The German studio Blue Backpack has announced the arrival on consoles of Constance, an interesting hand-drawn 2D metroidvania that has already garnered a lot of acclaim on PC. The title will be available from May 1st.

The game made its debut on PC last December, being very positively received by critics and receiving important comparisons with milestones of the genre such as Hollow Knight and Celeste. Now console users will also be able to immerse themselves in this adventure characterized by fluid and dynamic gameplay, defined by the developers as based on the "flow-state", or a continuous flow of action.

In Constance we will wield a magic brush and we will have the unique ability to transform ourselves into paint. This mechanic will allow us to literally dive into the ground and walls, cut through the air and defeat enemies using a variety of painting techniques. As we progress in the adventure, we will unlock new skills that will allow us to overcome increasingly complex platforming challenges and solve environmental puzzles.

The exploration will take us through six unique biomes located in the inner world of the protagonist: each region, with its enemies and characters, represents different aspects of Constance's psyche and personal history. We will have to explore this non-linear and interconnected world to unravel countless secrets, face deadly bosses and complete side quests, helping the protagonist understand her inner struggles and unlock her creativity.

We leave you with the trailer announcing the release date on consoles.
