Industrial
World War II . . . in space. The crazy excesses, tropes and themes of the 20th century's greatest war made even greater. Grades into TL4 (see below), with the distinguishing line often being if the guns fire bullets or energy bolts. Heavily biasted towards technology, with magic sidelined (assuming it exists at all) to a relatively niche role - often by black-clad 'psycops'.
- LOE examples: Atesia, Kraznya Zvezda, Fin
- Other examples: Gear Krieg, Many ahistorical WWII shooters, Fallout, Red Alert
Cyberpunk
A milieu that closely approximates real life, though normally with copious additions of cyberware and/or street level magic. The guns are a bit more tacticool, the shadows are a bit darker and the fantasy a lot more urban.
- LOE examples: Vittrix Xenofront, Na-Speza Metropolis
- Other examples: Deus Ex, Ghost in the Shell, Metal Gear Solid, Shadowrun, Real Life
