What starts off a fun runner, Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield quickly devolves into a bland and repetitive experience. Whilst the colours are bright and the music loud, the lack of replayability or extra modes doesn’t leave it a leg to stand on.

Although Never Yield is a fun auto-runner with a great soundtrack and a valuable message (it gracefully brings up the subject of racism without being pushy), it feels like a short experiment rather than a full-fledged game. [07/2021, p.61]

Aerial_Knight's Never Yield proposes an interesting interception of concepts between a sidescroller and an endless runner, and it works great. With its demanding but fair gameplay mechanics and a surprisingly elaborate plot for a short indie title, the game also boasts a good use of the camera and an exquisite soundtrack. The only things that could make Aerial_Knight's Never Yield much better would be a multiplayer and online component, as well as a longer lifespan.

En: This is a good game but this is not very deep in the idea there are goods musics a good Directionnal artist good characther design we don't have text but we understand the scenario i don't already saw a game with control like this the stick back is not very natural but we rapidly have a reflex but the graphism is good- (for me this is not a problem) but the hitbox is strange sometimes i touch and the game continu sometimes i don't touch and i die this is a shortly game goos but without more FR : c'est un jeu que j'ai plutôt bien aimé on à de bon contrôle une bonne direction artistique de bon look pour les personnages de bonnes musiques mais les hits box sont difficile à comprendre des fois je touche mais le jeu dit que je n'ai pas touché et inversement la fonctionnalité de ralentir le temps fait quelque choses que je n'ai pas trop vue certains obstacles sont difficiles à comprendre les premières fois mais ça passe bon mais sans plus

Die Musik in diesen Spiel ist das beste vom Spiel das Gameplay ist eher was für Reflex Fans aber trotzdem gut und einfach zu verstehen Ein Spiel für jeden der mindestens Eine Hand hat

Juego corto pero desafiante, en especial los 2 últimos niveles.
La música es buena pero la historia es casi nula, te la muestran a través de "cinemáticas" pero además de que están pobremente animadas, no se entiende lo que se supone quiere transmitir.

Never Yield is a slick package. Once I raised the game's difficulty, the fantastic soundtrack, fun world, and engaging gameplay made it an experience I've enjoyed playing through a couple different times. Especially on Switch, it’s a game worth seeking out if you can. While it may have some minor stumbles, I found it a worthwhile run.

This is one of those titles where I'm a bit torn in terms of how I feel about it. Starting with the positive Never Yield absolutely has style to spare from its terrific soundtrack to its colorful visuals to its somewhat weird-but-cinematic story. Putting all of those elements together you're absolutely **** in for a bit as you drink it all in, steadily applying your somewhat limited repertoire of moves to new situations to deal with a variety of threats. However, I also think there's a point where you'll realize that for all of the production value it brings to the table, underneath it all the actual gameplay itself is quite simple. With that in mind, whether you'll enjoy the game will revolve around what you're looking for. If you want to feel a bit like you're playing through a movie of sorts (with the total length being roughly the same) you'll likely dig it a ton, if you're looking for rewarding gameplay you'll likely find it unsatisfying. Credit to the lone wolf developer for making something so polished, but I'd very much recommend getting a taste of what it has to offer from the available demo before making your decision. ****/2021/05/mini-reviews-may-20th-edition-nintendo.html

Aerial_Knight's Never Yield is a visually striking and entertaining 3D runner that, despite being great to enjoy anytime, is monotonous, short, and has little content. A shame, since it had the potential to become one of the most important indie games on Nintendo Switch.

Aerial_Knight's Never Yield is very obviously a passion project that's had a ton of love poured into its super stylish aesthetics and excellent soundtrack, however, it's also one that's rather sorely lacking in the gameplay department. Wally's runs through this futuristic take on Detroit needed more in the way of challenge and variety in order to keep things interesting — more obstacles, more twists and turns and opportunities to show off your skills as you improve and take on higher difficulties. As things stand, this is one slick looking and sounding game that just doesn't manage to provide an incentive to keep playing for very long.

Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield doesn’t do anything to stand out as an auto-runner, an already congested genre. While the soundtrack is incredible and the visuals are stylish, the gameplay lacks any sense of fun, creating an almost mindless experience through its 2-hour runtime. The game’s features almost hinder the experience removing the challenge or tension from the stages. Unless you’re aiming to dominate the leaderboard, this is one auto-runner that is all eye-candy with no substance.

Even free not worth it (dont believe good reviews they are from devs, friends, bots and paid reviewers). - 1:20 hour long. -very very very bland shallow cringe boring runner short game and good music but u feels heard it 1000 times from others. -buy runner 2 instead.
