Push Square: 5 / 10 by Brett Posner-Ferdman

Tesla Force is a bizarre amalgamation of ideas that never seem to really make much sense together. While science relies on experimentation, Tesla Force could really have used more time in the lab.

Video Chums: 7.3 / 10 by A.J. Maciejewski

As a roguelike follow-up to a pretty fun twin-stick shooter from a couple years back, Tesla Force incorporates plenty of interesting mechanics and systems that help make its frantic shooting action feel fresh and exciting.

WayTooManyGames: 7.5 / 10 by Leonardo Faria

I seriously doubt there are many differences between the next-gen and current-gen versions of the game, as this PS5 port doesn’t exactly look much better than Tesla vs Lovecraft, nor does it take advantage of the capabilities of the Dualsense. With that being said, it’s still a really fun twin-stick shooter with good controls and a freaking fantastic soundtrack, an easy recommendation for fans of the genre, even if the game didn’t feel like a huge leap over its predecessor.

The world is procedurally generated, so that every time we start playing, we have to face different challenges. During the game, we deal primarily with the elimination of hordes of opponents. There are several types of adversaries waiting to be beaten, which we defeat using a extensive arsenal of retro-futuristic weapons. In addition, on the battlefield we can make use of various gadgets and power-ups. As we progress, we also gain access to increasingly powerful perks that increase our combat potential.

Game modes

Although Tesla Force: United Scientists Army can be played solo, the title has been prepared primarily with local co-op mode in mind.

Technical aspects
