One connected world
The games share a steampunk setting where steam power and strange science mix. Tone links them more than a strict plot, which is the charm of the series.
The character database maps the cast, and the boss database shows the threats that shape the timeline you move through.
Robots and humans
Steambots, voltbots and humans share the stage. The characters page maps who is which and where each one appears across the different games.
The Great Healing
A world event echoes through the series. It gives the games a shared backdrop even when the stories differ in tone, scope and the heroes they follow.
Read between entries
Playing in release order shows how the world evolves. The series rewards noticing the callbacks, so a familiar name lands harder the second time.
Why it matters
The shared world turns a bundle of genres into one saga. Knowing the lore makes each new entry feel like a return rather than a fresh start.
