Welcome to Tracen Academy!

In Umamusume: Pretty derbyyou will play the role of a coach dedicated to the “code” – the individuals but possess the soul of “horses from other worlds”, with characteristics like horses instead of human ears and have a cute tail, but possessing speed and power far beyond normal people, and it seems they were born to race.

In fact, the “plot” mode of the game is divided into two different parts. On one side is “Story Mode”, where the plot is told in the “visual novel” style, telling the life and the efforts of cute code to win, and one side is “Career Mode”, where you really show your training talent to train girls to become racing people.

In Career Mode, you will play in Roguelite style and fake training. Before each game, you will prepare two “parents” to transmit the index and skills to Ma Nuong, then select 6 cards to support students to train – this is very important and can decide whether our little girl can overcome challenges or not.

Each code will have 5 separate indicators, namely Speed ​​(speed), Stamina (physical), Power (strength), Guts (courage), wit (intelligence), along with the skill set that the coach can arbitrarily choose to use Skill Point to buy, and your mission is from a wet wet code into the school will become a great runner.

The game proceeds in turn, each time you can choose a training method to “practice” for her, or for Ma Nuong to rest for energy restoration, or even take her out to help her mood become more comfortable.

Alternating between each turn will be unexpected and random events, maybe the event directly related to students (thereby showing their personality) or comes from the support cards that the player chooses when starting a “game”. These random events are the factors that help completely different turns and players will have to react to unexpected events that occur in each turn.

In every turn, the player will have to perform races with other code, and the task is often to be in the top 5, top 3 or even championship, if failure, the turn will be stopped immediately. In this race, players will not need to do anything, can only … cheer for her student, and “pray for heavenly Buddha” she has enough index to win or activate her skills at the right time.

Actually, the writer has not played Umamusume: Pretty derby Also do not think that the game may be … addictive, but it is the random factor that makes the game become a “black pit” without bottom if you do not manage the time steadily. Even if you have a deck of “peak”, your parents are superior, just one failure practice can make you eat a combo package “poor mood, decrease index, bad effects” and even lose an important race in the story circuit.

Umamusume: Pretty derby bring huge addiction

At the end of a game, Ma Nuong will become “Veteran Umamusume” with indicators and skills called “Spark” that can be used to pass on to a student later. The special thing is that “Spark” is completely random, so if you want a strong girl, you will have to “find” a strong parents to increase the starting index, but if you want a strong parents, you have to “plow” Spark random to hope to drop Spark strong enough, forming an endless and extremely attractive loop.

Of course, the results are also extremely worthy. In Umamusume: Pretty Derby has two main PVP matches: “Team Trial” and “Champion's Meeting”, Team Trial is a somewhat more comfortable and relaxing regime, while “Champions Meeting” is the mode that you are forced to train a top -up code to stand on the podium – and what is more wonderful than seeing her in the top 1?

In the final battle of the first Champions Meeting, Taurus Cup, when entering the last race, the enemy's Agnes Tachyon was leading with a distance of 6 horses, but then Symber Rudolf was speeding up. A little more, a little more … Symboli Rudolf is overcoming! Can she make a story? Just a little more … and Rudolf won! The distance is a neck! Symboli Rudolf from behind brought glorious glory to the writer! An emotion is hard to describe, both proud and happy.

Because of these moments, I motivated to stand on the top, and the writer rated Umamusume: Pretty derby Bring huge addiction.

Extremely high quality of production!

It is worth mentioning that the quality of production Umamusume: Pretty derby It is very high, and the reviewer may be higher than most of the current Gacha games.

Normally when it comes to “Visual Novel”, people will imagine the stiff 2D “Sprite” standing, at most, changing facial expressions to better fit the lines. Still in Umamusume: Pretty derbySprite characters are built 3D shadow with face movement and smooth body movement, and when there are many characters, the model of the characters is rotated appropriately.

To the extent, the surrounding scenes will also change and the blur, close -up, combined with 100% voiceover makes the story Mode experience almost viewing an anime rather than playing a “visual novel” game.

This makes playing “Career Mode” and watching the code very likes eyes, and also makes the experience of the game become much more comfortable and relaxed.

The next highlight is the music, if you do not know, every time you win a race, the girls will be “celebrated” by organizing a … festival with songs like real idols.

It can be said that the songs are clear Umamusume: Pretty derby Relatively good and catchy, with Japanese idol style, and nothing more like to see our favorite Ma Nuong dancing and singing on the bright stage.

Another point that the writer wants to mention is the quality of the races. The races are designed and closely followed like the real -life version, with racing schools with all the ingredients from the corner of the crab, the segment, the slope, downhill, etc. are modeled close to the almost “original copy” from the real -life racetrack, even the commentator commented as a true horse racing commentator.

Experience Story Mode is almost like watching an anime rather than playing a “Visual Novel” game

In the race, the random simulation is also closely followed by the fact, from the “late starting” phase, to the “jamming the road” – when Ma Nuong is blocked on all sides and cannot speed up … combined with the beautiful graphics and the cute of the girls brings a very thrilling experience whenever we observe a race.

At the sprint of each race, hearing the audience cheering, commentators urgently, Biwa Hayahide is leading but the opponent's Gold Ship is speeding and narrowing the gap. 300m … 200m … 100m … Biwa Hayahide won with the distance … a nose! The audience cheered, Biwa waved to the audience … It was true that the feeling was watching a true horse race.

“Blood suction”

Of course a Gacha game must “suck blood” already, but actually it is Umamusume: Pretty derby has brought “blood suction” to a new level.

You imagine that in order to have a card that supports “can be used” as Kitasan Black, you must at least “unlock” limit break 3, meaning … turn this card 4 times. The drop rate of Kitasan Black is 0.75%, and if you turn enough … 200 times, you will be able to choose a Kitasan Black!

That is, if you are unlucky, to have 1 LB3 Kitasan Black you will have to spend … 800 times to shoot, according to the current price, about … $ 1700! Of course, such an unlucky rate is not too high, but actually, the price to buy the card in this game is very high, higher than other games.

Particularly the writer spent about 150 USD, but also relatively lucky, but also can only be called a temporary support deck called “acceptable”, imagining that if you are a “free to play” player, you will probably encounter relatively many obstacles when experiencing the game.

It is not to mention the ruong … also have to “film” anymore, but at least the princess does not require 5 copies to be able to operate smoothly.

Smoking time

As mentioned above, the game revolves around the training of excellent riders, and often means … you must complete a complete game, win Ura Finale to get the highest index.

But there are many natural random obstacles that “grow” from where, like your Mejiro McQueen … dreaming of Gold Ship tied her into the rocket and launched into the space, so the lack of sleep, after being added bad effect “night owl”, the mood dropped, then you have not been able to go to healing, the “night owl” broadcast and the mood and energy more.

Or just before the summer training period – an extremely important time where the training methods increased strongly – then your girl involved the effect of “playing and playing” made her … abandon the whole summer.

So one game is considered to give up …

Even, even if you have completed one turn with the 1200 SS index, you only have … 2% to receive 3 -star Spark, necessary to pass strongly to the next generation. If you receive a intellectual star, that turn is also considered to give up, and you have to do more new plays …

And if you want to race the top champion's meeting, your output must be more careful. You will need S level at the race, one thing that must be … randomly to do, and have the necessary skills from the support cards, one thing … also randomly, maybe that turn you do not produce any skill.

In general, this training is extremely time -consuming, and even more difficult if you do not deposit and use cards like “rags” to play games, so fans will need to think about investing time and money for money for time and money Umamusume: Pretty derby.
