Tesla vs Lovecraft

Tesla vs. Lovecraft largely feels like a standard arena shooter with a neat—though not perfect—perk system placed into it. It controls fine, and the action can get nice and frenetic, but it’s a kind of experience you’ve most likely had before. Among all of 10tons dual stick shooter releases, Tesla vs. Lovecraft is neither their best nor worst work, and it doesn’t quite do enough otherwise to feel particularly unique.

Tesla vs Lovecraft is an absolutely fantastic top-down shooter and in my opinion it’s the best effort from 10tons yet. Some technical and control issues hold this mobile version back some, but again I’m positive these will be taken care of via post-release updates. 10tons offered Tesla vs Lovecraft for a deep discount during its pre-order period, and they’ve extended that sale into the launch period of the game.

Fans of 10Tons other games are going to lap up everything that this one has to offer, but if you've been left a little cold by the neon-hued cyberpunk of the dev's other games, then you should still consider picking this one up. The old ones might have awoken from their millennia of slumber, but you've got a gun that fires magic electric bullets and an X-ray sword that cleaves beasts in twain. And if you ask me that sounds like a recipe for a wonderful evening.
