Game Guide

This is a fighting game where players compete in a martial arts tournament on the planet Tobal. The ultimate prize for winning is the exclusive right to mine a valuable energy source.
Story
Story
In 2027, an Earth starship discovered the planet of Tobal. This world held large deposits of Molmoran, a rare and powerful energy source.
Earth leaders met with the King of Tobal to negotiate mining rights. However, several other planets also entered the bidding.
The King of Tobal, an avid martial arts fan, decided to hold a tournament every 200 days. The winner would receive the rights to mine the precious matter. It is now 2048, and the 98th tournament is about to begin.
