* ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', in which the Gate Disaster takes out half the moon and makes Earth uninhabitable for all but the hardiest of humans. It should, however, be noted that the rest of the [[terraform]]ed planets and moons in the system are okay; Earth is still in contact with the greater solar community, but is regarded as a backwater. This makes this Class 2 ''in theory'', but it's really more a large-scale Class 0.
* ''[[Blue Gender]]'', in which giant bugs ravage the human population of Earth, forcing the humans into space. Admittedly, humans as a species are allowed to survive as small hunter gatherer tribes, but that still necessitates all modern civilization's knowledge and technology to be wiped out lest [[Gaia's Vengeance]] do an encore.
Line 112:
* The Great War in the [[Fallout]] series caused one of these. Sure, it was worse in some places than in others, but humanity's pretty much been busted back to the Stone Age. Social organization is tribal in most cases and only the New California Republic even approaches [[Guns, Germs, and Steel|Jared Diamond's]] definition of a "state".
* ''[[I Am Alive]]'' The entire world is massively FUBAR by some unknown cataclysm. The player must navigate the shattered, devastated ruins of what was once New York in order to find his daughter and girlfriend.
* ''[[Primal Rage]]'' takes place in an [[After the End]] setting where a meteor has struck the Earth, the survivors now reduced to a Stone Age setting where giant [[Kaiju]] (either created or released as a side effect of the disaster) now rule the world and are worshipped as gods.
