Tesla vs Lovecraft plays like the sum total of everything that 10tons has produced so far. The end result is marvelous to say the least. Want to arm your Gauss rifle with the ability to shoot off multiple projectiles that ricochet along walls and have a 50% chance of piercing the hide of Cthulu’s children? Buddy, you better believe that there are perks available for that specific list of actions that you’re craving. Want to strike your enemies with divine thunderbolts every few seconds? There’s a perk for that. Want more charges for your special weapons? There’s a perk that for that. It’s also not the only trump card he has, as Tesla is able to turn kills into skills.Īnnihilate enough of the star-spawn’s children, and you’ll quickly unlock perks which allow you to add more flavour to your weapons. Combined with his mech, guns and limited use weapons such as static clouds of death and gigantic circular discs of doom, that alone would make Tesla a formidable threat to any danger from beyond the stars. You’re able to pull off three quick dashes to get out of danger, before a recharge is needed. Tesla himself has one more gadget in backpack, which makes him a slippery foe: Instant teleportation. It’s fortunately not only gun on Tesla’s arsenal, as he’s able to swap out his trusty pistol for more reliable weapons such as shotguns, Tommy Guns and even Gauss-powered assault rifles once they’re unlocked. That armour has a time limit however, and you’ll soon find yourself on foot navigating claustrophobic London streets and docks as you reassemble the pieces of the mightiest weapon in your arsenal. Hell, Tesla vs Lovecraft pretty much starts every match with the game’s primary party-piece at your disposal: A massive mechanised suit of armour that happens to be equipped with twin Gatling guns that can spit hot lead out at anything in your field of vision. You’re mowing down wave after wave of Lovecraft-inspired hordes, with the action feeling suitably meaty along the way. Simple stuff, but Tesla vs Lovecraft just feels so much better in action. It’s a top-down perspective in front of you, one analogue stick controls the iconic Serbian genius and the other analogue stick allows you to wiggle your guns in various directions. On the surface, Tesla vs Lovecraft looks like a regular stab at the twin-stick shooter. What’s an inventor to do when the spawn of a madness-inducing deity burns down his lab? Grab a gun and fire off some hot science right into their squishy heads, that’s what. Unfortunately, resident spooky novel writer H.P Lovecraft has burst onto the scene and he has a mad-on for all this fancy technology that is distracting people from realising that the dread elder god Cthulu is about wake from his slumber and lay waste to the planet with his legions of nightmare fuel abominations. In merry ol’ England, Nikolai Tesla ( that chap that looks a lot like late rock star David Bowie) is showing off the hottest gadgets and patenting bastard-coated bastard Thomas Edison is nowhere to be seen. Tesla vs Lovecraft is another example of 10tons doing what they do best, and sweet Cthulu is it a league above their previous efforts. And then there’s 10tons, a studio that happens to have a lot of twin-stick shooters under their belt.įrom Crimsonlands to Time Recoil, 10tons churns out plenty of games within that genre, the majority of which are solid diversions that boast core gameplay mechanics and simple visuals.
