The science fiction and fantasy genres are two sides of the same coin. While some may think they are diametrically opposed, they share a lot of similarities, and some games have elements of both. Being found in the same game is a bit more of a rarity, but there are definitely games that embody both genres, and quite well at that.

10 Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

It should be no surprise that the loot-grabbing meets shooting game that has balanced genres for some time balances sci-fi and fantasy quite well.

Borderlands has always stood out from its peers, but with the addition of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands which mixes in heavy amounts of D&D inspired fantasy content, the IP has become something else entirely. The entirety of the game is a fictional TTRPG told in the sci-fi heavy Borderlands universe. The result is a combination of goblins, guns that shoot swords, and robots playing as paladins. What more could you want?

9 Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy XV - Noctis on his Chocobo going to the vesperpool islet

There's a lot to be said about the Final Fantasy series. The games that have entertained and stunned players for decades now. But, also mixed sci-fi and fantasy quite well.

Where else could you ride a Chocobo on your way to a flying city in the clouds? Even with enemy types, one minute your group of adventurers will be fighting cutting-edge robots loaded with missiles, then a few hours later be tasked to kill a god. They're games that stand alone in how they approach a lot of things, genre especially.

8 Shadowrun

Shadowrun Hackers Fighting Off Gang

One of the earliest entries on this list. Shadowrun started off as a TTRPG, but since then has jumped the gap over to video games, and done so quite well.

Shadowrun was made with the intention of combining sci-fi and fantasy genres into one game. The concept is simple: it's a sort of cyberpunk world full of super-advanced technology, but also magic and fantasy creatures that you'd see in any Lord of the Rings type game. It is a fun world to explore, and you'll wonder why more games haven't tried it.

7 Doom

A Gladiator in Doom Eternal attacks with its shield weapons.

Sometimes, to slay demons you need an advanced suit of armor and some high-tech guns. If you agree, then Doom is just the game for you.

When scientists on Mars wanted to explore the idea of a new energy source, who thought they'd open a gateway to hell? Well, they did, and now it's everyone's problem. As the Doom Slayer you are imbued and chosen to lead a one-man crusade against the demons. Not that you care, you just want to kill as many as you can with as many cool weapons as you can get ahold of.

6 Pokemon

Pokemon has been a constant part of our lives now. For generations, it has existed as a show, video games, trading cards, and more.

With it being such a constant, it can take some effort to take a step back and realize what it is: a solid mix of fantasy and sci-fi elements. Where else can you capture and train various mythical and fantasy creatures that embody various elements of the earth. Plus, you do so with an odd digital technology that stores them safely and transfers them from computer to computer.

5 Elden Ring

Elden Ring is definitely more fantasy-heavy, but it does have quite a few sci-fi elements that make it a solid addition to this list.

These elements are usually found later on in the game. Caelid often feels like a Martian landscape, with enemies like the Lesser Kindred of Rot looking like something out of an old sci-fi novel. Not to mention the Outer-God lore and enemies like the Fallingstar Beast pointing to things living beyond the stars. Even the Elden Beast itself is seemingly alien in nature.

4 Deep Rock Galactic

Deep Rock Galactic Dwarven Miners Posing With Equipment

Dwarves toiling in mines deep underground is a common fantasy trope. But, what if the dwarves were actually intergalactic astroid miners instead?

That's the basic plot of Deep Rock Galactic. A game that is sort of a mix of Minecraft and a squad-based shooter. Here you fight off aliens and mine for goods deep within procedurally generated asteroids. The mix of advanced weaponry and mining tools with the Dwarven comradery makes it a game unlike any other.

3 Darkest Dungeon

Darkest Dungeon - Farmstead Farmhand and Crusader

Speaking of things beyond the stars, Darkest Dungeon is another game that leans more to the fantasy side but has definite sci-fi elements to it.

This takes place in the form of the Color of Madness DLC. A meteor lands on a small farmstead outside the hamlet. The eldritch powers contained within the stone warp the miller and his men, warping their bodies and time around them. The result is a Lovecraftian escapade in the usually fantasy-heavy missions.

2 Pikmin

The heroes direct their Pikmin to attack a giant monster that resembles a shrimp in Pikmin 3 Deluxe.

You don't need to look too far into Pikmin to see where the fantasy and sci-fi genres collide. Just look at the titular characters.

They're alien-like, but also something that resembles fey or some sort of gnome. Captain Olimar being an astronaut adds to the science-fiction side of things, but then again the bright and lush landscapes full of plant and animal based enemies and characters adds to the fantasy side. It balances in an odd and childlike way, but one that makes a certain amount of sense.

1 Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor-Martyr

Warhammer 40k Inquisitor In Power Armor

The entirety of the Warhammer universe mixes fantasy and sci-fi genres, but Inquisitor-Martyr does so more than any other game.

As an Inquisitor, you are tasked to fight off the various things that oppose the imperium of man. Of which, no enemy is greater than the forces of Chaos. These dark magical entities can come in the form of daemons and even possess other creatures and warp the space around you to form hellish landscapes. This mix of a fantasy focused enemy with a sci-fi setting is what has made Warhammer a huge name in the genre for decades now.
