Pan Dimensional Being
Some people would consider this a MegaMan clone. It seems any platformer with a gun is considered a MegaMan clone.
A.R.E.S. stands on its own very well though. With each enemy kill, you can "recycle" parts from the enemy and use them to heal yourself or upgrade your weapons. Of course, they do reference their own closeness to MegaMan by having a walkway before the bosses similar to the famous boss hall in all of the MegaMan games.
The 2.5D graphics are great, the controls are fun, the design is great and the story intrigues me. If you like MegaMan or any other gun driven platformer, definitely pick this up. It is well worth the price point.
