A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda

The robot, Ares, was built to withstand a hostile infection that has turned the station's other machines into enemies, and his mission is to save the surviving crew. Players run, jump and shoot their way through linear stages, taking on robotic enemies and colossal bosses with distinct attack patterns. A recycling system underpins progression: destroyed enemies drop parts that can be broken down and rebuilt into health packs, ammunition and weapon upgrades. This crafting loop lets players build up new gear and firepower as they push deeper into the station rather than finding upgrades pre-made in the world. The design draws on classic run-and-gun platformers, pairing tight platforming with steady combat pressure across a set of story-driven stages. The game bills itself as the first chapter in a planned episodic series and plays as a complete stand-alone campaign.
