Begun by COR Entertainment in 2004, the game combines a 1950s-era <a href="Sci-fi" class="mw-redirect" title="Sci-fi">sci-fi</a> atmosphere with gameplay similar to the <i><a href="Quake_(video_game)" title="Quake (video game)">Quake</a></i>, <i><a href="Doom_(series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doom (series)">Doom</a></i>, and <i><a href="Unreal_Tournament" title="Unreal Tournament">Unreal Tournament</a></i> series. <i>Alien Arena</i> focuses mainly on <a href="Online_game" title="Online game">online</a> <a href="Multiplayer_video_game" title="Multiplayer video game">multiplayer</a> action, although it does contain single-player matches against <a href="Computer_game_bot" class="mw-redirect" title="Computer game bot">bots</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gameplay">Gameplay</h2></div>
<p>The game features an internal server browser for finding other players online, and the external <i>Galaxy</i> program performs the same function without having to launch the game, akin to <a href="The_All-Seeing_Eye" title="The All-Seeing Eye">The All-Seeing Eye</a>. It also serves as an <a href="Internet_Relay_Chat" class="mw-redirect" title="Internet Relay Chat">IRC</a> <a href="Client_(computing)" title="Client (computing)">client</a> for chat between players. The game uses modified <i>Quake II</i> physics. Most <i>Quake II</i> <a href="Trickjump" class="mw-redirect" title="Trickjump">trickjumps</a>, such as <a href="Strafejumping" class="mw-redirect" title="Strafejumping">strafejumping</a>, will work in <i>Alien Arena</i>. However, dodging, which isn't found in <i>Quake II</i>, has also been added to the game.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2></div>
<p>Although it had been in development since 2003, <i>Alien Arena</i> was first released as a <a href="Software_release_life_cycle#Beta" title="Software release life cycle">beta</a> in August 2004, with the title <i>CodeRED: Alien Arena</i>. The first stable version was released in October. Two <a href="Single-player" class="mw-redirect" title="Single-player">single-player</a>, <a href="Campaign_(role-playing_games)" class="mw-redirect" title="Campaign (role-playing games)">campaign</a>-style games, <i>CodeRED: Battle for Earth</i> and <i>CodeRED: Martian Chronicles</i>, were released during 2003. Following these games, <i>Alien Arena</i> received greater development focus. The final upgrade to the two single-player games was made available on February 18, 2005. The "CodeRED" title continued to be used until <i>Alien Arena 2006</i> was released in November 2005, promoted as a "sequel" to the old CodeRED version.
</p><p>In September 2012, <i>Alien Arena</i> was also made available as an online version through Roozz. By installing a small plugin, players can play the game in any browser on the Windows operating system.
