Teslagrad

Command electromagnetic forces and solve puzzles to unravel a grand conspiracy in the steampunk platformer game Teslagrad, available on the Nintendo Switch.

With no text or dialogue throughout the entire game, Teslagrad has many surprises in store: in a rain-swept city, you play as a nameless young boy, a 'Teslamancer', capable of manipulating both electricity and magnetism. As the last representative of your species, explore the mysterious metropolis before reaching the Tesla Tower to uncover the terrible truth about a tyrannical king who once ruled the nation.

Throughout your adventure in this archaic European-inspired world, avoid and confront its dangerous inhabitants. You'll have to rack your brains: solve puzzles using your powers to manipulate the environment, such as the positive or negative charges of blocks and platforms, and clear passages to reach new areas.

Opposite polarities attract targets to each other, while similar polarities repel them. Adopt a specific polarity to move on charged energy tubes floating side by side, or bypass electric barriers designed to eliminate you! Polarize nearby creatures, then send them through small ducts and recesses to reach otherwise inaccessible objects. By the time you reach the first imposing industrial boss, your electromagnetic dexterity will be second nature!

Collect new items to gain additional powers (such as the ability to teleport short distances to cross chasms), then go in search of enigmatic manuscripts that may hold the key to future events. For the most difficult puzzles reaching extreme levels of difficulty, you'll have to proceed by trial and error to traverse the tower, especially against traps and creatures capable of eliminating you in a single blow! In this deep and mysterious place, ingenuity and logic are your best weapons.

With over a hundred 2D retro platforming levels interconnected in a non-linear world, not to mention an abundance of fiendish puzzles, Teslagrad will put your physical and mental reflexes to the test!
