Them's Fightin Herds - INSTANT

I bought this game. I play this game. This game is awesome! It was the sleeper game in the January 2020 monthly Choice release and now everyone has figured out how great it is. It also hit it's 1.0 release. It almost never happened because it was too similar to My Little Pony, but they got it done. Highest recommendation!

Them’s Fightin’ Herds is an indie fighting game featuring a cast of adorable animals designed by acclaimed cartoon producer Lauren Faust. Beneath the cute and cuddly surface, a serious fighter awaits!
