<p>The core gameplay revolves around a sophisticated training system where every decision impacts your uma musume's development.

Each training session presents strategic choices that influence not only immediate stat gains but also long-term character growth patterns.

<p>Racing competitions serve as the ultimate test of training effectiveness, featuring fully realized 3D races with dynamic camera work and detailed animations.

<h2>Gacha Mechanics and Support Cards</h2>
<p>Like many anime-style gacha games, Umamusume: Pretty Derby leans heavily into collection-based mechanics. Similar to popular titles like Genshin Impact, players roll the gacha banner to unlock their favorite characters. In this case, those characters are uma musume, each with unique personalities, growth paths, and racing specialties.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1080/822;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/uma_musume_gacha_b23c067a4b.webp" alt="" width="1080" height="822" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAICAIAAABPmPnhAAAACXBIWXMAAAPoAAAD6AG1e1JrAAABA0lEQVR4nAH4AAf/AGtfbVwnKb23vjY8P7u2tXl/gnFpgKOJhSktHiYuMwA6LScgIiR+cWVramOjmnBoVDxJOFKalIZ2epVyX2sA7u7b193HzdHF7+bN5uTX+ejZ3t/L//bV1sen4sW5AIx6Zj0OFXBpYtO7uJWUint0bp6BZrudgZaBZ7WbmwCCZ1eIeouFVFCndnefn5JEPDVqOR/EmYB2cX6JfX0AZmNLKCktnoVZf4NpsJFlo5tyopuD///guby7s5maABkcORkANUw8O19OUZxzcG5JRouTkYOGf5CQjZGTmACel6B9bpTKxbm1rqrNv6iqn5Sosp6nrKK9xceyurozyH5O1qY4JwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="><figcaption>Umamusume: Pretty Derby GACHA</figcaption></figure>
<p>But Umamusume adds a twist to the formula by introducing a second gacha system for Support Cards. These aren’t just passive buffs. Each support card represents another uma musume and plays a critical role in your training sessions. When you build your training deck, the cards you equip determine how effectively your main uma trains in each stat, and they also trigger exclusive events, and skill unlocks just to name a few.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Ever-Expanding IP</h2>
<p>Umamusume: Pretty Derby isn’t just a hit game, it’s a multimedia phenomenon. What started as a character-raising sim has grown into a full-blown franchise with anime adaptations, hit music releases, live concerts, and even official racing collaborations. The anime series has seen multiple seasons, and many fans who discovered the game through the show end up becoming dedicated trainers themselves.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1280/720;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/uma_musume_meta_image_6c2799f369.webp" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAPoAAAD6AG1e1JrAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AHBWcjIrVUlPd4WYn563t4qfp6nDwLL0/53c7liXqwAABgBqkmaJfH9QNEJ6UC94Wli5rsAKBRKXnHf/+sgAi8dnYKs9Rh0bHA8fUjY9KA8SbUIxrm1VAHAAMGUnAJ3lW2C7OaSDgT4ZN4JgZH1gYnBOS5KAdzZnJjeDJQCo52RJwAJthYXIze7rwt1aQW7a5uCbomvou5PKx5oAn/RpMcYAue2jQYs5u4q+i2SdJi0yXH5Uqqt5tr6P1ZlU5/gqvNoAAAAASUVORK5CYII="><figcaption>Umamusume: Pretty Derby content image</figcaption></figure>
<p>But what really sets the IP apart is its unique connection to real-life racehorses. Every uma musume is based on an actual Japanese (and sometimes international) racehorse, including their racing history, temperament, and even some iconic victories or rivalries. Some of these horses are still alive today, living out their retirement on farms across Japan. Because of this link, Umamusume has inspired an unexpected crossover fanbase where anime and gaming fans have developed genuine interest in the actual horses behind their favorite characters. There have even been cases where players donated to the farms or visited the real-life inspirations during events. The love for these characters has turned into real-world support for retired champions, proving that the emotional attachment built in-game can transcend the screen.</p>

Step into a world where legendary racehorses have been reborn as spirited young women with dreams of racing glory. Umamusume: Pretty Derby combines deep character development with competitive sports simulation, creating an engaging experience that blends visual novel storytelling with strategic training mechanics. This unique take on sports simulation offers players the chance to guide their chosen uma musume through intensive training regimens and thrilling race competitions.
