Extinction Agenda EXGenre: Action, IndieDeveloper:Extend StudioPublisher:ORiGO GAMESRelease Date: 3 Oct, 2014 A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda EX License ares extinction agenda ex. ares extinction agenda ex I can't reccomend this game. It just has too many annoying little pieces of bad game design. Stuff like puzzlws that were obviously designed with only one of the characters in mind, parts where the forground images block your view of enemies, jumps where it's way too hard to avoid hitting the platform hanging slightly above your head. It's not all bad, but I found myself getting annoyed instead of just having fun.. huge improvement comparing to the first Ares version!Grenades and repair ,now are abilities that spent resources and have cooldown.Love the drone that gathers the resources for you so you dont have to worrye about income but you have to buy the first version to have this.To upgrade your moves and abilities you have to find the chips first but until the last boss you will have find enough of them. to get them all you must replay the game, and it is more enjoyable with the unlocked abilities!I enjoyed Ares Ex alot! solid platformer \/shoote!!!If you see it on sale , buy it without hesitation and dont bother for the 1st version,.!. This game was released nearly 3 years ago at the time of my writing this and I wish they had a sequel out at this point. A.R.E.S EX is an amazing game and definatly worth it. I got the game on sale for a grand £1.60 instead of it's base £6.99. This game is a remake of the A.R.E.S Extinction Agenda and isn't just that, they added in a new character with their own story and ending, along with 2 new levels not seen in the origional AEA. Tarus, the new character added, uses the same base weapons as Ares, yet he is, in my eyes, more of a beef-y character, with his first gun you start the game with working as Ares' once you upgrade it once. His design is significantly different to Ares aswell, showning the plit between the two. This game is a 2.5d platforming shooter in the vein of Mega Man and Metroid from back in the 8-bit era. This game is so much more of a tribute to Mega Man than Mighty No. 9, with more challenging game design and bosses. It doesn however work in a linear story, with upgrades seen through the game and backtracking allowed to unlock everything you miss while going through the game.. "It's kind of like a Mega Man crossed with a run-and-gun game. Not that long and not that hard even on the hardest difficulty unless you're trying for optional things like high ranks, but if it's cheap and the short blurb sounds interesting to you, you'll likely find this an enjoyable game."That's what I said about the original A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda. That pretty much holds true for EX, but it seemed somewhat more difficult (or I was just being bad at it) and has been reworked to be a good bit longer, with two extra levels, more cutscenes, and a second character with different abilities who you can choose to play through the game with instead. So, basically it fixed all of my complaints.Given that they're the same original asking price, I would obviously recommend picking this one up instead if you don't have either. About all this game is missing is the goofy skins and the Berserker weapon, and skins are just cosmetics and the Berserker weapon was kind of overpowered anyway! If you do have the original, I think it's still worth it given the discount...!. More or less megaman, but it's a good game with some interesting weapons and upgrades and 2 differnt heros that have differnt weapons and playstyles.. More or less megaman, but it's a good game with some interesting weapons and upgrades and 2 differnt heros that have differnt weapons and playstyles.. agree .. better than Mighty no 9. got it during Mighty Sale. I decided to not recommend this version of the game because of its additional contributions to the original. A.R.E.S. was already a decent sidescrolling platformer. This is simply an upgrade in graphics. minor adjustments to game mechanics, and the inclusion of more story (which is told through cutscenes). Besides those changes, the game is exactly the same as the original and does not merit the price that it was given at launch and still does not merit. I would only buy this game on sale, even if you do not own it.. I picked up this game at a considerable discount, thanks to the developer's decision to "celebrate" the release of Mighty No. 9. I played the original version of this game some years ago, but didn't get around to playing this version until today.At the end of my run as ARES, I was ready to give Extinction Agenda EX a thumbs down, and maybe I still should: It's one of the jankiest run-and-gun games I have ever played. Asthetically, it's fine: The music is excellent and the sprite work fairly appealing. Aiming and shooting is just fine thanks to the mouse, but the jumping controls are uniquely unresponsive and occasionally just fail to work at all. ARES' air dash move is especially difficult to use properly. I must have wasted an hour of the two hours it took to finish the game just falling into pits. It's also rather difficult to avoid damage, and if not for the in-built repair ability, I probably would not have gotten anywhere. I imagine I had a similar experience playing the first version of this game, but that was back in 2011 so I don't remember for sure. Nostalgia makes every game seem better I guess, because I gave that game a positive review just yesterday. But playing it again was not nearly as fun.Then, I played Tarus, the new playable character to this version of the game. And let me tell you, playing Tarus is like playing a different game entirely, and a better one at that. ARES' unwieldy air-dash is replaced with a much simpler to use mid-air hover move, which allows you to fly around for a short duration. At least once jump segment that gave me no end of trouble with ARES can be bypassed using Tarus entirely: Though Tarus' cutscenes differ from ARES, the levels do not. His "limit break"-type move, instead of a smart bomb like ARES, is a invulnerability shield. His weapons, while shorter-ranged and slower then ARES', do considerably more damage. All this meant that my run as Tarus took about half the time, give or take a few minutes. I've never seen a disparity between two characters in the same game this huge before. If you get this game, get it on sale like I did, and don't even bother playing as ARES- Tarus is your bot.
