Ares Omega

First, make sure you can play this with a mouse and keyboard. Game controllers are unusable in this game (e.g., the aiming reticle disappears if you're not using a mouse, making aiming effectively impossible). That said, if played with a mouse and keyboard, this has the potential to be a fun little top-down shooter. The action is fast-paced, the limit of vision based on physical obstacles makes for a bit of "fog of...

What kind of game is this? Not a gem, not by a long shot, but there are some good things here. The sparse tags may be a little misleading, but this is actually a rogue-lite game. Death is basically your save mechanism. You're expected to die and you'll do it a lot, and that's okay.

I got the game on sale for about 1.00USD$ and I'd say it is worth (or more near) that. 4.99 is too steep for its general quality when compared to games with higher budgets for sale at similar pricepoints. The trailer may make the game look a little more complex and polished than it really is (especially in regards to graphics, they look way worse in the actual game than what appears in the trailer..) but what is...

it would be an acceptable game for ~£1 really no more at all. accuracy is shocking, speed of your character is also shocking feels slow to respond and can feel like youre moving through treacle.
