A story isn't necessarily dystopian fiction just because it has themes of oppression and so on and so forth, you could say The Jungle is dystopian fiction by that stretch of thought. I'd say it has dystopian themes, but remains steadfastly somewhere within the broader spectrum of fantasy.

Nor is a story Science-Fiction merely because it takes place on another planet with aliens. The thematic resonance of a story is more important, and far more vital, than a superficial coat of paint.
Oddworld is obviously an amalgamation of genres anyway, so the point is moot.
