Line 23:
* In ''[[Heat Guy J]]'', after humans appropriated the technology of the [[Superior Species|Celestials]] in [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|their conquest for power]], there were apparently large-scale wars. The result? Earth's human population is reduced to ''seven'' city-states (with some small towns and [[Space Amish]] villages surrounding them), who are mistrustful of one another and do not trade, communicate, etc. with one another.
* In ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato]]'' humanity is reduced to survival in underground cites that are rapidly becoming uninhabitable due to radiation thanks to the Gamilas' continual bombing of Earth.
* ''[[Turn A Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]]'': This was the end result of the Turn A using the Moonlight Butterfly across all of the Earth's surface. The ability works by spreading nanomachines around that attack technology, turning it into sand. 2,000 years later, Earthborn humanity is barely up to early 1900s technology levels. {{spoiler|The final battle of the series is trying to stop Ghingnham and the Turn X from doing this ''again''.}}
* ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]'' takes place a thousand years after the world has been devastated by what's implied to have been a nuclear war. The survivors have organized themselves into petty kingdoms, but are still at war with one another and technology has only progressed to the late medieval period for the most part (save for some remnants of pre-deluge technology like airplanes).
 
Line 90:
* The "Crucible Of God" scenario in ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'''s final supplement, ''Gehenna'', ends in this (if the PCs ''win''), with about 90% of the Earth's humans depopulated (and corresponding numbers of most other life).
** This is also what happens if the [[Werewolf: The Apocalypse|Garou]] ''win''. You don't want to know what it'd be like if they ''lose''.
* Observed with regularity in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]''. A significant number of Imperial worlds are ancient human colonies that fell into this, either independently or as part of larger-scale cataclysms and wars, then slowly worked their way back up to Stone Age or medieval-era levels over the course of thousands of years.
* The Yozis in ''[[Exalted]]'' are trying to do this to creation, but it only falls into this category because they're not going to kill all humans. If the Yozis were to succeed it would be worse than a Class Z.
* In ''[[Rifts]]'', a small nuclear exchange during a major surge in the planet's magical field wiped out all human civilization, and nearly wiped out humanity itself. In the three hundred years since, small pockets of civilization have emerged here and there, but 90% of humanity lives as subsistence farmers or hunter-gatherers.
