If you like twinstick shooters, then I recommen this. Not a hard game, but I think the DLC made it a lot more easy. I manage to get all the achivment in less then 15 hours and could have done it faster if I had not turn up the spawn limit of enemies. But I keep playing just because it is nice balance game and in the end you will feel like a god. Only problem is that it is bit short. Also the cosmic horror and Tesla crossover theme as been done in a fun way. The story is just there to drive the gameplay so nothig special to expect.

Tesla vs Lovecraft is an electrifying and imaginative top-down twin-stick shooter that pits the genius inventor Nikola Tesla against the nightmarish creations of H.P. Lovecraft. This game is a delightful blend of history, science fiction, and cosmic horror, and it excels at delivering fast-paced, exhilarating gameplay. The premise is utterly unique: you play as Tesla, equipped with a variety of advanced technological weaponry and gadgets, battling through waves of monstrous enemies summoned from Lovecraft's twisted imagination. The controls are intuitive, and the action is non-stop, ensuring that you're always on the edge of your seat. One of the standout features of Tesla vs Lovecraft is its upgrade system. As you progress, you unlock powerful abilities and new inventions that significantly enhance your combat effectiveness. The mech suit, in particular, is a game-changer, allowing you to unleash devastating attacks and withstand the onslaught of enemies. The game's visuals are striking, with vibrant effects and detailed environments that perfectly capture the eerie, yet thrilling atmosphere. The sound design complements the action wonderfully, with a fittingly intense soundtrack and satisfying audio effects. Each level is designed with care, offering a perfect balance of challenge and fun. The variety of enemy types and bosses keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging. Plus, the multiplayer mode adds an extra layer of excitement, as you team up with friends to take down the eldritch horrors. Overall, Tesla vs Lovecraft is a must-play for fans of action-packed shooters and anyone looking for a unique and thoroughly enjoyable gaming experience. It's a game that brilliantly combines its themes with innovative gameplay, making it a standout title in its genre.

This is probably one of the most insane ideas for a game i have ever seen. It does seem kinda wierd or even stupid you may say but it has been executed so well i have to say that's its opposite of stupid and it does fit very well into a top down shooter. The shooting is good maybe it lacks weight here and there but its really really good, and the weapon roster is amazing. The way the whole thing progresses reminds me a lot of Nation Red, the mission mode to be precise. You try to survive hordes of Lovecraftian horros and then work on destroying Cthulhu totems that spawn more monstrosities. Oh and the enemy roster is nice, its pretty accruate to Lovecraft's works altough there isn't much of them in the game. The voice acting is alright tho there are only 2 characters voiced Wich are Tesla and Lovecraft, we got a few cutscenes too. Both the story and gameplay is like a science vs god scenario and its made well. There are a few bugs here and there but for something made by not a big team of people is VERY high quality. Never thought 2 of my favorite geniuses would have an epic battle in a game but well its happening 9/10.

It's a cute little mini game and pretty identical to the game "Tesla Force".. don't expect a revolution, it's a rogue like twinstick shooter with bare mechanics, few different weapons, enemies and bosses mostly the samish stages in a questionable Lovecraft setting. It has it moments and sometimes you even think, hey that sound was kinda lovecrafty or, hey that tentacle thing is actually lovecrafty but I'd recommend this one on sale.. and playin another game if you want some real lovecraft vibes. It's really just a little game easy to 100% Runs well on Deck 04/10

It's a simple but very good twin stick shooter. I'd go as far and say that for me it's perhaps one of the best in it's genre. Playing it alone and a with others has been a very pleasant and bug free experience (I am not counting the one we shot).
