What players say
This game is garbage, I cannot forgive whoever made it. The gameplay is boring and cruel. You need to train 40 level 2s to train 20 level 3s to train 10 level 4s to finally train 5 level 5s and thats not mentioning the level 1s you need at first. Also, one of my level 5s was bugged and couldn't be sent to get a magic crystal despite being a completely unique horse and having higher stats than my other level 5s, so...
