I liked the game, but they could put some time into updating the desktop version. The mobile has a bunch of new horse breed while the desktop has the same, what like, 3 or 4 breeds. I like the patterns and what not but more breeds please

I love playing this game when I'm dealing with major depressive episodes. It doesn't take much effort, and it's got very calming music. Plus, horses. 10/10

3.5/5 Rival Stars Horse Racing is an entertaining game with a lot of potential, though lack-luster in many areas. Notes: - The horse graphics/animations are beautiful. Not 'Red Dead Redemption 2' beautiful, but when most horse game competitors have graphics that look like they went through a blender twice, Rival Stars easily surpasses them. I do wish there were a little more diversity in their animation loops. I also wish there were more customization options for your jockey, even though they aren't really an important aspect of the game, it would just be nice. - The story is endearing, although not the most captivating -- after a few levels, I found myself just skipping through the dialogue without reading it, because we don't get to actually see anything happening, we just have to read people talking about something that happened. And that's fine, the story isn't the main attraction for this game, I just wish it were a little more catching to the player. - The horse breeding system is addictive as hell lol. Especially now that they've added cross-breeding, breeding horses is seriously so much fun. I love all the different coat and color types for the horses, too. - Unfortunately, my least favorite part about this game is... the gameplay loop itself. Because boy is it a loop. The first few hours I didn't mind it, but as time went on it got more and more irritating and, simply, boring. It's very mobile-game feeling (which makes sense, as Rival Stars is also a mobile game, and their mobile version arguably gets more love from the devs than this version). You breed a new foal. Train it. Skip through a hundred races with it to level it up. You use it to earn enough cash to breed your next generation of horses, and then the cycle repeats, endlessly. Or rather, until you reach max level, at which point there's not much to do in the game at all. I know that we horse-girlies have very few options to choose from, because for some reason, the gaming world has yet to realize just how easy it would be to capitalize off of horse girls and horse games lmao. So, since our options are limited as is, I would definitely recommend Rival Stars Horse Racing. I don't think it's perfect -- I think it has crazy potential, though I can't say I'm optimistic that much of that potential will actually be met. Despite my negative notes, I have generally enjoyed my time playing this game -- I just can't help but wish for more options, diversity, and freedom in the game. More things to do, more horse breeds, Western riding, things like mini games, the option to directly feed and groom our horses, etc, etc.

I bought this game after playing the mobile version. I enjoy the PC version much more, since there are no micro-transactions or subscriptions. I love the racing, the breeding, the training, and the goal/leveling system. I do wish that there was a way to connect with friends in the game, but that's my only gripe.

I absolutely adore this game for many reasons! 1. It is SUPER realistic 2. Theres not only racing, but cross country, steeplechase and now showjumping beta! 3. You can breed adorable foals and train them to grow up into a racehorse/eventer 4. There are many breeds: tb, arab, sf, qh. 5. There are super realistic and cute coats! 6. You can decorate your character 7. You can train horses 8. You can create your own horses on the desktop version 9. You can buy horses for good prices at the market which is easy to access in one click 10. It is an overall VERY enjoyable game which I highly recommend for equestrians. One thing I will say, there isnt much to do after a while. But I really love this game! :)
