The team included developers from Arx Fatalis, Dark Messiah, Bioshock 2, and Deus Ex - a solid pedigree for a freedom-filled stealth game. “Blending the do-what-you-want structure of Deus Ex with the masterful world design of BioShock, this game is really something special,” he said.

It encourages you to experiment with your tools rather than follow a formula. Jason Schreier also touched on this when he wrote about how the game suggested courses of action rather than set them in stone in his review for Kotaku. Klepek hammers down the AI as part of the reason why this game can support all the different ways you can clobber enemies and complete missions.

“It’s always been about expansive player agency by way of interacting with a complex series of layered AI systems, and manipulating that with your toolset.”

Maybe it’s an endgame feature I haven’t seen or it’s planned for a patch down the road, but for the time being it feels like an incomplete game without being able to control Lovecraft – especially with multiplayer options abounding.“Though presented in the first-person, this style of game has never really been about shooting,” Giant Bomb’s Patrick Klepek wrote in his review. To have a title like Tesla vs Lovecraft and not let you play both sides is disheartening – the potential here to control the eldritch and use magic sounds like so much fun yet it doesn’t come to fruition. Tesla vs Lovecraft also features multiplayer co-op of up to four players, but sadly the one thing I wanted the most out of this game does not appear: the ability to play as Lovecraft against hordes of robots. Having upgraded it twice, I noticed a vast improvement in the amount of damage I could deal at any given time. The mech can be further improved with crystals, increasing its armor and duration on the field by 10% each time. Not only is it satisfying to suddenly be in control of a high power mech, but the aforementioned buffs will also transfer to the mech, meaning the potential for absolute carnage just went even higher. As soon as the War Pigeon is destroyed, the parts needed to rebuild it can be collected across the stage – if you can hold off the horde long enough. Tesla begins every stage with the War Pigeon, whose health is on a cooldown until it runs out and explodes, causing huge damage to nearby enemies.

The War Pigeon is Tesla’s best weapon in the game: an incredibly durable, full auto mech. “the one thing I wanted the most out of this game does not appear: the ability to play as Lovecraft.” To add to the chaos, if the shotguns buckshot normally fires six bullets per pull, the above buffs would mean each shot would fire thirty bullets at a time! Weapons appear randomly on the field, ranging from a revolver to a shotgun, to a fully automatic electrified shotgun, and regardless of what weapon you have these buffs will apply to any gun you pick up. While these will reset with each level you start, the combinations you can make are just mind-blowing at one point my weapon was doing 60% more damage, firing with five barrels at once, every shot able to pierce enemies and keep going as well as ricochet off of walls AND poison enemies that were hit. The further you play into the game, the larger variety of perks you will have to choose from, but what really makes this a gloriously chaotic display of destruction is the fact all of these perks can be stacked and multiplied several times.

With each level, the player is presented with two perks to choose from with a variety of buffs such as causing a shockwave when teleporting, increasing the rate at which the teleport recharges, or lightning striking the enemy horde every eight seconds. “What really makes this a gloriously chaotic display of destruction is the fact all of these perks can be stacked”ġ0tons Ltd have thrown in a little RPG to Tesla vs Lovecraft, as Tesla will be able to level up the more demons he defeats.
