The worst part is that they are entirely random and some of them you cannot close until after waiting for a period of time. Between every chapter, you have to watch an ad, if you get an answer wrong in the bonding events you have to watch an ad to get a second chance at a correct answer and after using all your bonding events you have to watch an ad, and wait half an hour for your three bonding points to renew (or watch an advert to get an additional one). You can pay to have the ads removed but if you don’t, they really get in the way. This is a free-to-play game with in-app purchases, and this clearly shows. My main issue with My Horse Prince isn’t so much the weird setting, but the game’s design. To their credit, the CGs are really well drawn and fit, but there aren’t enough of them. While the drawings are very well done, the CGs in particular are not the kind of thing you’d want to be seen playing in public. Some of it is funny at times, but it makes for a very weird experience considering the context. It is clear this game is not meant to be taken seriously, and this is shown in the dialogue, which is very lighthearted and only serves to carry along the minimal story. You can do this up to three times every half an hour. To build up the energy required to do this, you will need to trigger events with Yuuma and answer the dialogue appropriately to get more points. Admittedly, the execution of these events is both hilarious and baffling at the same time, such as Yuuma playing the guitar in a concert and lifting huge boulders during training. The actual gameplay consists of two parts – textbook romance VN interactions and touching markers on the screen to trigger an event and fill a meter.
