The baseball season kicked off in April, and since then we’ve seen several new Android Apps and Games pop up on Google Play. Baseball Hero is the latest baseball game to come our way, and it’s been a surprise hit among our staff over the past several days.
Baseball Hero drops you onto the diamond where you’ll get to bat and pitch as you try to make it from a Rookie to a seasoned Major League Pro. It’s a simple take on America’s pastime, but effective as the way you go about pitching and hitting is super simple and quite a bit of fun. Baseball Hero has you swipe patterns to hit different types of pitches; the same goes for pitching as you’ll basically connect-the-dots to throw a curve ball or slider. There are three different modes of play, and while the graphics may not be jaw-dropping they are easy on the eyes.
Baseball Hero is the first game I’ve played by the folks from Doodle Mobile, but it won’t be the last as I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen so far. It’s not a full-fledged baseball game, but Career Mode and the way the controls are set up make it a game you’re going to want to pick up. Baseball Hero is simple to play, hard to put down, and free to download on Google Play.
