Them’s Fightin’ Herds is a four-button, 2D fighting game featuring a cast of characters designed by Lauren Faust (producer and developer for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic; creator, director and developer for Super Best Friends Forever).  Beneath the cute and cuddly surface, a serious fighter awaits!

Tussle in Arcade and Local Versus Modes, practice in Tutorial and Training Modes, then dive into the game’s many online matchmaking features (with GGPO rollback netcode) to test yourself against players from around the world.

Or explore an episodic Story Mode that blends top-down adventure with fighting game combat challenges.

Once Them's Fightin' Herds, the current free game on the Epic Games Store, has run its course, it will be up to a yet-to-be-revealed mystery game, which will be gratis starting December 20 until December 21, 2022.
