Construct Reviews & Product Details

You don't need to know a code language to create stunning games. Sometimes this kind of software is very restricted and doesn't have the tools you are looking for. But Construct is a well-done software and a powerful tool. Continuous improvement and updates. The Construct development team listens to community demands. Powerful plugins platform and sometimes they integrate some of these plugins into the software. And of course, a reduced price, ideal for small game development teams.

The drawing tools have room for improvement. Although it is not the normal way of working. You don't paint sprites on Construct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Construct is easy to use and fast, you can make games without any programming experience, just drag and drop and visual "programming". There are a lot of plugins and a very big community around. You can export games to HTML5. It is also great for professionals when they want to make prototypes of their games. At this time, you can sell or buy your Construct game templates on the official Construct site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you want to integrate ads or any other monetization solutions, you need to know programming, because there are no official or even third-party plugins for it. If you want to export to platforms other than HTML5, you need other software; you cannot export to a native Android app from Construct directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Construct2 is an amazing tool that I use to create games on a daily basis. I fell in love with the tool the first time I used it back in 2013. Since then I have built more than 30 games. I liked the tool so much I started teaching other people how to use it by publishing videos on YouTube and recently I released a course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I have to complain about is the issues with mobile export. It does work but when it involves plugins, things break. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Please note: this review is about Construct 2, and I found some users are reviewing Construct Classic, which are a little similar but very different. Easy to use, no programming needed, but not limited features, make games easily and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I really don't like about Construct 2 is that it only exports as HTML5. If there was similar software but built natively for different platforms, I would use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I don't have to dig into a whole lot of code to get the results that I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've had trouble running the program on slightly underpowered systems, but that should be expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
