Them’s Fightin’ Herds (v6.0.0 & 7 DLCS)

Them’s Fightin’ Herds is a vibrant 2D fighting game that brings together a charming cast of animal characters created by renowned cartoonist Lauren Faust. While its art style is undeniably cute, the gameplay offers a deep and engaging fighting experience built around streamlined four-button controls, a unique magic system, and an enhanced super attack mechanic. The combat balances accessibility and depth, featuring juggle decay to keep matches fair and prevent infinite combos, making it appealing to both newcomers and seasoned fighting game fans. The game offers a rich Story Mode presented in episodic chapters, beginning with Chapter 1 starring the character Arizona. This mode combines exploration, combat challenges, minigames, and intense boss battles, with future chapters planned as free updates. Players can also jump into local versus matches or test their skills online through crossplay matchmaking powered by GGPO’s rollback netcode for smooth, responsive gameplay. For those looking to improve, the game includes tutorial and training modes, complete with combo trials, detailed practice options, and match replays. Beyond the fights, players can enjoy the Pixel Lobby, a top-down social hub where they can customize avatars, unlock accessories, and interact with others online. The dynamic music system adds another layer of excitement, adapting the soundtrack to the characters in battle and enhancing the overall atmosphere of each fight.
