Taken from the game manual

As previously announced, this entry for the MSX freestyle category is finally here. Accept the challenge to a gory duel against your opponent and try to survive!

This game works only on MSX2 and higher and features MSX-Music sound. On top of that, if you have an OPL4 cartridge you can even hear voice samples during the game.

Please remember that this game participates in this contest just for fun, meaning that the authors decline any prize in case they win one of them.
