EquiMagic - Galashow of Horses

This is probably one of the worst games ever created. Clunky controls, almost no music/sound design through most of the game, a tutorial that is extremely unintuitive and not to mention actually broken as the grooming minigame seems to require an item it didn't give me and just altogether a completely unpleasant experience. The shame is that it's a solid idea that COULD have been done very well, but it's just bad. It's just a bad game.

I was going to recommend EquiMagic after about four hours of play, but the further I went into it the less I liked it. The overall idea is neat and probably appealing if you find stuff like Cavalia or the Lipizzaner horses interesting, but what you'll get is something more akin to the lowrider minigame from GTA: San Andreas - yes that irritating, rage-quit inducing one. You MUST get very good at "steering" your horse via mouse as well as timing key presses to the second if you want to finish this game. EquiMagic is also missing features listed on the store page, namely breeding. You earn money from successful shows and can buy five separate horses with that cash, nothing else. Heck, the Shetland Pony which will be your last purchase doesn't even have a show to be used in and its sole achievement is glitchy. The "Learning missions" are really just a super-lacking tutorial that ends abruptly after your first show. Horse care boils down to waving your mouse over the animals in a pre-set direction and hoping it registers to "clean" them. I have a feeling this was intended to be a far longer game, as upon completion you'll find lots of items in the store not assigned to anything as we…

Can't recommend the game in its current state. After around 2 hours a gamebreaking bug prevented me from progressing. Spent another 2 hours trying everything I could think of to fix it but nothing worked. Wrote a mail to the developer but didn't get an answer. Requested a Steam refund but - of course - it didn't go through due to over 2 hours playtime + over 2 weeks since purchase (even though most of the playtime is from trying to fix the game and it's been over 2 weeks because I waited for the answer that never came from the developers). Even though I enjoyed the bit I was able to play, I regret having wasted my money on a broken game.

Sure, Fine i recommend it, Lol. Okay look, i completed the game in about three hours. Was it a good time? Actually yes, the game runs really well, there weren't any technical hangups. Aside from one really glaringly obvious one when it comes to the competitions, which, is the whole game. When you're in a show, or a competition, you cant freely move your camera, so, you cant see the number you need to press in order to complete the action. But honestly, that's my only gripe, this would make a great kids game. Its straight forward, you get to spend time with the horses in any way you want when you want. The money system is so lax you could probably buy the whole store by show 4. And you know what im pretty happy about the price too, most horse games now a days its hard enough to get them to run properly let alone you're being flat out robbed based on how little content they offer for such steep prices. This one did great, id happily pay 10 dollars for an experience like this.

i love it

It's Different from any other game i've played before, though some controls are a bit odd in the show arena and training hall but overall it's fun. Few updates and this game will be even better.
