Our take on Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Party Dash
Rather than centering its cast on a conventional race, the game places them in a four-event school festival that mixes hurdles, shooting, dodgeball, and food challenges. Its separate Gold Ship adventure also shifts the format toward roguelike combat and loot collection.
What is Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Party Dash?
Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Party Dash is an action game built around the Slapdash Grand Prix, a school festival with four events: Hurtling Hurdles, Blazing Baskets, Dodgeball Demolition, and Gourmet Gauntlet.
Players can unlock up to 25 playable pixel-art Umamusume across four teams, with five members per team.
