Ah, baseball. The vicious swing of the bat, the crack of wood meeting leather, and the smell of speciously edible hotdogs. Is there anything more American than the baseball diamond? As someone from the UK, I wouldn't know, but I do understand the allure of managing your own team in the major leagues, and Bitball Baseball lets you do just that.
Don't expect high-resolution Unreal Engine textures from this game, though. Bitball Baseball is rendered in a delightfully retro, super low-res style. You'll get a view of the entire field and a horde of pixelated fans as your players compete against rival teams, racing for bases after every swing.
As for features, Bitball Baseball offers virtually everything you'd expect from a fantasy sports simulator. You can trade players, customize your team and lineup, build a world-beating stadium, and cultivate a dedicated fanbase (or perhaps even exploit them with ticket prices). Opt for the premium version to personalize your players' names and appearances, and create your own custom team.
Take me out to the ballgameYes, the baseball simulator is a niche within the more popular football and American football franchises, but there's no denying the universal appeal of this sport. I also appreciate Duckfoot Games for their transparency about what's included in both the free and premium versions of their game (clearly listed on the storefront!)
You can dive into Bitball Baseball when it launches on March 12th, just a few weeks away! Make sure to pre-register on Android or iOS to secure your spot and get ready for your hits.
