Instead of the horse game genre staple “hoof picking mini game”, Star Stable Online keeps its daily horse care mechanics to an absolute minimum with the interaction itself boiling down to clicking and dragging the relevant item (food, water, brush or hoof pick) onto your horse and the game taking care of the rest. There is even a quest line where you can get Spirit, from Netflix and DreamWorks’ animated series Spirit - Riding Free (which of course is nowhere near as good as the 2002 movie, but hey at least you can get a buckskin mustang in this game so who am I to complain). A tour around Jorvik Island quickly exposes you to ponies and horses in all sorts of shapes and colors, all three-dimensional and in many cases individually animated. Speaking of horse variety: A lot of the models and coat colors are cute as hell. I guess one could say that getting a glimpse at the variety of available horses is an advantage, but then there’s… this: What you do get is other players and their horses popping in and out of the environment without colliding with you or each other, which I personally just don’t see a lot of value in. Apart from the possibility to join groups of riders, there seems to be no interaction between players. These simple walk-and-fetch quests are short enough not to become grindy and tedious, but they are also rarely interesting and don’t offer any challenge.īeing the grumpy offline player that I am, I also don’t really see any advantage in there being other people in the game. The quality problem lies in the mechanics, and as far as I know this is a common issue in MMORPGs: from what I’ve seen, your actual tasks boil down to “go to destination X” and “pick up five of item Y”. The writing is nothing special, but mostly cute: your are helping with repairs around the stable, setting up obstacles for upcoming races, helping a family bury their internal feuding, and of course saving the stable from becoming a construction site because of a greedy businessman. You learn how to take care of your horse, how to participate in races around the stables and how to earn Jorvik Shillings, the free in-game currency. The map is quite sizeable, and after a few hours of playing I have only explored a tiny part of it. There are lots of games where you can only choose male characters and we want to show that girls can also be heroes.”Īfter a few introductory quests, you can roam freely around the central Moorland Stables and surrounding fields, with the whole island opening up to you over time as you unlock new areas. A section on the game’s help page addresses this choice by stating “Star Stable is a game with a focus on female heroines, but that doesn't mean that boys can't play Star Stable. Unlike many other horse games, SSO does not let you choose the gender of your player character. The story trailer and opening lore crawl speak of a prophecy according to which a girl on horseback will appear “to bring light and hope to those who believe that all is lost” and asks “Are you that girl?”.
