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. CD Projekt Red will always be known as a swords and sorcery developer thanks to The Witcher, Creative Assembly has a knack for churning out quality real-time strategy games and NetherRealm is an undisputed master at fisticuffs. Some studios are synonymous with certain game genres.
