<br>Writers, illustrators, architects, and political radicals have eagerly embraced the nascent solarpunk genre as an optimistic alternative to the gloomy, polluted sprawls of cyberpunk and the "everything has a cogwheel" decor of steampunk. Additionally, many Afrofuturist creatives have adopted trappings of the solarpunk genre to build hypothetical worlds where futuristic technology mingles with traditional African architecture, artwork, and fashion, as is seen in the fictional country of Wakanda from Black Panther .

There are plenty of options for players to choose from when building a character, from a katana-wielding melee fighter to a hacker who can cause an opponent to explode from within.
