gunsage A.R.E.S. – Extinction Agenda
A.R.E.S., in my opinion, is best described as Metroid, but feels more like Contra, and has RPG elements. Basically you’re a robot for mankind fighting evil robots against mankind. Yeah, the story gets a little more complicated than that, but really that’s all you need to know. It does feel a little awkward not playing with a joystick, but I can’t seem to get mine to work correctly with it for some reason.
All the same, it plays exactly like what a modern run n gun shooter should with the ability to fire in any direction at any given time, having multiple weapons and weapon types available, implementing all kinds of special moves, and with several enemy and boss types. It’s very fun, challenging, and has lots of great visuals and sound design overall.
The best part, I feel, is the price. You get all that for only $10. Pics follow.

…Metroid? , Contra? has RPG elements? Well 2/3 aint bad.
But seriously, this looks pretty good for under 10 bucks.
Well to be fair, the RPG elements are just in the form of upgrades a la finding parts and stuff and upgrading your equipment, so really…not very RPG-ish, just kinda. I would definitely recommend checking it out.
