About
Aerial_Knight’s We Never Yield is a follow-up to Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield. It will feature single-player and local cooperative multiplayer options as players take on the roles of two brothers racing to save a kingdom and make their way back home.
Aerial_Knight’s We Never Yield is a pulse-pounding stylized action game that challenges players to run, jump, and slide over obstacles and attack enemies in an intense two-player local cooperative mode. Players can control both characters simultaneously in single-player mode for an extra challenge! Heart-racing beats guide the heroic brothers through the game’s dangerous and challenging environments as they race through intense episodes with immense boss battles throughout.
