Umamusume: Pretty Derby Gameplay

Image

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is a unique blend of a racing simulation game with gacha elements, all centered around a captivating world where "horse girls" (Umamusume) inspired by real-life racehorses compete. While the ultimate goal is to win races, the core gameplay loop focuses heavily on the training and development of your chosen Umamusume.

The main gameplay is in "Career Mode," a three-year training cycle where players develop their chosen Umamusume's five key stats—Speed, Stamina, Power, Guts, and Wisdom—through various training activities. The story expands through random and scripted events, often tied to Support Cards, which provide stat boosts and skill acquisition opportunities.

A vital "roguelike" element is the inheritance system, where completed Umamusume pass their genes to enhance future training runs. While races are automated visual spectacles determined by players' Umamusume's stats and pre-race strategies, the depth comes from the extensive preparation and strategic skill acquisition.

Beyond training, completed Umamusume can participate in PvP modes (Champions Meeting/Team Stadium), daily races, and special events, and even perform in the beloved Live Theater idol concerts. This intricate loop of gacha, intensive training, gene inheritance, and competitive play forms the compelling core of Umamusume: Pretty Derby.
