Aerial_Knight's Never Yield
SCORE: 80
Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital
download key to Aerial_Knight's Never Yield on the Xbox systems. I
decided to play Aerial_Knight's Never Yield on the Xbox Series X.
Aerial_Knight's Never Yield is a 2D side scrolling level based runner
set in a 3D world. What I mean by that is there is depth the graphics
but we stay on a set path and are always moving forward.
Endless runners bore me personally because there is never an end to
them. Aerial_Knight's Never Yield fixes that problem by formatting into
levels and having them end. That way we feel like we have achieved
something and can change outfits before moving onto the next level.
Aerial_Knight's Never Yield also has boss levels. Those can get intense
with all kinds of objects coming at the player.
The issues families can have with Aerial_Knight's Never Yield are blood,
violence, and more. I actually expected the violent content to be worse
in Aerial_Knight's Never Yield. If you watch our live stream reacts
videos you have already seen Aerial_Knight's Never Yield and our
reactions to it. I don't recall our initial reactions to Aerial_Knight's
Never Yield. I do know that I enjoyed playing Aerial_Knight's Never
Yield.
The bonus levels in Aerial_Knight's Never Yield give families that retro
feel. I was not able to connect to the main character in Aerial_Knight's
Never Yield. I do like how the action slows down on the normal
difficulty so we have time to react to the obstacle coming up. We dash
through walls, jump over obstacles, slide under obstacles, and do a
parkour side flip to go through or between certain objects. Timing those
motions is key to survival in Aerial_Knight's Never Yield.
Aerial_Knight's Never Yield sounds good and it looks okay. Expect plenty
of explosions in Aerial_Knight's Never Yield. Once we die we can yield
or never yield. Aerial_Knight's Never Yield keeps track of how long it
takes to beat a level and how many times we die. It can take an hour and
a half to beat Aerial_Knight's Never Yield on normal mode. Then you can
try tougher difficulties. There are also numerous outfits to unlock.
Aerial_Knight's Never Yield clocks in just under one gig in terms of
size. The continuation points are put in good locations in my opinion.
Aerial_Knight's Never Yield taught me to never assume the patterns will
repeat. I played levels where a series of obstacles were used, and later
on the same series of obstacles started to be used. I got complacent and
expected the series to end the same way. It did not.
There are a lot of neat little touches done in Aerial_Knight's Never
Yield. For example a drone robot will be in the background and come at
us and start to chase us. Other times vehicles chasing us will crash and
go into the background. I hope Aerial_Knight's Never Yield makes it into
the physical copy realm. It would be neat to show this game off in one
of our live stream FFG Haul videos.
