Plot

Major Greg D. Callahan of the United States Marine Corps gets shot through a black hole and ends up in an alien world where he must fight in gladiator-style fights in an arena, and helping a character named Princess Lydia.

Gameplay

Players play through three strategy campaigns without the complication of resource-gathering and city-building. The arena announcer gives the player goals which they must complete to succeed.

Critical reception

Gamezone said the game would appeal to lovers of the Heavy Metal comic.[1] IGN praised the game for offering mind-numbing fast-paced enjoyment.[2][3] Andy Eddy of GameSpy said the game had a promising concept that fell apart in its execution.[4] Bob Colayco of GameSpot wrote that the gaming experience was soured by issues regarding its difficulty, interface bugs, and save-game problems.[5]

gollark: I guess the cryptic mechanisms of YouTube are able to convince humans to do this.
gollark: This seems like the product of deranged AI, but of course video lags images by quite a lot so it isn't there yet.
gollark: It seems vaguely plausible that if you take large amounts and the biological half life is fairly long, it'll still be around in sleep-inducing amounts for a while, but biology is weird and complex.
gollark: I don't really know. You will have to check.
