About This Game

Kidnapped by the tyrannical KRAGGS and transported across the cosmos, Popeye finds himself conscripted into a galactic wrestling tournament designed to identify which worlds are ripe for conquest. Stranded on a barren asteroid at the universe's rim, the sailor must step into the ring against five alien combatants in front of a jeering extraterrestrial audience, with Earth's survival hanging in the balance. Each victory brings him closer to thwarting the KRAGGS' sinister plan, but defeat would leave humanity defenseless against their interstellar invasion.
