Sep 10, 2024Umamusume: Party Dash has the cute horse girls and engaging story of the original game, but lacks replay value unless you have friends or are willing to play against random people online. It’s strange to judge a party game on its “replay value,” I understand. But even if I were to invite a bunch of friends over for Party Dash night, I doubt we’d play it for too long. The small number of mini-games really holds back what could be an awesome spin-off title.

Sep 4, 2024The game offers enough fan service to satisfy the original fans, making it worth the money. The visual quality is excellent, and the story is decent. However, the downside is that the game lacks content for a party game. While the quality of each mini-game is not bad, the repetitive nature makes it easy to get bored after a while.

Aug 29, 2024Umamusume: Pretty Derby — Party Dash is an upbeat title offering both solo and multiplayer modes. With four unique events to play, there is a lot of quirky fun to be had here.

Aug 29, 2024If you’re a fan of Umamusume Pretty Derby, Party Dash is worth getting. Its cute retro art direction manages to capture the energy and charisma of the franchise even if it's a little lackluster on the surface level. The PC port I played ahead of release ran perfectly fine but being able to use resolutions above 1080p would've been nice. What is here is a great and will delight fans but might not be enough to turn newcomers into Umamusume-believers.

Aug 29, 2024Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Party Dash is an absolute gift for horse girl fans everywhere. The game isn't without fault, though, and there's some technical issues and slightly underbaked gameplay, but fans will probably come galloping anyway.

Aug 29, 2024Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Party Dash is a decent party game, but some poor events and a lack of tutorials spoil the experience a bit

Aug 29, 2024Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Party Dash packs fun moments across its limited set of mini-games. While I wish there were more content, what’s here has enough quality to warrant a few hours hanging out with Tokai, I mean the Horse Girls. The pixel art is gorgeous, and the in-game rewards with new characters on the way showcase that there are plenty of ways to enjoy this chaotic party game.

Sep 4, 2024The concept of horse girls competing in whacky mini games undoubtedly has potential as a game. But Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Party Dash’s four contests are remarkably bland, with each growing stale after a few replays. There’s fun to be had in an unlockable mini-game, dialog in the game’s story mode, and in an unlockable mini-game, but there’s not nearly enough value or vigor to recommend a full priced purchase.
