The popular physics-based game from 10 years ago returns
The sequel to the popular side-scroller Teslagrad is just around the corner, but if you want get a taste of what’s to come, a demo is now available for download via Steam. Teslagrad 2 is everything the original was and then some. Keeping the same metroidvania side-scrolling platformer playstyle, the upcoming game from developer Rain Games shapes up to be a nice addition to the indie franchise.
Rooted in Norse mythology, Teslagrad 2 refines the formula that made the first game so popular among fans of the genre. I spent around an hour playing the demo available during Steam Next Fest and was pretty impressed by the gameplay experience.
In Teslagrad 2, you step into the boots of Lumina, a young Teslamancer whose airship is attacked by pirates. Surviving the crash is just the first step of Lumina’s journey back home. Those who played Rain’s previous title, World to the West, might remember Lumina who was last seen traveling home in her airship. Teslagrad 2 picks up from where World to the West left off, but I feel like you don’t really need to have played Rain’s previous game to enjoy the Teslagrad sequel.
