Them’s Fightin’ Herds: History, Gameplay, and Console Release
Them’s Fightin’ Herds is a 2D indie fighting game developed by Mane6 and published by Modus Games in February 2018. The game was originally conceived after Mane6 developed an unofficial fangame based on the My Little Pony franchise called Fighting is Magic, which featured various characters from the series and served as the bones of Them’s Fightin’ Herds during development.
As such, the characters were designed by series creator Lauren Faust, and the game has seen critical success on Steam. News of a consoles release was first teased back in March of this year, and preorders for all versions of the game are available now on the Maximum Games Store.
The game features streamlined combat that seamlessly implements 4-button fighting mechanics, a complex magic system, and juggles decay to prevent infinite combos, as well as seven different characters to select from.
Players can enjoy an episodic and engaging story mode adventure filled with exploration, challenging minigames, and intense boss battles and engage in local online crossplay matchmaking with rollback netcode capability.
There is also a tutorial and training mode, a pixel lobby showcasing various unlockable accessories and custom avatars, exploring a top-down visual lobby with other players online, and a dynamic Music System!
Players can likely expect more fun and intense battles when Them’s Fightin’ Herds arrives on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on October 18, 2022!
