There’s no let up as more and more spawn in, so you’ll be fighting and dodging constantly. You’ll be assaulted by throngs of enemies from the moment you enter a stage and you’ll be forced to hold them off from the word go. A good combination of powerups can be utterly devestating, filling the screen with effects. I’d have liked a great variety of events though as I felt like I’d seen them all pretty quickly. It’s a nice addition as it forces you to move on rather than farming crystals for upgrades.
Enemies may regenerate health, or you may get more threats to fend off. It’s a good thing they’re quick too, as there’s a constant timer running during stages that, each time it hits midnight, will add a ‘Doom Event’ to make your run harder. There isn’t a huge amount of variety in the tasks, but stages tend to be over so quickly - five minutes at the most - that the objectives themselves barely matter. Stages themselves have a few different objectives, ranging from collecting a set number of items and closing rifts, to destroying spawning points and just plain surviving. Suffer defeat and you’ll be sent back to Wardenclyffe with any crystals you’ve collected to use on buying permanent upgrades before trying for another run. Continue to be victorious and you’ll eventually come up against the boss of the chapter. If you succeed in completing your objective without dying, you’ll earn a bonus to take with you on your run before choosing another stage. Beginning with a choice between Curie and Tesla, you’ll choose your level. Tesla Force is a rogue-lite twin-stick shooter in which you and your friends take on absolute hordes of monstrous enemies in multiple levels split across three chapters. That’s all the story you’re getting, and that’s fine! There’s a local co-op option which is nice to see in the era of always online. Together they fight through Arkham and the surrounding areas, picking up further friends Mary Shelley and Tesla’s former nemesis Lovecraft himself, before facing down the grand mastermind. He is found and rescued by an unexpected ally in the form of Marie Curie, who agrees to help him fight back against the enemy. With the world once again beset by eldritch horrors, Tesla can no longer face such overwhelming foes.

I was very happy to see them return to that game I loved so much with Tesla Force, and happier still to give it a go on Xbox Series X. The developer, 10tons, are well known for this genre of game, with the likes of Crimsonland, JYDGE, and Neon Chrome being notable titles in their library.
It’s a tightly controlling twin-stick shooter with a ludicrous theme and I loved it. Whilst there were many incredible games of the previous console generation, one that I found myself coming back to again and again was Tesla vs. Tesla x Mass x Acceleration = Tesla Force.
