The value story

The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in November 2024. It has been discounted 27 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 90 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 37 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 76 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Super Mega Baseball 3 ($44.99, scores 63) and Barro 2020 ($4.99, scores 42) both outscore it.

Of the 559 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 11 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 117 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

At 12 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

Insane how much depth is in this silly looking arcade sports game but it's genuinely great. My only wish is that Franchise mode was a little deeper in that you could sign multi-year deals or trade players but that's not the direction they wanted to go and it makes the offseason different compared to most other sports titles. Absolutely worth it if you can get it on sale.

This game is GOATED. I got this game for under 5$ on sale and its incredible. Its a mix of Arcade/Simulation. The pitching mechanics in this game are the best I've ever seen in a baseball game. The hitting feels immaculate. Playing this with friends never gets old. I couldn't recommend this game anymore

Played exclusively on Steam Deck. SMB4 is a great arcade style baseball game for somebody who wants to avoid the deep menu scrolling of a simulation game and just start hitting the ball. Teams and players are fun and colorful with ridiculous names full of baseball puns. Gameplay is fast and intuitive, but still has the potential for deep strategy and skill. Pros: Fast, accessible gameplay. Lots of customizable game...
