All in all, this is a game that certainly was lovingly crafted from start to finish. The maps are wide open and easy to navigate, there’s a nice challenge structure as you complete each level, and the different colours throughout really help bring the world to life and make it pop.

From the abilities to the level design, there’s a lot to take in and enjoy. Going back to the positives though, there is a great sense of variety to be found in Tesla vs Lovecraft. Also, and this is more of a minor thing, but you don’t get to play as Lovecraft which is kind of a shame ‘cause I was hoping for a mini-game where you could write great atmospheric stories with terrible dialogue. It gets to a point where you need to step back and do something else for a bit. I understand that, in theory, the massive amount of levels means more bang for your buck, but after a while everything just seems to blend together. The entertainment value is definitely there, don’t get me wrong, but Tesla vs Lovecraft is a bit of a slog to get through. The only real criticism I have towards the game is that it’s way too long. That being said, this is a title I’m going to recommend so let me get the negatives out of the way early. This is a title where you come home from the pub with your buddies and you want to play something that is simple yet extremely entertaining (sort of like watching a Die Hard marathon). There’s nothing that says you can’t play the story on single player, but the game's just made for friends. It should be noted that, despite having a single player campaign, Tesla vs Lovecraft is firmly set in the realm of co-op. You, playing as Tesla, must then fight through hordes of monsters that have been summoned by Lovecraft to try and stop you. Shortly afterward Lovecraft is arrested and thus, the game begins. Lovecraft charges the stage and opposes Tesla’s idea, stating that he is “messing with powers he doesn’t understand!”. During said presentation, however, the equally famous H.P. Mostly told during the intro of the game, the plot revolves around the famous Nikolai Tesla doing a presentation for his new invention which offers the ability to create limitless energy. Weapons, power-ups, and a variety of monsters, the developers at 10tons know what players want and more. There’s just something about that campy type of game where you know everything about it is ludicrous, but you don’t care because it’s entertaining on such a primal level. That’s the most important thing I came away with after playing the twin-stick shooter Tesla vs Lovecraft. We as gamers deserve more B-movie style titles. If lovecraftian entities have a face slap 036 on that.// Reviews // 2nd May 2018 - 5 years ago // By Ethan Butterfield Tesla vs Lovecraft Review If we're counting everything in the SCP universe, that includes the scarlet king, the fiftheist diety, pattern screamers, and the factory, which each may count as lovecraftian horrors in and of themselves. Given that SCP-682 can survive changes to the fundamental laws of physics, resist reality warping, and is either fluent or resistant to mind altering madness things, I'd say he can probably survive Lovecraftian horrors at least.ġ348, 2343, 343, and others are implied to be high tier reality benders or gods.Ģ470 devours concepts, I could see it interfering with or possibly eating lovecraftian horrors.Ībstract pointer 2719 might help. SCP-2557 is incredibly weird, but I feel like they could probably by or sell the concept of lovecraftian powers, or maybe some multiversal entity might step in to protect his investment. Or whatever the Scarlet King is, since I've heard that SCP-2317 isn't the scarlet King.Ġ55 might delay if lovecraftian horrors still have memories.ĭon't know what the deal with 2165 is, but if it's bad enough that the concept of the universe decided to erase it as a whole and all memory of it, maybe it can deal with lovecraftian horrors? If all SCPs are united with the foundation and bloodlusted, SCP-2317 might be considered some kind of multiversal threat. If SCP-2662 gets his shit together and becomes a grown up, he should be able to help to some degree.
