Teslagrad is a metroidvania game where you play a son of a Teslamancer. Your town, Electropia is overun by The Corrupt Kings men, and it's up to you to bring The King down, who hides in the Storm Palace.

This game is done simple, but effective. Your progress is impeded until you explore for power ups such as the glove, that changes Positive and Negative which helps you manipulate magnets to lift doors, the Boots that shoots you forward like a bolt of lightning which helps you cross long gaps, etc.

Less is More is a theme with this game. You start by running from home to a palace where you are chased to, and it explains the story with theatre (That you can choose to watch. It's optional). Other than that, you are solving puzzles and you quickly learn how to make progress. To go UP. During this time, you find scrolls that vaguely tells you the story, and seems like a collectable until you reach the final part of the game, where you need a minimum of 15. I don't know about anyone else, but I had 20 scrolls when I got to this part of the game, and it elongated the game for me knowing that I may need to get all the scrolls. If you rush through the entire game, you'll surely miss scrolls. It's a game that you can play at YOUR pace.

The scenery, the music, the subtle story telling, the Less is More emphasis, everything was made very well, but because of this, the only reason you have to play this game for more than 20 minutes is the art since it slowly teaches you everything you need to do over time and it's understandable if you get bored of this concept over time. This game didn't have an instruction manual that'll tell you the story and what abilities will be available to you over the game like Super Metroid. You're going in blind, hoping for an enjoyable experience. From first hand experience, I did find this enjoyment. It's a short 4-5 hour game depending on if you look for a 100% completion with lots of replayability, and because of this, I give it an 8/10.
