About They Always Run

About this game

The galaxy's inhabitants have been swamped by crime since the fall of the empire. Being able to find anyone, anywhere has become a highly prized skill.

Aidan is a three-armed bounty hunter who must hunt down the most dangerous and elusive cutthroats in the galaxy.

Some bounties are rewarded with money, others with valuable information that Aidan can use to find the people who set him on this path – all while getting embroiled in a galaxy-wide conspiracy.

Having three arms lets you deal with more enemies at once and makes for a persuasive argument in any scuffle. Use your third arm to perform targeted attacks and throws, manipulate the environment, destroy obstacles, and wreck enemies.

Hunt criminals across the fringes of the galaxy, the core worlds, and the ruins of long-gone civilizations. Upgrade your equipment, gain new abilities, grow stronger and destroy anything that stands in your way.

Enjoy a complex story interwoven with high-octane gameplay and full of twists and turns that hit as hard as a bounty hunter's third arm!

The art style is wonderful and the movement and combat animations are very fluid. Unfortunately, the "third arm" mechanic felt unnecessary and distracting. Most of the time, simply having a "strong attack" button would have been enough and would make the gameplay tighter. The sensor thing, requiring the player to track down and smash a button with the third arm is silly ("oh look, here is a button you can only hit with the third arm"). In the end, this is a weak recommendation for people who like action platformers.

Relatively short, but you will have a fun time.

First of all yes, the graphics are absolutely stunning (for the genre). Both combat and platforming are challenging enough to be, well challening, but not to the point that it would become annoying. The story (which will take you probably below 10 hours) is pulling, although the ending is kinda meh.

Combat good. Parkour good. Plot good.

There can never be enough slick and smooth feeling action platformers I believe. Combat good. Parkour good. Plot good.

This game kicks ass. Its combat feels very unique and in-depth for a side-scrolling platformer. There's a real sense of weight to it, which makes the combat feel super satisfying. The platforming is also fun, though it sometimes felt a bit unresponsive to my inputs. But you learn to get used to it. The visuals and music are also fantastic. Definitely recommend this!
