Aerial_Knight's Never Yield

If you love speed-running type games, Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield is a must-play. Who would have guessed that running through forests, on top of buildings, through offices where you are jumping over photocopiers and sliding under desks would be so addictive and so much fun!

Aeiral_Knight's Never Yield is a short, yet stylish endless runner with one of the year's best soundtracks.

Neil Jones has created a terrific showpiece for how to take the classic runner and add in your own special aspects. The gameplay is enjoyable on the harder difficulties and stays just long enough to not wear out its welcome. Speedrunners or Achievement Hunters should rejoice as the game has plenty available for those seeking the perfect run. Perhaps a leaderboard will be added to it in the future ...

This delightful sprint is both beautiful to watch and engrossing to play. Aerial_Knight's Never Yield is a fantastic hour and a half long sprint, that features an outstanding score and plenty of narrative surprises interwoven throughout. Now, if only we had a flow-chart to follow the actual storyline...

On its surface, the gameplay of Aerial_Knight's Never Yield is not all that interesting. You run from left to right, sliding, jumping, and sprinting past obstacles until you reach the end of a level a few minutes later. After a while, it gets a bit bland on the easier difficulties. However, bolstered by a fantastic soundtrack and strong-if-redundant art style, Never Yield is an engaging journey th...

Solo developer 'Aerial_Knight' explodes onto the scene both literally and figuratively. This unique 3D side-scroller places the player as a superhuman youngster thrust into a world of chaos, colour and a killer soundtrack to boot. The game kicks major ass.

Sprint through a futuristic, dystopian Detroit in Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield, an action-packed endless runner from solo developer Aerial_Knight. Pursued by mindless corporate drones and a mysterious athletic antagonist, parkour your way across construction sites, burning cars, and abandoned warehouses to protect your precious cargo.

Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield succeeds at getting you into the action with little complication, even if it has less depth than a kiddie pool. It does a poor job at explaining Wally’s situation (everything I know about the story came from outside the game) and this further prevents the experience from being more than something that feels like a prototype. It has a low price that matches well with its...

Upon booting Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield up for the first time, I was greeted with a small cutscene that felt really cool and stylish, accompanied by some sick instrumental hip hop beats. I thought to myself, “I’m in for a hidden gem”. It didn’t take long for all semblance of hope to vanish and for a massive sentiment of disappointment to kick in. A game with so much potential ended up being a bla...

Aerial_Knight's Never Yield presents a fresh take on the runner genre but is ultimately held back by repetitive gameplay that fails to present any real engaging challenge to players. The game boasts a unique style, equally intriguing narrative, and a head-bopping soundtrack, but ends up falling flat in terms of gameplay.
