What is Alien Arena?

Alien Arena is a free arena first-person shooter from COR Entertainment that mixes classic deathmatch with a retro alien theme. Grab weapons, armor and powerups and frag your way through colorful sci-fi arenas, from small duel maps to massive ones. It comes with 23 official levels, 10 player characters and 10 weapons, each with two firing modes, and dozens of mutators to change how a match plays.

Old-School Frag Fest.

Fast deathmatch with no reloads, and every weapon has a second fire mode.

Team Play Too.

Capture the Flag and Tactical for teams, or settle it in a 1v1 duel.

Why rent a server?

What is Alien Arena Server Hosting?

A match hosted from a player's game ends when that player quits. An Alien Arena server of your own stays online without a PC left on at home, so your clan can frag any time. With Physgun the server installs itself, and you set the name, password, player limit, game mode, starting map, map rotation, mutators and frag and time limits in the panel, with full file access over SFTP and SSH for your server config.

Always Online.

Your arena stays up when you log off, so friends can join any time.

Admin From In Game.

Set a remote admin password and run server commands without leaving the match.
