Rival stars horse racing guide8/17/2023 ![]() ![]() And with the beautiful horse animations and solid gameplay loop that the game already offers, I am very much eager for more. Right off the bat Rival Stars Horse Racing is probably one of the best horse racing games youll play and its free for iPhone and Android. That these investments are considered worth the effort by PikPoks speaks to Rival Stars’ success and suggests a realization that there is more profit to be made from horse-loving gamers and our hunger for good horsie content. With this latest update promising fairly fundamental feature additions though, it looks like Rival Stars might be growing into its price tag on Desktop. I’ve always found the Desktop Edition worth its 40$ since I vastly prefer to pay upfront and then not have microtransactions pushed at me, but I completely understand that it’s a steep price tag for many players. I’m confident that as usual, the updates will come to the PC and Mac with a bit of a delay, although there hasn’t been explicit confirmation of that yet. Even so, I am incredibly excited for these changes and to learn what’s in store for the game. So far, it’s not quite clear how much is really to come and how drastically this will change the core gameplay of Rival Stars, with Racing having very much been at the heart of the game experience so far. The first changes will be released on Mobile next week, with no announcement for the Desktop Edition yet.

The video teases what looks like a Cross Country course, though so far no actual jumps are shown. ![]() Now in March, Rival Stars has released a new developer update video that confirms the Quick Ride feature was only the start of something bigger: Coming soon, your Rival Stars horses will have Agility and Jumping stats, in addition to the previously available Speed, Sprint Energy and Acceleration. Considering Quick Ride’s experimental character, these issues may well be fixed in the future. I assume this is because of limited control options on mobile, but on Desktop it would add a lot to let the player rotate the camera with the mouse. There are 4 main reasons you might be breeding your horses. My second peeve is that I cannot rotate my camera around the horse to see it from the side. Breeding Rival Star Horse Racing Player Guide Wiki Fandom in: All Pages Breeding View source Breeding is a vital and important aspect of RSHR gameplay. Which is a shame, because the animations for walk and canter are there and no less gorgeous! This makes it almost impossible to maintain a walk or slow canter, effectively reducing your gaits to trot and gallop. Unfortunately I also have some issues with it: I find the controls fairly awkward, as you have to constantly press space in order to speed up. ![]()
