Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future?

OG Planet of the Apes, Horizon Zero Dawn is too in a way

I don’t think there’s supernatural stuff on HZD

There’s not, maybe that’s what he means by ‘in a way’?

Great games, highly recommend them. Not sure they really fit the trope, though.

I’ve never actually seen, just the references. Guess it’s worth a go

OG Planet of the Apes took place on Soror, a planet in the Betelgeuse system.
