It seems the older free download has been removed from the official site, but you can grab Alien Arena: Warriors Of Mars from their SVN (see their download page). They say it is compatible with the Steam version, but doesn't have all the same features. Not very clear on what's different, hopefully they will sort that out.
Nice to see the game is very much alive, thankfully you can play against bots as there's literally no one playing it right now.
