Overall ARES may be a short game, but it’s fun while it lasts and the download size is pretty small (graphics are good though).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One of the best aspects of the game is its soundtrack (which is free to listen to here: http://hyperduck.bandcamp.com/album/a-r-e-s-extinction-agenda ) Electric guitar combines with industrial synth to amplify the already intense environment.
