A serious fighter under the cute coat
Them's Fightin' Herds is a 2D fighting game where adorable animals designed by Lauren Faust throw down. The combat runs on a 4-button layout with a magic system, enhanced super attacks, and juggle decay to keep infinite combos from taking over. It looks colorful and cartoonish, but the match-to-match play is built for people who want to learn a real fighting game.
Playing together
Fight your friends locally in versus mode, or take the fight online with crossplay matchmaking running on GGPO rollback netcode. Remote Play Together is supported as well. The Pixel Lobby gives your group a top-down space to hang out in, where you can unlock accessories and customize your avatar alongside other players online.
Before you start
There is a tutorial and training mode on hand: guided tutorials, combo trials, a data-rich training room for practicing combos, and replays of your matches to review afterward. Story Mode is an episodic adventure with exploration, combat challenges, minigames, and boss fights; Chapter 1 starring Arizona is available now, with further chapters coming as free updates. Battle music adapts to the characters in play, so the soundtrack shifts with each matchup.
