89/100

Kairosoft has done it again with Home Run High, delivering a management sim that is as deep as it is adorable. Managing a high school baseball team sounds simple, but the level of granular control is staggering. You aren't just calling plays; you’re designing training regimens, deciding on school facility upgrades, and even worrying about your players' academic performance. It’s a holistic simulation of being a coach and an administrator.

The signature Kairosoft pixel art and humor are present in spades, making even the menu-heavy management feel lively and personal. There’s a genuine sense of pride when a player you’ve trained from a freshman becomes a star hitter in the championships. The pacing is excellent, with a constant stream of new unlocks and milestones to keep you engaged for dozens of hours. It’s easily one of the best sports management games on the App Store.

Tips & Walkthrough

Building Your Campus

Don't just focus on the baseball field. Building facilities like libraries and cafeterias helps improve your players' stats and happiness. Placing facilities close to each other can trigger 'combos' that provide even greater bonuses to your team's development.

Gameplays

Balancing Academics and Sports

If a player's grades drop too low, they won't be able to participate in matches. Use 'Study' commands during the off-season or before big exams to ensure your star pitcher doesn't get sidelined by a math test.

Q&A

No, it is a management simulation. While you can influence tactics during games, the focus is on training, building, and team strategy.

I have been a longstanding fan of Kairosoft. I've played everything since dungeon village. I have been saying forever that if Kairo put out a baseball game my loved ones would never see me again. HRH has all the trappings of previous games easy to pick up hard to master for the high score. There are new tweaks on the formula to keep things fresh. 3 year players, use of cheer points, mixing sport and education, scaling difficulty is newer for a Kairosoft game which keeps it very exciting. It is a more intense resource management game, knowledge, barbells, fun, and cheer. There's a lot going on. I love management games so this is right up my ally. But, they have kept the same dense and non sensical menus, it's a tap fest, with no real way to easily compare players so I was forced to remember various numbers from batting to pitch speed to fielding strength all in different sub menus. Energy, year, name, all work off a toggle and seem to matter the least, but are the easiest to go through. It definitely slows the game down but the depth, competition and strategy make this one of my favorite games from Kairo. Maybe not a jumping off point but a buy for experienced Kairo players.

Great as always

Kairosoft is hands down my favorite game company. And their sports games are also my favorite. I loved Pocket League Story and HRH is in my opinion even better. It is very immersive and the gameplay is splendid. I'm writing this review because I just won the summer series and it really feels like a big accomplishment in this game. I hope Kairosoft will release a basketball sim game - I can already tell it would be my favorite game of all time!

Really Good!!!!!

This is really fun, just like every other Kairosoft game, which I have downloaded. If I could change one thing, I would update it so you could change names, just like in Dream House Days and High Sea Sega. It would also be amazing if you could change names and outfits in Pocket Academy, but since I downloaded it through ICloud since I originally got it on my IPod for some reason I cannot leave a review. Definitely worth every cent.

Great game

It’s fun what I like to see from kirosoft but would love to see them branch out to other fields for their sports other than tennis, football(soccer), and baseball, I know it’s more American to want but basketball and American football is a sport they shouldn’t over look would make some great games and with the things I’ve seen from this company I know it’s a possibility given the right mix of genres ie school and basketball or football 🏈

Great game

I love this game but would like to see it in a professional format where your players don’t leave after they graduate. However, spoiler alert, they have a chance of coming back as a freshman. However it is random when they will come back so it’s hard to have your best 9 players all back at once. Besides that this game is great!

Really good game. Suggestion

This game is really really good, Kairosoft. I like the highschool sort premise and the customization options like others. A game just like this, highschool athletics but Track and Field instead would be such a great game. I would definitely purchase it. Please do :)

Disappointed

The game is interesting but the mechanics behind it really slow the gameplay to a crawl. Training each individual player in this is more a chore than actual fun. Watching your team lose almost each starter game because they have the worst stats is not fun and even when they level up, the improvement to players is very small. I'm glad this doesn't have a free to play model like other Kairosoft titles but it makes you feel as if your in for the slow grind of F2P.

I like it !

Personally, I feel like this Kariosoft game has more depth than others. It feels like Pocket League but with a lot of new features added in(good ones).This game also allows a choice of difficulty, which is really new to the Kariosoft games and I personally like that option.
