Alien Arena is a single player and online multi-player first-person shooter, similar to Quake Arena and Unreal Tournament. Its unique appearance is a visual treat of retro-looking aliens and oddly configured weapons. It includes all of the common game modes, such as Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. The game is free for download, and the source code is available under a free software license.
Users can run their own multiplayer servers for matches, and the community has weekly tournaments on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. To top off the fun, users create third-party content, such as maps, models, skins, and mods.
