Baseball Riot

While Baseball Riot has a simple, quirky, challenging and meaty campaign, there is a real sense of deja vu. The art style and core mechanics are virtually the same as its prequel, and although it is aesthetically vivid and satisfying to beat a difficult stage or line up a perfect shot to obliterate a row of nasty foes, the grind you go through to beat it might deplete that addictive nature that puzzle games such as this strive for. All in all, the game ends up being a solid, but often frustrating and wholly unoriginal experience.

This is a fun little puzzle game that’s easy to pick up and easy to get addicted to.

Baseball Riot is a textbook puzzle game that struggles to add anything to the core ideas, a fun setting and plenty of levels don't really hide that this game is relatively uninspired. It's by no means bad but can be hard to recommend to everyone.

The variety sticks out because of its absence and the difficulty level provides no challenge, which, when added to its casual but very limited technical aspect and the lack of other modes of play, make it into just another game that lends itself to comparison with mobile games.

With over 100 levels, cartoony graphics, a low price tag, simple controls and humour to boot this is worth a few hours of your time but don’t expect too much replayability above restarting the level over and over.
