"A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda was first released for the PC back in 2010 and being a side-scrolling platformer it isn’t surprising that it is finally making its way onto Xbox Live Arcade. What is surprising however, is that the game has received a pretty good overhaul with brand new additions. Does A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda Ex give an even better experience than the original PC with all of this new content? Let’s take a look at how it stands up."
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.
