Faust designed the new characters for Them's Fightin' Herds, leaving the team free to focus on the fighting mechanics and extras like the Visual Pixel Lobby. Fans rallied to back the project and Mane 6 was even contacted by Lauren Faust, a well-known cartoon producer who created the concept for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Mane 6 wasn't finished, as they took the assets and started a new, original game, Them's Fightin' Herds. This attention worked against Mane 6, however, as they received a Cease and Desist notice from Hasbro, owners of the property. Fighting Is Magic, as it was called, started to gain attention not only from My Little Pony fans but from the greater fighting game community as well. The development team, Mane 6, started by making a fighting game using the characters from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic as a fun fan project. Them's Fightin's Herds had quite the journey to make it to its release. Just like any 2D fighter worth its salt, the game has complex combos, flashy special moves, and plenty of opportunities to juggle a foe. Since the summer of 2011 a small group of fans calling themselves Mane6 have been toiling away at a fighting game based on the cartoon My Little. But that doesn't mean that the fights themselves are tame. Instead of battling on the mean streets, these animals take the fight to enchanted forests and pristine winter wonderlands. Since it was originally developed as a My Little Pony homage, the game's characters and world take on a more cutesy appearance than most fighting games. But now it's back with all-new original characters and finally ready to kick some tail. The game, originally developed as a fan project starring My Little Pony characters, was almost cancelled when My Little Pony owner Hasbro threatened legal action against the game's creators.
This unique fighting game puts players in control of one of many quadrupedal combatants for fast-paced, highly animated 2D battles. After what seems like a lifetime of waiting, fans can finally saddle up for the launch of Them's Fightin' Herds, now on Steam Early Access.
