Teslagrad 2 Follows 'Lumina' on her Quest Through Wyrmheim

— April 20, 2023 — Tech
Teslagrad 2 is a puzzle-platform game that combines steampunk and Norse elements in a stunning 2D world. The game is a sequel to Teslagrad, a physics-based game that was released in 2013. In Teslagrad 2, players control Lumina, a young Teslamancer who can manipulate electromagnetic forces. Lumina’s airship crashes in Wyrmheim, a remote and dangerous land, and she must use her powers to survive and find her way back home. Along the way, she will encounter Viking raiders, mythical beasts, and ancient secrets.

Teslagrad 2 features a rich and beautiful hand-painted environment that is full of hidden collectibles, secrets, and lore. The game also has an orchestral soundtrack inspired by Nordic folk tones and electronic tracks. The gameplay is based on real electromagnetic physics and introduces new puzzle-solving tools such as curved magnets. Lumina can also use her abilities to blink, slide, and magnetize to move fluidly through the world. The game has no text, voiceover, or loading screens, relying on visual storytelling instead. Teslagrad 2 also has epic boss battles that challenge the player’s skills and unlock new areas and abilities.

Teslagrad 2 is a game that promises to deliver a fresh and immersive puzzle-platform experience with a unique Scandinavian twist. The game was released today on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and other platforms.
