The 12 star systems are about to go extinct after the galaxy's sun explodes. The Primaries, an omnipotent race of alien beings, has the power to save one civilization from total annihilation. They figure the best way to determine which one that will be is by staging a fighting tournament, where the winners live and the losers perish. Now you must climb into the arena and fight for your own civilization, before it's too late! Choose from the 12 species, ranging from the long-clawed Zygrunt to the club-wielding Rotundo, each with its own special fighting style and moves. As you fight, you'll have to learn how to attack as well as counter and defend, or else you can kiss your entire civilization goodbye! Whether along or against a friend, FIGHTING MASTERS is the ultimate fighting competition, where only the strong survive…literally!
