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.
The CRX engine that powers Alien Arena is very scaleable and will run extremely well even on older hardware while still delivering smooth, slick graphics and visual effects.
The game features a dark sinister atmosphere combined with an off-the-wall campiness, and trippy, techno type music. There are currently over 15 maps, loaded with weapons(each having an alternate firing mode) and powerups.
Alien Arena has fast, smooth gameplay, and players can play online against one another or against the bots, which feature multiple skill levels, and will rocket jump, strafe jump, and taunt you mercilessly.

It has begun! A new era for Alien Arena has launched, the culmination of four years of development that resulted in a complete overhaul of the game.
The fast-paced, old-school shooter remains true to it's roots...no loadouts...no forced matchmaking...no in-game purchases to give advantages to other players...no differences in character abilities. It remains a true Arena FPS game. Fast...brutal...viscerally gory, yet appealing. Innovations such as the Minderaser, All Out Assault, and Tactical keep the game pushing the envelope foward and keeping things from getting stale.
The game features a traditional server browser that allows you the freedom to join whatever server you wish, with matchmaking "advice" rather than "restriction". We also allow for a variety of graphical tweaks, settings, and scaleability that make the game far more playable than the typical AAA game in this genre.
If you love fast paced, wild action, and a cool retro sci-fi theme...if you love Arena FPS games...you're going to fall in love with AA: WoM. It has everything that the fans of the genre have been clamoring for over the years, but have been ignored by the AAA titles. Grab a copy today, and get fragging!
Follow the game on Steam, and stay tuned for prize tournament announcements over the coming weeks, all leading up to Winter Dreamhack 2017, where COR Entertainment will be hosting a variety of Alien Arena tournaments!

I have not had so much fun playing an FPS since Unreal Tournament & Quake 2, all those years ago. Have been playing this game for over 1.5 years and haven't looked elsewhere since, it's that good. Mods, keep up the good work and many thanks. Cheers.
Great game. Very fast game play and highly competitive. It has become my favorite game and keeps evolving.
awesome game!
incredible how much this game has evolved, since i started playing, almost 5 years ago!
keep it coming :o)
Wish they would release/post a legacy version. One prior to needing physX, or whatever graphical enhancement made it not play on my old machine anymore. It may not be compatible with the current version, but it was still fun to play on older hardware. If you have problems installing, you may need dev packages (libcurl_dev, and etc.)
All versions of Alien Arena are compatible.
Where can I download the engine?
Via SVN, currently "the engine" is actually the game. You will need the source code however, that you can get from SVN.
Cant launch it on OpenSuse 12.2. Running terminal, shows something related to libcurl4. However, cant lanch even after reinstalling this package.
Post the error in the forums at Red.planetarena.org and someone there will be able to help you.
