it got its inspiration.

But I find it a lot more Gothic in nature, it's much more serious and dark in tone, and there's no orcs. It feels more like sci-fi than high fantasy. It's also a lot more apocalyptic, it feels like the end of everything is either about to happen very soon, or you're already in it.

Gothic
Serious and dark tone
Sci-fi
Apocalyptic

You just defined 40k...
And only silly thing in 40k is Orks, even then, their lore is actually quite good and makes sense, they just get portrayed in the games in a fun and silly way.

40k is so dark, Hellraiser is cartoon compared to some Chaos and Dark Eldar lore...

But then again, 40k is a vast universe (perhaps the largest made up universe out there) it is like Star Trek, not everyone likes lightsabers and force stuff

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

I'll make up your universe in a minute.
