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!

Funny, i just bought new slick PC (desktop which i can for now on upgrade) and decided to try for teh lulz how well it would run centrain games, my most demanding commercial game being RS Vegas 2 (old, console port) and running flawlessly.
So, i downloaded AA 7.53 and Nexuiz 2.5.2
In nexuiz i score pretty stable 100 FPS (arranging from 60 to 231) but in AA i could score 60 at MAX :D (arranging 47-60)
I dont know is it the AI improvements or what but it was surprising result :D
I hope that future updates wont have great performance drops ;)
with GTX 560Ti
I think console popping up is completely normal but for me it has always changed resolution, my current setup with 1920 X 1080 and old (using GF 8600m GS) with 1440 X 900 both worked.
Are you sure you typed proper resolution to custom fields or does console tell .you something ?
Did you change the max_fps settings? AA is capped at 60 fps. cl_maxfps is the cvar you would need to set. Just type cl_maxfps 500 in the console. Also make sure vsync is disabled if you want it to go over the monitor refresh rate(usually 60 fps). (But, the game runs best when capped at 60 fps). Nexuiz also has far less detailed environments than AA, so it's not a totally fair comparison.
yup, got 47-241 fps
just tried out of curiosity, both stand out differently in graphical department.
but i prefer AA Aesthetics more.
so glad i can finaly play both of them without problems ^^
everytime i try and change my resolution to 1440x900 it goes to a console command and just sits there. if i hit esc it just goes back to the settings and doesnt change my res. any help? thanks! :)
A have installed this, but there are no sound in game(((
Make sure you install OpenAL, otherwise the sound will not work.
Thanks, it helped)
