Equestrian the Game 4+

I’ve been following the journey of this game from the start and was very excited to try it out. Overall the graphics are pretty good. Some little issues like the manes can occasionally look a little stringy and I’ve found leg wraps don’t work too well on the Cobs legs because of the length of hair on their legs. Apart from that I’ve found the graphics to be pretty realistic and nice to look at.
The tack available is lovely and there are so many different options to choose from for both horse and avatar which makes the game really fun to play and show friends your wardrobe, although all of this needs to be bought either gold and gold seems to be quite a challenge to get in the game without buying it and can become very very pricey. Unfortunately not everyone can afford to pay for gold for just a saddle pad. I do think if prices of accessories were lowered ..more people would be inclined to play.
The training process is great and I’ve really enjoyed learning how to train my horses and compete in competitions!
The coat colours at the moment are limited but I think that is to be expected with the game being so new and still in development. Overall I have loved playing this game and I’m excited to see what’s the come in the future of ETG.

Don’t normally write reviews but this game in its current form is completely unplayable. The controls are absolutely awful and really take all enjoyment out of the game for me. I understand the reins being more realistic to an actual horse but at the end of the game it’s a game and going too far to make it realistic will ruin it, which the controls have done. I feel like tilt to control direction and buttons for speed and jumping would make it a lot nicer to play.
Coins is another thing that lets the game down. It’s seemingly impossible to buy any tack without having to spend real money, which honestly makes the devs come across extremely money hungry, as you can’t buy anything without real money. I’m sure there are plenty of people willing to put a lot of real money into the game, and I would if it got you exciting things, but the fact that the only real way to buy tack for a horse in a horse game is to spend real money, come on people. If you want to play it as a free game be prepared to be bored extremely quickly.
I was so excited for this game as I have followed the development of it for a long time but it’s just nothing like I thought it would be and overall a bit of a disappointment.
Now, I know the game is still in its early stages which I completely understand, and the controls could very well be a work in progress, but everything about the coins does leave a bit of a sour taste in your mouth, even for the future.

I love this game, I’ve had it downloaded for a long time now and have paid for monthly subscription previously. It’s extremely accurate and realistic best riding game I’ve found so far on mobile. However, I’ve recently had a lot of issues with the app that I never had before. It closes down the app often and doesn’t let me go out on trail rides since updating on both iPhone and Samsung, I’m really disappointed with this as I use the trails to build my horses stats often so really hope this is fixed in the next update.

I also think that horses should be purchased with the green money like it used to be, gold coins are expensive and really hard to win in game so it’s now much harder to upgrade the farm and purchase horses from the market than it used to be previously. I think it doesn’t make sense that you can only sell your horses for green money but have to buy them with gold coins, the horses you breed on the farm and even the horses purchased from market with gold coins only sell for green money.

I wouldn’t pay for a monthly subscription since the new updates, if it was easier to upgrade farm and buy horses like it was previously and stoped randomly shutting out then I’d happily reconsider purchasing subscriptions and change my review to 5* as it used to be a really excellent game.
