10 Overlooked Nintendo Switch Games You Must Play

10. Tesla Vs Lovecraft

Another 2018 eShop release, this twin-stick, top-down arena shooter allows you to play as the mysterious inventor and futurist Nikola Tesla.

After his laboratory is burned down by the creations of horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, a showdown between the two begins.

As you harness static energy to collect power ups for Tesla's arsenal of weapons and his battle robot, you fight and annihilate the nightmarish monsters of Lovecraft's imagination that flood each game level.

Perhaps surprisingly, the science versus horror premise works, and doesn't take itself too seriously. This creates a fast-paced shooter that is unique and satisfying, with responsive, tight gameplay, and levels that are relatively brief - each around a few minutes long. Tesla vs Lovecraft also gives you the option to play local co-op, and to choose between three levels of difficulty.

There are plenty of perks to earn as Tesla levels up, and you can attempt to add your name to the top of the online leaderboards in survival mode. This is a game, from the developer 10tons, that makes sure it gives the player plenty to do.
