But there may be more going on than just Lovecraft’s machinations, evident from the many versions of Arkham that Tesla soon finds himself in… With the police overwhelmed, it falls to Tesla to track down Lovecraft, gun down the beasts in his way, and put an end to this unfathomable invasion. But old Howard has a few eldritch tricks up his sleeve, and unleashes a torrent of cosmic terrors on the town to cover his escape. Tesla has found a niche as a sort of local folk hero with his powerful inventions, and his most recent catch is the disturbed Lovecraft. Lovecraft are both residents of the not-at-all ominous city of Arkham. In this odd little mash-up of pop culture and pulp fiction, Nikolai Tesla and H.P. I struggle to think of another game of the type that allows for such unbridled chaos and fun, and just like chocolate-covered popcorn the only danger is overdosing on the richness. If we’re really beating this analogy to death, then Tesla vs Lovecraft is the premium zebra-striped chocolate-drizzled popcorn of the genre, one of the purest, most rich offerings of shooting joy. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, as you’re not going to find many folks who’ll turn down a big bucket of popcorn.
