Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is a casual game based on a popular manganime franchise in which you train a team of horse girls to compete in exciting races on their quest to become the most popular idols. This is a bishōjo game with spectacular graphics. The graphics are so stellar, in fact, that they look as good as some of the best anime being created today.

The premise of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby (ウ マ 娘 プ リ テ ィ ー ダ ー ビ ー) is pretty strange, to say the least. Basically, the best racehorses in history are reborn as waifus. These horses compete in special equestrian tournaments where the winners are turned into idols. This is the dream shared by the game's many characters, including Special Week, Silence Suzuka, El Condor Pasa, Mejiro McQueen, and many more.

Playing Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is pretty easy, even though it's only available in Japanese. Basically, you form a team of horses obtained with the classic gacha system. To compete in the races, you'll have to train them in several disciplines: strength, endurance, speed, and more. They'll even attend school to get smarter or go on walks around the city to create stronger bonds. All of this unfolds while you navigate narrative scenes where you make choices to improve their characteristics, such as humor in the face of adversity.

Once you've completed the training, it's time to race. You can't control anything during the race, but you can watch and listen as the commentators give a play-by-play in real time. When it's finished, you can talk to your chosen character. Her characteristics will improve with each race, and, before long, you can start competing in more desirable events.

Not only can you train and compete in races in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, you can also play an online mode where you challenge other players from all around the world. With this mode, the characteristics of each team influence the outcome, but no matter what, you can earn rewards as you move up the rankings and compete against the best players in the world.

This is one of most popular games in the world, thanks in large part to its high production value. All the characters have their own voice actors, the animations are fantastic, and the soundtrack is perfect for immersing you further in the game. As if that weren't enough, you can even learn more about each character by watching animated scenes.

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby mixes the equestrian and anime worlds for a special combination that's as fun as it is addictive. This is an idol game sure to keep you glued to your screen. Despite having the usual fan service found in this type of game, it's not as blatant as other games on Android. This game has a practically endless cast of characters collected with a gacha system. There are also special events from time to time that add popular waifus to this transmedia game.
