K.O. Champs is an online game that takes you into the world of boxing management. Choose a fighter and take him to the top, by choosing fights well, promotion and training.
Like many similar online boxing games, K.O. Champs follows a time consuming routine. Any action you want to take, like training is paid for in your time. Training one type of move, in one case the ‘double block body’, means waiting around an hour and a half. If you want to speed things up. you have to purchase credits at the K.O. Champs store for real money!
The only animation in K.O. Champs is during the fights themselves, which are short affairs, with nicely painted boxers who are very simply animated as they execute the punching moves you instructed in preparation. Basically, K.O. Champs is a management game about numbers – carefully build up your stats and manage your boxer well and bit by bit you’ll climb the online ranks.
If you’re a fan of this type of essentially text based online management games, K.O. Champs is quite well done. However, the lack of animation, sound and the constant waiting for hours on end can make it very frustrating for many people!
