I love this game so much, just playing it for hours is fun and you can really get lost in this game if you don't keep track of time.

Way worth the money. The free version is pay-to-win garbage, while this version is fully dependent on the amount of work you put into it. There's no ads, no timers for training, and most importantly, NO ENERGY. You can play as long as you want to! Plus it's way easier to progress in this version.

C'est un bon jeux de gestion de chevaux, un peu redondant en effet (mais c'est le propre de ce type de jeux), pas d'achat integré (encore heureux vu quon achète un jeux complet et le prix va avec). Perso pour le prix ( je l'ai eu en promo steam) il vaut le coup! Pas en promo un peu moins!

I've loved playing horse games my whole life and really enjoy finding new ones to play! I've seen Rival Stars recommended so many times, I had to give it a shot. I really enjoyed it! Generally, the horse mechanics are good and the horses are pretty. The different coat patterns and colors are fun. I hate how the Akhal-Tekes looked so avoided using them for breeding as much as possible. The breeding can be a little wonky, but didn't bother me too much. Leveling up is my favorite goal and loved unlocking new grades to breed. It was really frustrating once I reached level 20 with grade 10 horses and discovered they don't give you any grade 10s in the stud farm to breed to or in the market to purchase, so I spent forever breeding grade 9s till I finally got a 10 and then forever trying to get grade 10s with good stats. The only way to feasibly do this is to repeatedly breed parent to offspring which I did not like doing. Now, I've completed the storyline and will probably put the game down for a few months before starting over with a new save! All in all, I did like this game and would recommend it, but there were some things that I would have changed. I hated that my lower grade horses essentially became useless and took up space, so I had to sell them or send them to the pasture. Ranch of Rivershine has a pasture mechanic as well, but you can actually see them while roaming around your farm which is nice. Also in Ranch of Rivershine, you can eventually level up lower level horses using the statue bonuses, so if you have a lower level horse you're really attached to, you could keep them forever. I was really sad to let many of my horses go in Rival Stars lol The game ran fine on my computer and I didn't have issues with crashing or working incorrectly.

EDIT: I just remembered something that really annoyed me while playing this game: the scrolling!! Why is scrolling through the races and horses etc. so wonky! If I use the mouse wheel to scroll down the list of horses, it goes extremely slow. If I use the arrow keys or WASD to scroll through horses or races, it jumps around or gets through part of the list and then jumps back to the beginning, or doesn't work at all! When trying to navigate over to other courses or races with the arrow keys or WASD, it often bounces back to where you started! Very frustrating and something that should be a very basic thing to do.

Als Fan von Pferderennsport hat mir das Spiel grundsätzlich gut gefallen. Die Grafik ist schön und das Thema macht Spaß. Leider wird das Gameplay nach einer Weile ziemlich repetitiv, da sich viele Missionen nur mit höherem Schwierigkeitsgrad wiederholen. Für zwischendurch okay, auf Dauer aber etwas eintönig.

I enjoyed this game; but couldn't continue playing due to the mobile mechanics.
In a computer game, I shouldn't have to wait an hour to do- anything. There should be no point in time where I'm just waiting, for the sake of waiting.
On a phone, a system like this works, because you can be on the move, quickly open your phone, do a couple things; and move on. By the time your even available to play again, your timers are pretty much gone.
When I sit down at a computer, with the intent to play a game; I don't want to be there for only 2 minutes. I want to play for a duration. This game, and games like this; are not compatible with that.

I really like the animation, it's extremely realistic. I think the quests have just a perfect difficulty. Though, I do wish you could have an option between doing the storyline, or having complete free play with different disciplines rather than just free roam and cross country. This game is chef's kiss, still. Thank you!

Way better than the mobile game. You can progress a lot faster without having to pay an extra subscription price. I wouldn't get it at full price though because there aren't any improved graphics over the phone ap. The crowds are one dimensional and the graphics of the jockeys are a little uncanny valley. But lots of fun.

Le jeu est plutôt pas mal, les graphismes sont vraiment beau, beaucoup de races et de robe, c'est cool parce qu'il n'y a pas que des courses de plat mais aussi du cross, des balades libre et des parcours de saut qui on été ajouté récemment, le système d'élevage est plutôt bien aussi malgré les longs temps d'attente ( environ 30 minutes pour un poulain ), mais quelques points négatif quand même comme le fait que les chevaux ne vieillissent jamais.. ou qu'on ne peux pas effectuer de pensage, je trouve cela dommage car sa aurais vraiment été un + dans le jeu. Certains objectif sont également trop long à réaliser a mon gout.. Bref le jeu est bien dans l'ensemble ^^

曾经在ipad简单玩过免费版，买断制是对的，三位数的价格确实高了些但趁马匹游戏节能半价购入我个人就比较能接受了，游戏有些年头了所以画面没有那么精致但也十分能打，从繁育到竞赛整体玩法非常对我路子，真的是相当不错的游戏，高中时就总喜欢幻想自己是马主给马起很多名字再幻想它们建立功名，也算是小小的圆梦了
但基本每次升级都要强迫卖马，到后期甚至需要卖很多高等级的，虽然是虚拟的但强迫出售所谓自己的心血真的很令我抵触和反感，希望可以改进

This game has great customization options, but kinda lacks in everything else. It's hard to feel attached to the horses as you need to focus on ones with better stats to progress, and you end up usually selling low-level horses to keep up. The game is overly grindy in my opinion, and I'm the typa gamer who's fine with grinding a bit. The flat-racing and cross-country game modes feel the most exciting, but other game modes lack the same vibe, and just feel more like a walking simulator with some jumping in between.

I will say though, as mentioned before the horse customizer is great and it has more depth than other horse games I've played. The game definitely handles horse genes and coats realistically as the horse breeding can carry dominant and/or recessive genes, coat patterns and etc. As a equine figure customizer, sometimes I play the game to give myself ideas for realistic repaints!

The trailer looked promising, but after playing the game for a bit, there's really not that much going on with the game modes, and there's no horse maintance besides when you care for a foal, and even then it's just button click to 'feed'. If you do buy this game, definitely get in on sale as I don't think it's worth $40 for the little bit of content it has within. Hoping that the devs will add more horse care elements, otherwise I can't recommend it in its current state unfortunately...

I caught this game at about 40% off on sale, it is worth it for that price. Overall, I am pleased with this horse game. It has several different kinds of competitions, it is nice to switch it up sometimes and adds value if you ask me. It's main competitions seems to be flat racing though, that is the main events to get to higher levels. Overall good game but, training is just clicking on a button, and horse care doesn't really apply in this game. But on a high note, I really love the different breeds of horses on here, as somebody who knows their breeds it is a nice feature. But it really is a fun overall horse racing game that I would recommend.

Over all I liked the game. Even though at first it seems very similar to a phone game it gets better. The races are pretty fun, there are a lot of different challenges, types of competition (not just races, but cross-country, steeple chase, jumping and also free roam). The story is typical to this kind of games. The animation is very good (compared to other horse games). The only thing that would make this game better is if we could actually walk around our ranch and talk to people instead of just skipping pop up dialogues like in hidden objects games. I really enjoy the routine stuff in other games like cleaning the padlocks, washing horses, cleaning hooves etc. But this stuff is missing here unfortunately.
I’d recommend this game to people who love horse games and enjoy looking at pretty good animated horses.

amazing game if you love horses lots of fun the quality of the game is worth its price unlike a lot of other horse themed games. However at this point I wouldn't recommend buying it if your a mobile player as the desktop version has not been updated for months and is unlikely to be updated anytime soon as the developers have stated they are taking a break and have basically abandoned the desktop version of the game while mobile is receiving weekly updates.

I would love to be able to recommend this game but I just cant. The only good aspects are the racing/event mini-games and the horse customization. Everything else is pretty bad.

It feels more like a demo than an actual game with many missing features and feels more like a very, very long tutorial. It has the foundations to be something amazing but falls short in too many aspects in its current state. It needs quality of life updates, player customization and honestly the story quests need a major update. Its just the same thing over and over again and doesn't really manage to make me interested in learning the story.

I'd love to be able to talk to the npcs outside of the quests, maybe something leaning further into the point and click aspects of the game or anything to make me actually care about the npcs here. They seem so lifeless.

In short this game has a long way to go and isn't worth 40 bucks, I don't think its even worth 20 when its half off.

I'd say this game is worth it IF buying it with a good discount - as I did. And having some kind of interest in horses, too.
It's fun to play every now and then, as well as taking part in the different races and trying to breed and train better horses to compete with.
It gets repetitive from a certain point on, making it less interesting to play in general.
Love the few different mechanics added for different kinds of races.
Would leave on a positive note if the game would let me do what I'm supposed to do! But sometimes it doesn't detect the buttons I have to press.
For someone completely new to Rival Stars it had left me absolutely confused when explaining what to press during the tutorial but none of what I did being registered by the game...
This leaves me with a bit of a bad aftertaste for the game.

What on earth? I'm clearly not the target audience, because the playability of this game just isn't there.

The game is just:

1. Press different menu buttons to "gain acchievements". Even upgrading the horse stats is just pressing a button - there's no minigame etc, which you'd expect.
2. Racing is just pressing space and steering the horse right and left.

I was thinking of the good old relaxing horse/stable games, where you need to actually take care of the horses, the stables, and then you get to race too in different environments. I'm very disappointed - although that's perhaps not the fault of the game. This game just simply wasn't what I was looking for.

This game is great for people who enjoy a simple game play, but if you're looking for something more - perhaps not a great fit.

I've been a fan of this game for years, beginning with the mobile version before transitioning to desktop. The one-time payment for the desktop game is a nice change from the microtransaction-heavy mobile version. However, I found myself finishing the desktop game much faster and losing interest far sooner than expected compared to the mobile app, which continues to engage me, with me having about 100 hours, and still having quests to complete and levels to pass. The challenge and slower progression on mobile have kept me invested over the years. For this game, you can do free roam, but the game is mostly a racing game; it is not open world (it would be cool if it were), and the graphics are pretty decent. You have 20 levels and tons of quests to complete, you can breed horses and feed them, but you can't brush the horses. You have flat racing, cross country, steeplechase, and a new one, which is show jumping, although i don't play that mode much. The desktop version is more laid-back, but doesn't get the updates that mobile gets, so it can lack in some places. It lets you fully customize your own horse—something not available on mobile. Plus, there’s no wait time for training or energy limit for racing like mobile, making gameplay more relaxed but quicker. As much I love this game, I regret buying the desktop version only to lose interest after about 40 hours. I continue to play the mobile game, but mostly just to grind. If you’re new to the game, I recommend starting with the mobile version since it is free to download, but strongly advise against spending money on it—the microtransactions are primarily a cash grab, and the horses for sale are definitely not worth it since you can breed better horses if you just put in the time and work. If you like quick and easy game play then I would say get it but don't expect anything over the top

Думала что это будет игра, где можно полноценно ухаживать за лошадьми хотя-бы на ферме какой или на локации, а по сути это просто симулятор нажатия кнопок на интерфейсе с 3д моделями лошадей, очень разочарована. Единственное, где вы можете поуправлять лошадью и наездником — мыльные скачки с картонками вместо зрителей. Надо отойти от этой "игры", пойду лучше поиграю в Барби Приключения на Ранчо, даже она на фоне этого имеет больше геймплея.

Rival Stars Horse Racing is a fun, engaging game with a lot of depth and charm. The gameplay loop is genuinely enjoyable, and there’s always something to work toward. Racing feels smooth and exciting, and the sprinting mechanics—especially using the spacebar—are intuitive and easy to use.

One of the standout features is the horses themselves. There’s an impressive variety of breeds and a huge range of color variations. The breeding system is especially well done; trying to breed for specific colors and traits is rewarding and adds a lot of long-term enjoyment to the game. There’s also plenty to do overall, so the game rarely feels repetitive.

The only real drawback is the lack of a keybinding or control customization section. Certain parts of the game, like show jumping, are locked to specific keys with no option to change them. Adding keybinding options would greatly improve accessibility and make an already great game even better.

Overall, this is a very enjoyable game with strong gameplay, great visuals, and a lot of content. With customizable controls added, it would be even better.

I got this game on a whim of 'oh it's a horse game, but I'm sure it's boring after a while'. No. This game is so addictive and fun and I'm genuinely so invested. Who am I breeding my horses with? I need to win these races. I want my ranch to be top tier. ALSO, I get to name and design my own ranch??? And the horse customization is insane. I'm a horse girl through and through and this game was clearly made with the purest horse girl intentions. I wish I could customize my rider more, but that's about the only thing I wish was different. The storyline, the emotion, the actual proudness I feel when my horse wins or gets top three in a race. It's phenomenal. I don't even know if I've ever written a game review before but my god. This game is worth every penny. This is amazing. The true definition of awesome.

Extremely obvious mobile game port, and far too pricey for what it is. Might be worth it at ~$15 or less, but for $40? Hell no.

You can't interact with the horses at all. There's racing, where you wait for a bar to fill up and then tap space in time to get a speed boost, cross country, where you follow a path and hold space to speed up before jumps, and jumping, which I didn't play long enough to unlock but looks like more of the same. The breeding system is fairly involved, but it's hard/rare get horses on par with your starter, and when you do it's pretty likely to be a different breed so the offspring would lose their purebred stat bonuses. You can make custom horses to get around that, but they can't be bred until you reach level 20. The foals are cute, but your only options are feeding them (with a cooldown) for a small stat bonus or instantly aging them up.

As a whole, it's not a *bad* game per se, just an extremely shallow one that's way too expensive, even 50% off

There's not much to complain about when it comes to graphics, sound, and animations - unlike the gameplay loop.

To me, the game feels like a never-ending tutorial in which I'm just bluntly ticking off the boxes that the game dictates. And the controls for racing and breeding are too rudimentary to break up the monotonous, rail-riding gaming experience.

Within the refund period, the game showed no signs that this would change as it progressed.
It might well work as a mobile game, but on PC, it's a thumbs down for me, which is quite a shame, because more could have been made of this port.

I like this game, it gets kinda boring once you complete the storylines tho. All i can do is breeding and competing for what feels like nothing tbh. I would love some more in depth on the horses, and also harness racing but otherwise great game.

My 7-8 year old cousin however does not give a fluff about the storyline, even when i translate it for her. She breeds and competes with her like 1-3 star something horses. I made her a save for herself as she does not have a computer, and everytime she comes over she asks "can we play the horse game" like i do not have too many horse games to count, but every time she means RSHR. The controls in the racing gamemode are very easy for her as she struggles with learning the WASD controls, and i can even just leave her with the computer without her needing help like she does with other games. If you have a younger horse loving cousin, sibling or kid whos either getting their own computer or wanting something to play on yours i 100% will always recommend this game

Full disclosure I played the mobile game for about 18 months before I jumped to the PC version.

I just hit level 20 prestige which is the max. I have a handful of goals left but otherwise I'm in story mode where I play with the custom horse creator and multiplayer. I haven't touched mulitplayer yet.

Pros:
• For the first 15 or so prestige levels the goals are well balanced and fun to achieve.
• I really enjoy the cross breed mechanic and the stat boost that brings as you have to really think about your bloodlines.
• Having access to flat racing, steeplechase, showjumping and cross country keeps away boredom while levelling and lets you produce a variety of bloodlines for a variety of purposes. I particularly appreciate the closer to realism of the showjumping at the higher levels with the tight turns, big jumps, and sometimes difficult striding.
• It's great for dopamine. It's simple the understand, there are continuous milestones and feel good moments. I'm not much of a gamer but I needed something that didn't require too much brain to help me relax after a long day of work, this achieved that fabulously.

Cons:
• Nothing is done with the legacy bloodline. I started with a mare with Ds across the board for stats and I tried to breed some decent foals but I ended up buying a fantastic mare from the store and creating a bloodline from here. I was never penalised for it. So the legacy thing is worthless as it currently stands.
• The progression on the later prestige levels is a bit tedious. The good rewards - new cross country courses, new race courses, higher level horses - dry up and get spaced out to a frustrating level.
• There are only two cross country locations which gets really dull after a while. There are so many goals which result in you doing the same five courses over, and over, and over. I was really hoping we'd get four locations as there are four free roam locations but it appears we're stuck with the two.
• The goal type becomes monotonous at the higher levels. They're the same things again, and again. I wanted something fresh, give me some showjumping goals, some more steeplechase goals, something with the legacy line. I don't know, just something else.

Bugs:
I have a mare with A+ stats across the board, she's level 9, and I still cannot win race 5 on the local cross country course. There are two spots on the course where the horse stops dead and there's nothing I can do to stop it, which loses me at least 5 seconds. I've turned down the graphics, tried every route/path, every speed, and I just cannot win that race as the horse stops every. Single. Time. It completely ruins the experience of the already frustrating cross country, and I love the cross country it's my favourite race type.

Summary:
Yes I recommend it if you want a fun, easy on the brain, dopamine releasing game. It has some flaws, but it's worth the sale price of £15 that I paid.

[h2]To keep in mind - PikPok officially announced on their Discord server that the Desktop Edition is going on an indefinite hiatus. They confirmed that the game will not be receiving major updates during this period.[/h2]

As a whole, the game is… fine. It’s nice to have a more structured horse racing game with a bit of actual story behind it, especially in a genre full of bland sims. The foundation here is solid, and there’s definitely potential.

The biggest issue though, is that this is very clearly a [b]mobile port.[/b]

If this had been built for PC from the ground up with proper PC controls, smaller buttons and better UI, unlocked camera movement, and graphics designed to take advantage of the platform then it could have been great. Instead, it feels like a mobile game awkwardly transplanted onto my PC. You can’t freely move the camera with the mouse since it’s locked to A & D controls, and steering your horse feels slow and clunky even with 150+ stats. The movement genuinely feels like I’m dragging my finger across my screen rather than playing on a keyboard.

Questing is a [b]huge[/b] frustration at times. Most progression is streamlined and happens naturally as you play. But occasionally you’ll hit a requirement like "Get a horse to level X stat." By that point, I’d already trained my main horses beyond that by progressing through the courses given to me. So instead of having the quest automatically checked, I’m forced to breed or buy a spare horse just to grind it up to that specific stat level to unlock the next step. On top of that, training upgrades are mission locked too so if you can't buy a new horse to pass that quest then you're stunted from progression.

To this game's credit, the PC edition removes the all the microtransactions found in the mobile version. Currency is easier to earn, and breeding quality horses feels more accessible. However, the downside of that is the lack of updates, live events, event cosmetics, and community engagement compared to the mobile version. It feels like the PC edition is always behind in support, so I would love to see the developers try to dedicate a team to the PC edition's development to keep things on an equal level.

Overall, I’d honestly recommend playing the mobile version since it’s free. It’s more fleshed out, more actively supported, and gives you a better idea of what the game is trying to be instead of this more hollow shell of it.

我是在50%特價的時候買的
以一款原價599元的遊戲來說：
1. 馬匹在毛色多樣性搭配上基本蠻足的應該可以滿足中端的要求
不會太多但至少可以搭配很多選擇
2. 馬匹身上的裝備包含馬鞍、韁繩、頭套等等第一次看很新穎但其實比賽你只會看跑道
3. 養成機制有點枯燥有種滿滿的手游感不是很自由
4. 你跟馬的關係只停留在騎牠在介面訓練跟偶爾餵餵小馬
5. 賽馬部份上的戰術感較低確實有些要捏時機
但比起真實的賽馬考量的其實沒有想像中的多與真實
6. 沒有固定自選的比賽、場地有時候要跑完一場你不想跑的比賽才能刷新新的比賽

為什麼我舉出那麼多缺點但我還是給好評
主要是我是在特價買的這個價錢對得起這種中下品質的遊戲
我不會不推薦別人買但遊戲性確實希望大家評估
我自己是因為喜歡馬才有心繼續開繼續玩

Really wanted to like this game, but it's literally just a desktop ported mobile game and that's a huge bummer. So much more potential is to be had here, like actually training the horses yourself with mini games or something, not just click and pay. It's unfortunate, because I'm always on the hunt for a good horse game, this just isn't it. Graphics are nice, game play is....lackluster to say the least.

It is a desktop adaptation of a mobile game, and it has not been adapted well. The gameplay is very repetitive, stretched thin by a tedious "checklist" like progression system.

While I enjoy grinding for a build, this isn't it. The races offer zero challenge because your horses are perpetually overleveled—a side effect of being forced to grind specific quotas just to unlock the next tier. This design kills all user agency. You don’t breed for aesthetics or race for profit; you do it because the game demands it in a specific order. Deviating from the script is actively punished. For example, if you level a horse to 8 before the game "asks" you to reach level 7, you're forced to buy a new horse and repeat the grind just to clear the quest.

The breeding system boasts a variety of stats and patterns, but the mid-game slog is so discouraging it’s hard to care. Every time you unlock a new "grade," you’re forced to breed with random stock, effectively diluting your previous efforts. Can you just rush to the endgame? No—the endless quests makes that impossible.

If you just want to look at pretty horses, this might suffice. Just don’t expect a shred of strategy or challenge.

I bought the PC version because I find it hard to play games on my phone. I thought the PC version would continue to get the same updates that the mobile version does but recently they are making it seem as if they will not be updating the PC version. Bummed out, but it isn't worth the price for a game you will never get all the features for.

If you don't care about all that- it's a decent game on PC & still enjoyable.

I'm going to refund this. It's just the mobile phone game, but with the F2P elements removed... and that's not entirely a bad thing, but the gameplay loop is just lazy (your standard mobile F2P game grind). The racing is enjoyable but too easy, and the other modes (crosscountry, jumping, etc) are just ok. I might as well just stick with PS2's Gallop Racer series.

It's a fun little game if you are into horses. I got invested, the gameplay is a lil rigid but I like the management side and levelling up the farm is very satisfying.
My main complaint is with the coat patterns. There is almost no solid colours, almost every horse is some variation of Paint or Leopard. I imagine this is because there is so many variations of these but only one solid and they are balanced equally? For me it kills the immersion a little because every race looks like a clownshow. The last four foals I got where all just beige despite my horses being dark, not sure if this is a bug but it killed the fun for me.
I wouldn't pay full price for this

one of my favourite readily available horse games :) a lot of horse games feel very horse girl-y and a bit childish and unrealistic, but this one has a really good breeding system, fun races, even jumping and cross country which is nice. i think it's a little overpriced so i would get it on sale, but the devs are steadily updating the game so i dont mind supporting that. the game is free on mobile but has microtransactions, so i think its worth it to buy this version if you want to play it for an extended period of time

Thanks to the new bundle with Ranch of Rivershine, I decided to pick this up during Steam's Horse Fest sale. I knew this game was on mobile at first, and that this is a port, so my expectations were honestly not very high. I have to say, about 3 1/2 hours in, I am enjoying it quite a lot! It does at times feel like a mobile game (especially in the UI and timers), but the total package is pretty solid. There is a lot to do, and the horses look amazing! Having a mobile game origin, this also means it plays wonderfully on the Deck. It's a perfect second-screen game when you just want to buy, breed, train, and race horses (especially once you unlock jockeys), and take control for the more fun cross country and jumping activities.

I really hope they continue to add whatever content has not yet made it over from the mobile version!

Decent game on sale, and I almost gave it a thumbs down, but visually it's nice. It's been on mobile for sometime and gets way too grindy and less enjoyable on pc to appreciate the story at all, for a single-player mindset especially. Could really benefit from Mods, or better ways to decrease the cost to train, in single-player mode for sure. I play games to enjoy them...this one becomes a chore quickly. *So that's my two cent, my digital horses might end up starving before I earn enough to train them.

Game is okay, I'd give it 5/10. The UI and multiplayer are buggy. I can't even scroll through options. There's been little progress over the past few years. Announcer can't say common words like "agility". A rest period after races seems more realistic rather than just race after race, there's no discrete time period/progression, no horse ages. No time requirement for training. It costs just as much to breed with your own stallion vs. the stud farm which seems ridiculous when a foal sells for 1/4 of the breeding cost. No dings/penalties for terrible jumps during showjumping. The realism just isn't there. Maybe it's just the consequence of targetting 8 year old girls, but I would think that there would be a desire to target a larger audience.

I also don't like how the story forces you to progress a certain way, I'm often ahead of the goals which means I have to breed/buy and level new horses, repeat races I'm far past, etc., putting hard limit on my progress which is very frustrating. I have the money and horse skills to advance but I can't unless I've done a specific quest.

More autonomy and more realism would be nice. It has a lot of potential, but it needs more development. It's a money grab trying to appeal to PC and mobile, which in itself can't support a continuously playable PC game. Other games have had separate mobile and PC platforms, offering more content for PC players. This feels like I just spent $20 on a mobile game. I'm so glad I didn't full price for it, and in hindsight I really don't think its worth more than $10.
