Description

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.

Aiden 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!

Woah! They Always Run is truly an underrated gem! Eye-catching visuals and fascinating story, which starts slowly, but spirals up to a poignant, very powerful ending... Too bad we're not getting a proper sequel any time

7/10 Loved this game! The mechanics and pacing were awesome. There were some glitches here and there, but nothing game-breaking. Also the ENDING was incredibly abrupt and while the story for said ending was cool, HOW it

Trash pretentious action platformer with crazy bad checkpoint system that doesn't refill your health, so you can easily get softlocked from a level when you reach a boss checkpoint and have little health left.

I spent around four hours with this game, but ultimately the controls became so frustrating that I lost any desire to finish it. By that point, I was skipping all story dialogue out of sheer boredom, worsened by the
