    For an indie title, ARES is really impressive. For a full on downloadable title, this is impressive. ARES does so many things right, it's hard not to want more.

    With its rockin' techno beats, ARES takes me back to the days of the classic NES Mega Man games. [June 2011, p.77]

    I liked A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda, and if you're into old-school action-platformers or Mega Man X-like titles, you probably will too.

    A surprisingly well-made platformer, albeit simple and extremely short.

    If the team can perhaps fix a few niggling issues via an update A.R.E.S. will be well worth a look, but until then this is a case of try before you buy.

    Solid gameplay marred by clunky controls and an almost painfully generic story. [Apr 2011, p.68]

    Extremely boring and anti-climatic. Has been ported from consoles to PC which result on a confusing UI for those playing only PC games.
    Expend    ed one hour with it and I feel like I wasted my time.… Full Review »

    Simple Megaman clone with Dreamcast graphics. Everything is pretty average except the length. With only 5 stages there isn't much variety but the replay value comes from trying to get max rating on each map. It's decent but nothing really memorable.… Full Review »

    A.R.E.S. es el hijo super futurista de Contra y Mega Man, que sin embargo dista mucho de ser como ellos. El título es visualmente agradable y su jugabilidad es muy simple, pero es muy fácil de completar y es bastante corto, sin contar que la "historia" deja mucho que desear.… Full Review »
