OK K.O.! Let’s Play Heroes is a fighting narrative game based on the 2017 Cartoon Network hit show. You play the young K.O. character and take on Lord Boxman's evil bots to save Lakewood Plaza Turbo. In the hub you explore, talk to characters, take on quests and unlock new areas. But when you take on enemies in combat it's more like a cartoony Street Fighter.
