Exophase: "Though it definitely benefits from modern tech -- I mean, look at all those glorious pixels! -- Aeon Drive reminds me of something could’ve been released on the Sega Genesis in the ‘90s. I’ll say this much: If it would’ve launched around the same time as Strider, it would’ve given that classic title some competition!"
Ryan writes: "Once you get used to the feel of the controls though, Aeon Drive is a fast-paced platformer that is sure to offer you a decent challenge. Especially if you take the time to grab all of the collectibles."
"There were many awe-inspiring indie games in 2021 and we've collected the very best indies within 11 unique categories." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
VGChartz's Daniel Parker: "For everything Aeon Drive does right, it gets something else wrong. It certainly has its fun, high-speed moments - when the level design permits - but the story is full of holes and in an age when there are dozens of other 2D platformers that do more and better, it's hard to recommend Jack's adventure."
