It can be fun, but it’s still a gacha game. It’s designed to be as annoying and unhelpful as possible to get you to pay for more pulls so you can upgrade your characters. The game does a horrible job of explaining mechanics. You need to have 20 guides open telling you exactly what to […]

I’m completely new to Umamusume. Ever since the game was released globally, I can’t stop seeing this game get advertised or be played by people. Came to check out what the hype is all about. Game’s fun, characters as well as the stories are very appealing, the localisation is really well done. I guess my […]
Would be a nice game if it worked. It spends a lot more time reconnecting than everything else combined (on a connection that’s not great but good enough for lots of other games). About 90% of common English words are considered “invalid characters” by the club chat function. And if another app pops up a […]
Love the characters…but that’s about it. Getting enough resources for a summon or to raise potential is a struggle. An honest explanation as to which stat does what is HIGHLY needed, as you’re only told a sliver of info when you severely lose a race in career mode. The devs do their job well (bug […]
I love the game a lot, but my only problem is the rng for the support cards and getting new uma’s because usually I get something bad I understand it’s supposed to be like that but I tried almost 8 different times and only got 1 SSR for the whole time I tried it, that’s […]
It’s really fun, but also frustrating. I want to love it but constantly replaying the same careers to experiment with the optimal skill cards and legacies gets old and boring. It feels very unrewarding and almost pay to win if you don’t have optimal skill cards for your uma. At some point you just get […]
The game as a whole is fun and the characters and stories make it worth playing in your down time. However the cost for pulls is very high and the amount of free currency you get is limited and locked behind the PvP aspect meaning like any other gatcha game you’re gonna have to shell […]
Initially a fun and charming game with high production values, but can get too repetitive due to lack of long-term content and missions requiring you to do same task for hours daily. Also the cash-shop is much too expensive for what it offers and current accelerated schedule makes pulling feel not worth it as you […]
My favorite mobile game in years! The characters are complex and well-realized, the art style is appealing, and it’s challenging but fun. My only two complaints are 1. the connection issues, this has been a problem since launch, and 2. the hints lie and need to be reworked. The hints suggest a jack-of-all-trades for your […]
Characters and overall atmosphere are great. Very fun in small doses. The problem is that absolutely everything is heavily luck based. The sheer amount of randomness is infuriating. You will get completely screwed over by the random number generator, and constantly fail through no fault of your own, a majority of the time. Success doesn’t […]
Most important, the gameplay is fun, races are hype. A big downside is it teaches you almost nothing (tutorial saying “use auto select until you understand” isn’t helpful). Unforgiving RNG gameplay sometimes. HEAVILY rewards p2w which wouldn’t be a big deal, but the accelerated releases make it simultaneously punishing to f2p. Like a character? Well […]
The most fun I have had with a mobile game in a long time. It looks great, and is fun and adorable. it is a gacha game, so people will always complain. I find the game to be really generous. It gives you a lot of currency at first. I was able to pull the […]
I love raising sims and the writing etc. in this game is very enjoyable, I like it a lot, but I have to say: the game has an information flow problem. From Club and Friend Points, to figuring out why skills don’t activate, to understanding what one 1 of the 5 core stats does, there […]
This is a fantastic game when you DON’T actually have to play it. The visuals, music, and stories are really good for a mobile game, but the RNG aspects can be incredibly horrendous. Everything you do like running races and training is dictated by the proverbial pull of a slot machine lever; all you change […]
I’ve actually had fun playing this. The global version is fun as you’re actually playing from the start. I understand the JP version has a lot more but that’s because it’s been out for 5 years while Global is still new. I like playing games from the start. Yes it is a gacha game and […]
As much as I love playing this game, the cost for new characters is astronomical and the resulting lack of variety limits replayability. It’s all fine and well to earn the currency, but when it takes a couple weeks or more at a time to earn enough for one ten pack roll, it makes for […]
It’s a fun game with a lot of content and they recently upped the rewards. There’s a learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it’s fun to build different horses. If you like horses, gachas and girls, this is the game for you lol. The Japan release came out before the global […]
As a fan of the Umamusume franchise, I’m OBSESSED with this localization. The dialogue reflects each character’s quirks PERFECTLY! Haven’t had any trouble running it on my Samsung Z Flip 5. Any complaints about the “lack of choices” are just… weird. They misunderstand what Umamusume is a game is. This isn’t about the trainer’s story. […]
It’s really good and the mechanics work well and its easy to see that a lot of time and effort was put into making it a good game. Only problem is that it lacks some useful infomation about careers like what some stats actually do. Same about what stats could be useful for a certain […]
It’s a good, fun training simulator game. It suffers from one extremely heavy issue, that being the RNG. You can bring all the support cards in the world, but you can’t force the effects to show up. Your Umamusume can be an actual moron one race, then actually use the 300 wit and go AROUND […]
