GameSpot: "A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda EX is a generally satisfying homage to a beloved action franchise."
Hardcore Gamer: ARES is an incredible Mega Man/Metroid hybrid, and its development team is returning with something a bit different. So Many Me is a puzzle-platformer starring Filo and his clones. These little green balls take part in an adventure inspired by The Lost Vikings, with a bit of Lemmings thrown in.
Hardcore Gamer: Steam's week-long game sales can be a great way to catch up on games you might've missed out on over the past few years. The sale's biggest releases include ARES: Extinction Agenda for $2.50 instead of $10, or you can get the Complete Edition for 50 cents more and get an OST and some bonus suits.
Timing can be everything, and with Mighty No. 9 getting funded far beyond Keiji Inafune’s wildest dreams, it shows that there’s still a strong market for Mega Man-style gameplay. ARES gave PC fans a taste of that style a couple of years ago, but gave it a twin stick shooter mechanic that allowed for more accurate aiming.
