Jan. 2025

Shakey 8/10. The game itself, for what's left of mane6's original vision, is amazing. Perfect, even. However the publisher, Maximum Entertainment, outright murdered the game by firing almost the entire Dev team and taking most of the profits that the Devs were using to make the single player story mode. The last character added(who is going to be the absolute last character added as there's only like 3 developers working on this game after the layoffs) uses mostly reused sprites from a different character that have been creatively recolored and repurposed to make Baihe play differently from Tianhuo. That in it of itself isn't bad, as it's just a consequence of there being close to no developers on the game anymore. They are scrunched enough as it is just trying to keep the servers alive, keep balance in the roster relatively even, and fix bugs. And I stress this so much that I need to repeat: THERE ARE ONLY THREE DEVELOPERS WORKING ON THIS GAME RIGHT NOW. I stress that because those three devs are doing an amazing job for the team that they have, but it's clearly not enough to keep the game afloat. And sadly, due to the lack of developers, a lot of people who backed this game on kickstarter will never get the single player story content that they specifically paid for. Not so much as an arcade mode with text at the bottom of the screen that gives the story of each character. As such, I can recommend this game, for what it is, but just know that this game is mostly abandoned, minus the few developers left that try their damnedest to keep the game running.

Oct. 2024

Despite the game's current condition, It's still a pretty cool game. Easy to learn controls as well.

July 2024

It's unfortunate that this game will never be able to develop into what it could be because of the publisher's actions. Corporate greed was the cause to drop the the developers of this game which leaves TFH rotting here as a husk with a dead online landscape, busted and incomplete DLC characters, and a story mode that will never be finished. A shame really, TFH in my eyes would be one of the perfect fighting games for newbies to get to dip their feet into the community. It had great mechanics, the stock characters were vibrant and quirky and each had their own archetype that fits in the fighting game scene. Excluding what the publishers have done, I do recommend the game at least. Now, It just stands here as one of the many victims of greed. A walking corpse. May you rest in peace.

July 2024

Them' Fightin Herds is/was a very special fighting game that I've ever played and I'm super casual at fighting games, I loved the whole background and struggle that original team went through; even getting help from Lauren Faust in designing the characters and the story mode concept was original and funny. The original 6 characters are amazing, but Stronghoof edges it out for me but it was very unfortunate learning of what happened to the original developer team by Maximum Entertainment and the disgusting practice they brought into this game and ruined the hard work of Mane6. Mane6- all team, if you're reading this. Keep pegasister and bronying on! I'm recommending this to support the original team's future employment but don't recommend Maximum Entertainment. All good things must come to an end at some point, don't cry but smile because it happened. It is my hope that someone else would purchase this game and put it back in esports at some point in the future.

Feb. 2024

EDIT: Review switched to recommended for the sake of the original developers, Mane6, not being penalized in searching for future employment. Do not buy this game in its current state regardless. I would love to recommend this game to others, but I can't in good conscience. Maximum Entertainment, the company that purchased TFH a few years back, laid off nearly the entirety of Mane6, the developers who brought this game to life. Furthermore, they did so in the middle of a season pass, leaving the final 2 characters added to the game buggy and broken. Do not purchase this game. Do not purchase anything from Maximum Games, including the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender fighting game. Do not support a publisher that favors hiring fucking Mike Zaimont over keeping a passionate and excellent team of developers on board for one of the best fighting games ever made. Find another way to play it if you're interested. Maximum Entertainment deserves nothing but bankruptcy for what they've done to TFH and other past titles.
