Take a look at my name and my byline. If anyone could write a review on Mane6 and Modus Games’ Them’s Fightin’ Herds, it is me. Them’s Fightin’ Herds features seven unique and intricately designed quadruped characters to choose from in this 2D-fighter.
Additionally, the game includes an episodic story mode akin to old pixel RPGs. The random, turn-based encounters from Final Fantasy have been replaced with side-scrolling 2D battles similar to Street Fighter. Despite being unfinished, Them’s Fightin’ Herds has the makings of a masterpiece.
Key Takeaways
-
Stunning visuals keep players entertained.
-
A quadruped character will be added later.
-
There will be a staggered, episodic release, so it’s not quite finished.
-
There are moments when the in-game tutorials could be improved.
Final Score: 8/10
