Yes, it has steam technology, very much of a fantastic style, but it doesn't put an emphasis on social things like class pressures and there isn't a focus on the kinds of dystopia often centra; to steampunk. Its far more fantasy at its heart and core. There isn't a 'punk' bit to it really. In discussion with one of the writers of the IK, he said there's a reason why they've labelled it 'Full Metal Fantasy', since that comes closest to the feel they want to get.I'd give a better and comparison of why I don't think the IK is steampunk if I had a copy of Steam & Steel on the comp I'm on at the mp, since I could copy/paste some of the descriptions I used there, but I'm on a uni one atm...</blockquote>
