Game description: Inspired by the film by Warner Bros., and based on the graphic novels by DC Comics and Vertigo Hellblazer, Constantine is an intense horror game that literally takes you to Hell and back. You play as John Constantine, an irreverent mystic detective who must embark on an investigation in a supernatural world that exists just beneath Los Angeles. To survive, you must use an array of powerful incantations and holy artifacts, including the crucifier, holy shotgun, and flamethrower. Your "true sight" ability helps you identify demons and other secrets.
The game stars John Constantine, the main character from the movie Constantine and the comic book series, Hellblazer, as he learns that unholy animals are somehow crossing into the realm of earth without care. It is a movie tie-in license of the Warner Bros. film Constantine, in turn based on the Vertigo / DC Comics comic book series, Hellblazer.

Known Issues

Dumpster can't be climbed

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: Very early in the game a dumpster that must be climbed upon to continue the story cannot be climbed.
  • Workaround: Go to Config > Emulation Settings > EE/IOP, and set Round Mode to "Positive". The level must be restarted after applying the setting for this to work from every edge of the dumpster. If the setting is applied without restarting the level then the dumpster can only be climbed from its right side. (Automatic gamefix add from v1.5.0-dev-2978-ga9c1a1c76 )

Draw Distance

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: The draw distance is bugged in both normal world and hell.
  • Workaround: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" and set Blending Unit Accuracy to at least "Medium". It is recommended to use lastest git revision.
