Umamusume: Pretty Derby combines sports simulation, training mechanics, and idol elements in a unique package. Players take on the role of a trainer at the Japan Horse Girls Training Center Academy, guiding their chosen Umamusume (Horse Girls) through training regimens and competitive races with the goal of achieving victory in the prestigious “Twinkle Series.”
The game features over 20 unique Umamusume characters, each with their own personalities and stories inspired by legendary racehorses. Notable characters include Special Week (voiced by Azumi Waki), Silence Suzuka (Marika Kono), Tokai Teio (Machico), and many others. Players develop bonds with their Umamusume through training and communication to help them reach their full potential.

Races feature up to 18 competitors with live commentary, and victorious Umamusume perform special winning concerts after races. The game showcases high-quality 3D graphics for both racing sequences and performance scenes.
