#TESLA VS LOVECRAFT 4 PLAYER LOCAL PS4#
Do you have a friend who doesn’t live with you or can’t come around, yet you want to play with them? Set up Share Play – this will allow them to play local co-op games from their PS4 as if they were sat next to you. So bring up-to three friends with you to play along if you are stuck or want some help.
First of all, we have a local co-op mode. Once you’re done with the single-player experience, you have a few other modes you can play through as well. There are also a few boss-type creatures as well as the standard minion-types and even though you will be dying quite a lot, none of the deaths feel cheap or unfair – it’s all about getting the upgrades, levelling up and taking down enough enemies to improve your boosts on them. You also have a ‘death count’ for each enemy – so as you kill more and more of the same creature, you unlock a permanent damage boost against that type, so if you’re stuck on a certain level then the more you play, the easier they get to kill. In terms of the actual enemies, there is a decent selection, I’ve encountered eight types so far, each with its strengths and weaknesses. Those big ones are a pain! I’m basically about to die… The creature variety is decent, each with its own attack format. Also, if you die, hit retry and you’re back in the action immediately, no need to go back to the menu or wait for any loading – it’s as if the developers knew you would die whilst playing the game… This also allows you to experiment with what you think is best for each situation – yeah a lot of bullets is good if there is a lot of enemies in a widespread but if you have a bunch of enemies which goes way back, then a piercing perk will be best as the bullet will pass through multiple creatures at once. The ability to level up and pick new skills in-game (which are random) also adds to the replayability as every playthrough will be a little bit different as you aren’t guaranteed to get the same perks offered to you. Personally, I have been grabbing the extra barrel one (an extra bullet per shot) as you can stack the perks and turn a double-barreled Tesla Shotgun into an octo-barrelled one! Pure bullet hell! These are various effects like ‘50% chance for your bullet to pierce opponents’, ‘30% more health’, and ‘Weapons shoot one extra projectile per shot’. Once you have enough to level up, hit triangle and you will be given the choice of two upgrades/perks – but you can only pick one. Well, each level you begin bare-bones – level zero if you wish – and as you kill the evil creatures you will obtain experience. If you recall the controls above, I mentioned you can press a button to level up – seems strange doesn’t it, how you can level up whilst in the level but not outside of it. You have the choice of two randomly selected Perks when you level up – these remain with you until the end of the level so choose wisely. As a standard mech, it’s okay, but the real fun comes when you have already possessed the fire bullets and some of the bonuses below as they will also take effect on your mechs attacks. If you collect all of them then you can hit X and get back in your suit for a little while. Once you have unlocked it (by finding a part of it in each of the first starting missions) then you will begin the level suited up until it runs out and falls apart – it is a prototype after all! Once this happens, markers will appear on the screen showing you where the various pieces are. I briefly touched on the Mech suit above as well. Oh, and did I forget to mention that most of these special weapons and ammo are bright neon! Against the dark textures of the cities, the lighting effects of all these neon projectiles just look amazing!
However, the best abilities come in the form of a secondary attack which you use L2 to operate – these can range from a laser sword to a giant Tron-Disc style projectile which bounces all over the place as it cuts through the horde. The abilities are a little different, the above Fire Bullets is an ability that activates immediately, as does others such as an XP booster. These bad boys really do pack a punch and if you combine it with a pickup like the ‘Fire Bullets’, then you will be mowing down the enemies in no time! Aside from real-life weapons like a revolver and a shotgun, you will also acquire magnificent inventions such as the Tesla Shotgun and the Gauss Rifle. Throughout each level, random weapons will spawn from a roster of 10 and abilities from a roster of 11 – you begin the game with only a few of these but as you get further into the game, more will become available in order to help you out. You start out the level with your basic weapon and the mech (if you have unlocked it) which only lasts about 30 seconds before it falls to pieces. The perks, which are randomly scattered around, really help you in times of need.
