It’s why games with silent characters are so popular. However, creating stories around people who actually existed is difficult, especially in games in which the player needs to put themselves into a character’s shoes. It would have been incredible to follow along as Tesla teased apart a mystery that revealed Lovecraft’s relationship with the Elder Gods and their minions. A story mode going into more detail about the conflict between the two men would have been amazing. Given the historical brilliance of the minds that this game is inspired by, it isn’t especially complex.

It draws on a firm foundation of his real world work – even opening the game with a lecture of his, introducing his biggest electrical revolutions to humanity – to develop some extremely cool sci-fi weapons. It has definitely captured the atmosphere of Eldritch horror, and Tesla as the hero is brilliant.

The game-makers have been very creative in their approach to both Lovecraft and Tesla, but in a way that isn’t disrespectful to their legacies. The smaller ones are even impeded by all the same obstacles that you are, which makes the playing field reassuringly level. They move believably, with heavy, lumbering limbs that swing around them and smash through trees and fences and cars. The creatures themselves are designed in a way that feels very true to the descriptions in Lovecraft’s original stories. The carnage is intricately detailed and it takes a long time to tire of the purple limbs that get flung across the screen as your bullets tear through the hordes of ancient fish beasts. The new additions you unlock – tougher enemies and new skills – are a lot of fun to play and also make sense as recognisable elements of Lovecraftian horror. It’s challenging enough to keep you gripped, however, and does a surprisingly good job at not feeling repetitive, even though it literally repeats maps, and the level progression is identical across three different realms. The mechanics are easy to get the hang of and you can power through a solid few levels pretty quickly. Tesla vs Lovecraft isn’t all that complicated a game. Choosing which skills are going to complement each other and knowing which weapons will make the most of that combination can make or break your run. Later on, though, as the waves of monsters are accompanied by the thrashing tentacles of Cthulhu, it comes in handy to have a strategy. In the early levels in particular, it’s definitely possible to just pick up the bits and bobs with the most fire power and blast your way through the map. You also collect parts of a mech suit, which combine to form a merciless killing machine that gives you a chance to rampage in a short moment of brief carnage. You gain experience as you slaughter Lovecraft’s monsters and achieve a new skill every time you level up.

You collect different weapons as you explore each map, with guns and power-ups spawning at random. You play as Nikola Tesla himself, using a vast array of weapons creatively based on Tesla’s real-life inventions to defeat Lovecraft’s horrific army of monsters and Elder gods.

The game is currently available on Nintendo Switch, Steam, Xbox One, PS4 and even iOS and Android. It’s a surprise that it hasn’t been done sooner, but thankfully the itch has been finally scratched by Tesla vs Lovecraft. Lovecraft would make for something genuinely epic. It seems obvious that combining the brilliant scientific mind of Nikola Tesla and the chilling Eldritch horrors of H.
