About Sci-fi Games

Science fiction is a setting rather than a mechanic, and the sci-fi tag collects games that wear that setting — space exploration, futuristic combat, dystopian adventures, robot-vs-human conflicts, alien encounters, and the full stylistic range of science fiction gaming. Over one hundred and sixty titles span the subgenres.

Sci-fi gaming draws strength from how flexibly the setting accommodates mechanics. Futuristic weapons justify any ranged combat you want; alien biology justifies any enemy design; space travel justifies any scale of environment. Unlike more constrained settings, sci-fi imposes almost no limits on what the game can do, which is why the genre produces such mechanical variety.

Popular picks from this collection include Vector 2 Runner, Real Robots Final Attack, Red Hunt, Rovercraft: Race Your Space Car, and Data Wing. Expect space combat games with dogfighting or capital-ship warfare, sci-fi shooters with energy weapons and alien enemies, dystopian action and exploration adventures, robot combat titles, colonization and exploration strategy games, and the occasional sci-fi narrative adventure that uses the setting for its storytelling potential. Recently added: Defense Legend 5: Survivor TD, Data Wing, and Real Robots Final Attack — sci-fi titles ship regularly as the genre remains popular across gameplay formats.
