Steampunk is set in an alternative history of our world, such as the Victorian era, ancient China, or the American Wild Wild West. Western Steampunk is a subgenre that combines the aesthetics of steampunk with the setting of the American Old West. It’s sometimes also referred to as “Western Steampunk.” The Old West was a time of great opportunity and discovery. After the Civil War ended, many people headed westward, searching for gold, land, and a new way of life. This was a time of lawlessness and danger, when outlaws roamed the wilderness and Native Americans fought to protect their way of life. Wild Wild West Steampunk takes all of these elements and reimagines them with a steampunk twist.
