From io9.com’s article Ku Mighty could be the next Magic the Gathering
Ku-Mighty is based on hand-to-hand combat between anthropomorphic warriors, each based on the culture, folklore and customs of a certain part of the world. The warriors will also use distinctive fighting styles. Ultimate Gaming Hideout, the game’s developer, described it as, “an epic tale of good versus evil becoming the common thread that weaves its way throughout the world and across centuries into the fabric of human history and mythology punctuated by secret societies, fighting arts, ancient visitors and science fiction.”
The name Ku-Mighty is a play on the Japanese word kumite, which basically means “karate sparring.” According to UGH’s press info, kumite is, “a legendary secretive single elimination fighting tournament in Japan that the most elite fighters from all over the world receive an invitation to attend to decide the most elite martial artists in the world,” which is totally true if you live in a world where Jean-Claude Van Damme movies depict factual, historical events.
