03 May 11:03

The metroidvania market is oversaturated, but Hollow Knight's success shows that there's still room for new projects. Constance is one of them.

A small game from bildundtonfabrik achieved notable success on Steam and gathered its audience. Currently, the project has over 66 thousand copies sold and 2250 reviews, 82% of which are positive. It's not a direct competitor to Hollow Knight, but after Team Cherry's games, it's worth paying attention to.

Since May 1st, the game has been released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, as well as Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.

Constance is a hand-drawn story that is closer in mood to Celeste than to classic metroidvanias. There are no radically new ideas in the gameplay, but the game offers a pleasant combat system and exploration. There's a chance that over time, the project will grow into a larger series.
