![]() Certain perks work much better with certain weapons, and making a synergistic build can turn Tesla into an unstoppable force of deadly order. These are the real indulgence of the game, offering such dramatic upgrades like an extra bullet per shot, piercing shots, ricocheting shots, infinite teleports, and clones that spawn with each teleport. You get experience for kills and more for multi-kills, and if you get into a good groove you can be leveling up and gaining new perks every few seconds. Or you can focus on picking up new weapons like tommy guns, tesla rifles, and gauss shotguns to shred the hordes in more conventional fashion. Starting each stage with an invulnerable (but time-limited) mech sets the tone, and because there is always one mech piece to pick up at any time you can bee-line to getting it back for more invulnerable rampaging. This touches on what Tesla vs Lovecraft does so well, giving the player a variety of ways to feel like an immortal science god of destruction. There are more mech parts on the map if you want to jump back into your murderbot, of course, sometimes more than once depending on the length of the stage. You’ll spend the first few seconds chain-gunning anything unfortunate enough to be moving on-screen, and when the mech runs out of juice you’ll run around collecting guns, special powers, and experience to enhance the cosmic horror massacre. Once the helpful tutorial levels are out of the way, Tesla will start each stage by air-dropping in on his Tesla-Mech. ![]() This game is about deep ones, shoggoths, and dispatching them with hilariously excessive force, and on that point the game delivers.

But there may be more going on than just Lovecraft’s machinations, evident from the many versions of Arkham that Tesla soon finds himself in… With the police overwhelmed, it falls to Tesla to track down Lovecraft, gun down the beasts in his way, and put an end to this unfathomable invasion. But old Howard has a few eldritch tricks up his sleeve, and unleashes a torrent of cosmic terrors on the town to cover his escape. Tesla has found a niche as a sort of local folk hero with his powerful inventions, and his most recent catch is the disturbed Lovecraft. Lovecraft are both residents of the not-at-all ominous city of Arkham. In this odd little mash-up of pop culture and pulp fiction, Nikolai Tesla and H.P. I struggle to think of another game of the type that allows for such unbridled chaos and fun, and just like chocolate-covered popcorn the only danger is overdosing on the richness. If we’re really beating this analogy to death, then Tesla vs Lovecraft is the premium zebra-striped chocolate-drizzled popcorn of the genre, one of the purest, most rich offerings of shooting joy.
