Evaluation
They Always Run launched on October 20, 2021 as a complete 2D action-platformer. Following launch, the developer shipped a series of feature and bug-fix patches through early 2022 — notably a save slots system (October 29, 2021), gameplay adjustments (November 11, 2021), display mode support (February 18, 2022), and Italian/Spanish language support (April 12, 2022). That April 12, 2022 language update was the last official communication specifically about this game. No further patches, updates, or content announcements have been made since then. The only DLC listed is the original soundtrack, which released alongside the game on launch day. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced expansions, and no roadmap for future content. Alawar's news activity since 2022 has been focused entirely on other titles in their catalog (Wall World, Necrosmith 2, Necroking, Technotopia, and Karate Survivor), with no mention of additional They Always Run content. The game launched and was supported through its initial polish period; that support has since concluded.

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.
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!
