A.R.E.S Extinction Agenda EX, a 2.5D metroidvania style game, has just been released on Steam. The player is tasked with rescuing the inhabitants of an out of control space station. Using robots to fight the good fight you can take control of the nimble Ares, or the tough, Tarus.
GP writer Marcus Estrada reviews A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda EX on Xbox 360.
A.R.E.S has the rhythm but not the music. It’s like a great backup dancer that is obviously still trying to remember the next step in their head.
A.R.E.S. is a guns-a-blazin’ (yet brief) thrill ride of a sci-fi side scroller that draws much inspiration from the “Mega Man X” series, with even a touch of “Metal Slug” thrown in there. Players take control of Ares or Tarus to battle deadly robots with a variety of powerful weapons and armor. Your one and only mission — to save the survivors of Minos Space Station and find out what Zytron’s extinction agenda is all about.
