Dark Age and Eden (I’ve tried the latter) are both based on another planet other than Earth, but they are Post-Apo. From what I’ve read of the rules for Dark Age, both it and Eden are very similar in background. But Eden focuses more on melee combat, not so much on ranged.

Bushido is fantasy Japanese, so besides the usual Samurai figures, you get the Oni (demons Japanese style which is pretty cool). It’s apparently also a decent skirmish game. My Rise of the Kage box is on the way to me, and I bought the cards that will allow me to play using the Bushido rules, so I’ll know more about it later.
