Equestriad World Tour vs Howrse
Equestriad World Tour
Equestriad World Tour is a mobile horse game that was just recently launched, and boy! What a horse game it is! Giving other popular mobile horse games a run for their money, this new title features gorgeously-rendered horses that you can unlock as you level up, fun horse care-related mini-games, and most interestingly, multiplayer-based horse events including dressage, cross country and show jumping.Besides events, horse care is another vital aspect of the gameplay mainly because not only it is the right thing to do, but also your horse can get a nice stat boost if it is well taken care of. There are 4 parts to horse care, which include the usual like washing your horse, brushing it down, cleaning the hooves and giving it treats. However, note that your horse doesn’t like you cleaning certain parts of its body, and if you insist on doing so, you may risk reducing the bond you have with it, in addition to increasing its temper. You wouldn’t want to (attempt) to ride an angry horse, trust me.
To put it simply, Equestriad World Tour is exactly what a horse game should be! The game puts a lot of focus on horse care and on events, ensuring a nice balance between the well-being of your horse and your need to become the best equestrian there is! The game is still new though and although some players might be disappointed with the limited selection of horses available or that they could only own up to 2 horses, know that more is likely to come.
Howrse
Howrse is a text-and-graphics-based horse game by Ubisoft. The game has been on the internet since 2005 and is still going strong despite the emergence of graphically better horse games like Star Stable, Horse Haven Adventures and others. Unlike other horse games, Howrse focuses more on the management aspect of owning a horse ranch, requiring you to have good organization skills as you make sure your horses are all well-taken care of and trained. The game also has a competitive edge, allowing you to send your best horses out for challenging races. There are plenty of beautiful horses and ponies you can raise, as well as other fun features like horse breeding and trading too. You can even set up your own equestrian center and join up with a team so you'll have some company while playing the game.Howrse may not look like much on the outside, but once you've gotten into the game, you'll start to realize what a gem this game is. The depth of the gameplay is simply amazing for a text-based game, and of course, there's the irrefutable joy that this game has brought to horse and pony lovers worldwide for more than a decade! If it hasn't already, Howrse should definitely be deemed a horse game classic.
