Tesla vs. Lovecraft is coming to iOS, and, no, sadly that’s not a racing game in which Elon Musk’s electric cars challenge the driving supremacy of Cthulhu. It’s still pretty darn great, though.
Instead, the game is a top-down steampunk shooter pitting inventor Nikola Tesla against a horde of Lovecraftian horrors, using a static-powered mech and assorted other inventions to do so.
The game, from the makers of twin-stick shooter Crimsonland, arrived on Steam back in January.
Since their previous shooters (which also include Neon Chrome, JYDGE, and Time Recoil) also ported to mobile, we shouldn’t be too surprised to see Tesla vs. Lovecraft do the same. It’s certainly welcome though, since its mixture of steampunk randomness and fine-tuned shooting action dynamics.

If you’re interested in Tesla vs. Lovecraft, we’d recommend placing a pre-order in the App Store now.
That’s because, ahead of its October 25 release, the game costs just $3.99, rather than its regular $8.99. Considering that both Lovecraft and Tesla passed away without much in the way of cash savings, that’s advice that would have totally made sense to both. Well, probably.
