Alien Arena: Warriors Of Mars reviews and comments

Alien Arena: Warriors Of Mars is a multiplayer arena shooter and definitely a Clone Of glorious Unreal Tournament Games. Very colorful, fast, hard and funny, just like UT we ask for the Bet here. In General, I have fun directly again, the usual Sayings "Killing Spree" etc. provide Nostalgia. The Martian Models are okay, but still seem a bit unfinished, as well as the Level Design, so it could still be significantly ground. Of course, the usual Problems of a paid pure MP Shooter are also present here: Player Shortages. The Market is completely oversaturated. So generally funny Ball fun, with certain Design flaws.

Alien Arena: Warriors Of Mars is a FPS game, reminding of the great DOOM games. You basically incarnate an alien, fighting against others aliens in intense games. Many game modes are available, such as Capture The Flag, Team Deathmatch or even 1v1. Fly all over the map with a mad speed while trying to land your shots on your opponents, to get as many kills as you can!
Graphics/Soundtrack
The game has decent graphics, that could remind you of DOOM's or even Serious Sam's ones. Even though they're not super realistic, they're cool and not disturbing to watch. The soundtrack is OK, not fantastic to me but you may like it. The sounds are fitting the game : retro FPS sounds.
Positive points : Why is it fun?
If fighting in a total madness, with a high speed, or while flying all over the map pleases you, you will for sure have a lot of fun here! All is going very fast, so put your seat belt on, AND HANG ON WELLLLLLLLL! Improve your reflexes and your aim to become the best. Doing many kills in a row is also much fun!
Negative points
This game doesn't have many negative points. The graphics maybe, aren't in a very high definition, but they are retro themed so I guess it's fine. You will feel a bit nostalgic if you've ever played DOOM or Serious Sam!
Lifetime/Worth it?
As all FPS games, it gets repetitive quickly. But always trying to improve your skills will make you feel like getting back to it often. So I'd say it has a great lifetime. Now is it worth it? I'm not sure it is. Some could find it a bit expensive... Just wait for a little discount if you want, I agree that 10 bucks is maybe a bit too high for this game.
Conclusion
Finally, if you like retro FPS games, or if you've loved DOOM, you will love this one too! Everything goes very fast, you have to be really responsive as soon as you see an ennemy, not to let him a chance to kill you! This game is a bit expensive so maybe wait for a discount, and have some great fun!
