All games have RNG in some form.
Most games these days have DLC/microtransactions/collectors editions/preorder bonuses etc etc that try to milk as much money out of you as possible.
This game can be played completely for free, and it's quite fun even if you don't want to go full minmaxer. It's a good training style game, with a ton of attention to detail to each horse and their story as they reflect the careers of their real life counterparts, but translated into a "cuter" way. It's very well put together, every aspect of it. I don't play gacha games but I gave this game a chance because I had fun with princess maker, digimon etc and this also has some roguelite elements for tons of replayability, a breeding system that mirrors pokemon autism, and all sorts of complexity under the hood. The characters are well written. You can play it like a lighthearted visual novel if you please, or you can go all in on trying to make the strongest umas possible and race them online. Take your time to breed and you can create some pretty strong umas that rival even whales. Obviously it's "pay to win" in that sense that you'll never be #1 without unloading a fuck ton of money, but you can get pretty far as a f2p. And as far as just enjoying the single player and career? There's a ton of content there for a free game. As an adament gachafag hater for the longest time, I give it two thumbs up. The anime and music are also really good.
