Tesla vs Lovecraft
Description
Tesla vs Lovecraft is an intense top-down twin stick arena shooter from the creators of Crimsonland and Neon Chrome. Play as the enigmatic inventor Nikola Tesla harnessing the static energy to power up Tesla-Mech and give the lovecraftian nightmares a lesson in horror!
You are Nikola Tesla, world-famous inventor and genius extraordinaire. At the eve of your greatest invention, your laboratory is burned down by the horror author H.P. Lovecraft, who claims that your actions have put the world in peril. With the help of his occult book, and a vast army of monsters, he has stolen your most precious inventions!

- Tesla-Mech, an immensely powerful machine of war at your disposal. Mow down your opponents with twin-mounted Tesla-Miniguns, and trample over monsters like they were ants.
- Quantum Teleportation, packed neatly into one handy portable backpack. (Includes a warning label about Theseus-paradox, whatever that is)
- If nightmares had nightmares, this is what they’d look like. Monsters so horrible they’ll make you eat up your own sanity!
- Save the world with a plethora of inventions and gadgets, including (but not limited to) X-Ray Blade and Death Ray Gun.

3.5/5 stars
Twin-stick shooters can either lose their charm quickly or provide some addictive gameplay, so it's fortunate that Tesla vs Lovecraft fits into the latter thanks to its fast-paced and gratifying design.

8/10
Tesla vs Lovecraft doesn't reinvent the twin-stick shooter wheel, but it does refine and perfect the formula of what makes that genre tick thanks to its suitably meaty action, vibrant visuals and a perk system that is deeper than the sunken city of R'Lyeh.

7.5/10
Tesla vs. Lovecraft isn't going to win you over if you crave innovation. There isn't anything here that hasn't been seen in other twin-stick shooters, but there isn't much for those wanting something off the wall, either. The story is lacking, but the game provides a solid and lengthy shooting experience, and even though there isn't a shortage of that genre on the PC, Tesla vs. Lovecraft is good enough for fans to check out.

Tesla is the avatar of power
Great mix of science and the occult. I enjoy the work of Lovecraft and the genius of Tesla to whom we owe this modern age we currently live in. The game has many great ideas and the admiraton of Nikola Tesla's work is seen on many occasions. I love the mechanics and the power ups. It's simplistic gameplay brought me back to the game years after my first adventure and its still great and has good replay value.

Like Crimsonland except good
The developers of Crimsonland have apparently discovered level design, spent more than 5 minutes on the textures and models, and invented perks that are actually fun. TvL benefits immensely. Be sure to get the DLC too, though; it makes the game easier and more replayable.

Great twinstick shooter
If you're a fan of Crimsonland this is an insta-buy. The gameplay builds on CL2 with epic perks, more movement, the mech etc. This is my goto game for watching podcasts to. Highly recommended.

CRIMSON LAND ON CRACK ! ! !
Great game, ok I'm top/down shooter addict but this one is really good. My only complain is that (at least so far) you don't get to challenge Cthulhu itself, but besides this, finally I get to play a Lovecraft inspired game that's actually adrenalinic and doesn't suck for a bunch of pretentoius BS like every HP game ever! give it a try!
