A baseball game where the outcome is decided by dice. Even if you don’t know the rules of baseball, anyone can enjoy it easily!
A baseball game where the outcome is determined by a dice
- First, choose the pitch type – Both the pitcher and the batter select their pitch types. ‘What is the batter waiting for?’ ‘What kind of pitch will the pitcher throw?’
- Determine which dice to use – If the pitch types match, a dice advantage for the batter will be used, and if they don’t match, a dice advantage for the pitcher will be used. This changes the probability of getting a hit or getting an out.
- Roll the dice
- The result is revealed.
That’s all there is to it. The game progresses based on the results determined by the dice, making it easy and enjoyable for anyone to play without understanding the rules of baseball.

Prologue
Centered around ‘Area 1,’ a town where abandoned buildings and miscellaneous structures line up, commonly known as ‘Cat Town.’
It consists of five divided areas, each dominated by the strongest person in that area, called ‘King.’Once, the city was a place of constant bloody conflict due to territorial disputes by the kings. However, the situation in the city changed dramatically due to the decree from ‘Area 1,’ the area that reigns supreme over all areas and holds all the authority.
‘It is forbidden to invade other areas. However, during the event ‘KING OF CATS’ held every five years, invasion of other areas is allowed.’
And it stated, ‘Instead of violent conflicts, fighting in a “game” called “KING OF CATS” is to take place.’ This is the story until this city “collapses.”
Play Modes
In addition to Story Mode and Battle Mode, League Mode is also available. In Battle Mode, aside from CPU battles, you can also enjoy playing with friends and family on a single device.”
