About This Game

A sports life-simulation where players act as trainers for anthropomorphized racehorses (“Uma Musume”), raising and training them through daily activities and entering them in races. Tone is anime-styled, character-driven, and generally light, but the game uses gacha mechanics for character acquisition and features multiplayer leaderboards and community features. citeturn2search0turn2search2

Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5

Not recommended. The game contains gacha (real-money lotteries) and age-rated content (App Store 13+ with sexual content and loot boxes), so it’s unsuitable for young children.

ℹ️Ages 6-8

Generally not recommended. Contains gambling-like gacha mechanics and in-app purchases that can encourage spending; parent supervision and strict purchase controls would be required.

ℹ️Ages 9-12

Caution advised. Older preteens who understand microtransactions and have parental spending controls may enjoy the training and story aspects, but parents should disable purchases and discuss gacha odds before play.

ℹ️Ages 13-15

Mostly acceptable with guidance. Teen players can handle gameplay complexity and community features, but parents should monitor spending and in-game chat and be aware of occasional suggestive imagery.

ℹ️Ages 16-18

Appropriate for mature teens and adults. Be mindful of aggressive monetization (gacha/loot mechanics) and online/social features; manage purchases and privacy settings.
