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.

Sorry, we are going to push the release back a few days. It is true though, that on this site the linux version has been mirrored, and that is the actual game so Moddb folks who follow AA, you get an early treat :) The file hasn't been announced or linked outside of here as of yet. Windows and Mac versions should be ready by middle of next week, and then the actual release announcement will take place.

Not so sad. This is a monumental release for this game which has received an enormous amount of work since the last version. Delaying the release a couple of days makes alot of sense given that Nexuiz and Warsow both released on the same day. We have alot of confidence in this version, and feel it could be the beginning of something very, very big in freeware gaming. I could post the details of what we have lined up, but I'd rather just let people find out as it happens. The people that love the game will be very pleased, and the people who love to hate the game(I'm pretty sure that you are one of those, correct?) are going to have to pick their jaws up from the floor.
