Do you like old school deathmatch with modern features but none of the frills that have ruined the raw purity of the genre? How about rich, colorful, arcadelike atmospheres? How about...retro Sci Fi? Then you're going to love what Alien Arena has in store for you! This game combines some of the very best aspects of classic deathmatch, and wraps them up with a retro alien theme, while adding tons of original ideas to make the game quite unique. Alien Arena is a furious frag fest with arenas ranging from the small, to the massive. With game modes such as Capture The Flag and Tactical, there are terrific team-based experiences to be had as well as 1v1 duels, free-for-all, and dozens of mutators to alter the game play to your liking. The community is friendly, as well as prolific. Dozens of maps, models, and various accessories have been created by community members to add on to the game experience.
Dm-violator has been remade for the second time in Alien Arena's history. The last revision came in the spring of 2007, with the first revision being released in the summer of 2005. The layout remains the same, with only very minor tweaks of a classic layout, but the atmosphere and detail are vastly improved.
Such a good game deserves more popularity.
The playerbase is pretty stout, as far as being popular on Moddb, well that is another story I'm afraid to say...
