10tons has announced that Tesla vs Lovecraft, a game released a just a little over a month ago on Steam, will be hitting the Switch eShop later this week.
Tesla vs Lovecraft is a twin-stick top-down shooter which sees the player, as the inventor Nikola Tesla, take on the minion hordes of horror author H.P. Lovecraft. Equipped with a Quantum Teleport backpack, the player can warp short distances and even through walls and monsters, while the Tesla-Mech battle robot also grants the player an immense but temporary boost in firepower. A hefty arsenal of conventional and sci-fi weapons, power-ups, special abilities, and selectable perks are also present in the game.
Features:
- Use the Quantum Teleport to zip out of harm's way and travel through solid objects!
- Activate the Tesla-Mech battle robot to rip apart even the most hideous abominations!
- Attack with shotguns, energy weapons, and scientific marvels such as the X-Ray Blade!
- Fight through story mode with bossfights and compete in survival mode online leaderboards!
- Blast monsters together in local co-op for 2-4 players!
The game is set to launch on 16th March at $14.99 / €14.99. 10tons' recent Switch release JYDGE has apparently mirrored its pleasing Steam fortunes on the console, so the team will no doubt be hoping for a similar success this time around.
Will you be picking this one up in a few days' time? Let us know down below.

Well, they got me interested.
Big fan of 10tons, sign me right up.
Awesome, love 10tons' games, bought most of their switch releases

Jydge was the same price as this and I'm surprised to hear it had success as it's not a very good game. 10tons aren't a bad publisher, they have some alright games. This probably wouldn't be for me but it looks alright.
I will play if this is Tesla vs Edison. I can't wait to blast Edison with Tesla's death ray.
That is an interesting concept, pitting two different ethoses against eachother like that. I wonder if it has a story which touches on the tangled relationship between science and fiction? It is also interesting to consider what the plural form of ethos truly is!
"a game released a just a little over a month ago"
I can't read this without a bad faux Italian accent. 11 words, 4 of them are "a" and one is "a"go.
Love the theme. Might have to give this a whirl.
Looks nice!
Game is pretty darn fun. Look forward to having it portable.
This looks awesome.
They should have taken it one step further and released it with both sides. Play through fighting monsters, then a second time from the monster's point of view!
Hate annoying trailers like that. Bunch of sound and chopped up video. Goodbye lol
Where on earth did they get the idea for this game from?
Neon Chrome is one of my favorite games on the Switch. Over 50 hours of playtime, so far. Excited to see how this one fares.
I see this game has a discount for pre-ordering on Xbox One; I wonder if they will offer the same to Switch gamers?
That’s a combination I just can’t resist.
Never quite understood the fascination with Tesla and Lovecraft that people have, but I don't dislike it. I might give this one a chance too.
