Evaluation
A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda launched on January 19, 2011. The store description explicitly frames the game as "the first chapter in a full featured episodic hardcore action packed side scrolling platformer," indicating an episodic release model was originally intended. However, there has been no developer communication of any kind across the game's entire history on Steam — no update posts, no announcements, no roadmaps, and no development status updates. The only post-launch content that ever shipped was the Berserker DLC on July 22, 2011, and an original soundtrack. Both are released and no further DLC has been listed. Despite the "first chapter" framing in the description, the developer has never followed through with additional episodes or made any public statement about them. With over 15 years of complete silence and no unreleased content on the store, the game has effectively concluded as a standalone release. The completion date reflects the last content that shipped — the Berserker DLC on July 22, 2011.
Evidence

About this game
A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda is the first chapter in a full featured episodic hardcore action packed side scrolling platformer, in the traditions of retro classics, where you play as Ares, a combat robot created for the sole purpose of saving humanity. Can you live up to the task or will you be reduced to nuts and bolts?
You are Ares, the first Zytron immune robot. A symbol of how far human technology has come, you are the most advanced robot in existence; built to run faster, jump higher, and fire quicker. In addition to these core attributes, your design includes a system for converting spare parts and resources into valuable items, armor, and weaponry. You will need to use everything at your disposal in order to reach and rescue the survivors aboard the Zytron infected space station.
