This game deserves more attention. It's fantastic and unusually polished for such a small team. Super fun and accessible combat, and of course the character designs are awesome.
@@UltimateCarl It is really neat, that's the advantage of having only 6 characters, to have such attention to detail like that. It would be really demanding doing this system on a game that has more than 15-20 characters though (doing 15-20 different variations in every single stage).
UltimateCarl Uh, aren’t you forgetting about Killer Instinct (2013)? That fighter practically SLAYS in the dynamic OST department, thanks in heavy contribution to Mick freakin’ GORDON (Doom, Wolfenstein), and also Celldweller and Atlas Plug as well
@@ruanulisses6650 yes, as they said it got a strike for intelectual prophercy rights, so Mane6 have to remake the 6 main characters and Lauren Faust offers her hand
Even if cartoon quadrupeds aren't somebody's thing, I'd hope most people can at least appreciate how well-drawn and animated all of the characters are.
I feel like with a game about unicorns and pegasusususes fighting, there'd be a lot more flash. Like larger sparks on contact and rainbows for no reason
Nope. The Z-Engine is infamously un-moddable and even then, the developers will not allow said mods to go through, because Hasbro could invoke the C&D.
Nope, this is a seperate property that is made by the same development team that was C&D'ed by hasbro. The charicter design was done by Lauren Faust as she had no longer was with hasbro at the time.
It is only available on Steam. Console release is something they'll look into doing once the game is out of Early Access (which is as soon as next month) and sees some more sales and probably character releases. Don't expect it anytime soon.
It used to be an MLP fighting game but Hasbro threw it in the trash because it wasn't from them lol Then Lauren Faust, creator of MLP, made new designs and story based on the Mane 6 and gave it to the developers so now they're good bc now it's original lol
This game reminds me of Killer Instinct - when it was first released for the Xbox One in 2013, there were only 6 characters at launch (originally supposed to be 8) and limited content: no Arcade mode, Online Lobbies, etc. But in time, despite console exclusivity and its initial developer (Double Helix) leaving after Season 1, it grew into a beautiful, acclaimed fighter with a free-to-play system that WORKS, a damn good Online netcode of any modern fighter to date, community support, and an overall complete packaged product in under 4 years of further development. And now look where it’s at: headlining EVO Online along with TFH, Skullgirls, and MK11, and leaving Japanese fighters like Smash (SMASH!!) in the dust. That’s a hell of an accomplishment in of itself. In other words, I expect Herds to follow in the same footsteps as KI 2013 did, and grow in its own way. Not to mention, this game runs on the same engine Skullgirls uses, which recently got updated (for an 8 year old fighter, no less!) with further improvements to its netcode, a “Super GGPO” if you will. With both Mane6 and Lab Zero being friendly with each other, it’s only a matter of time until Herds is updated with “Super GGPO” as well. Trust me, this game will continue to get better from here, I can feel it in my bones. Next-gen is gonna be a new dawn for this game.
@@williamcolon4070😢Bad News, the team dev was desmissed just resigned (or was fired) on his own, now there are only 2 dev, very sad. *Note Dezember 2023*
I don't care if it's because they're hastily-scribbed redesigns of the Mane Six - six characters in a fighting game is pathetic. Even Skullgirls launched with eight. The art design is wildly inconsistent. Paprika doesn't look like she belongs in the same game as the rest of them. (She actually looks like she was designed by John K.) The music is awful, too. In short, I kind of wish this one had died with the C&D.
Uh, KI 2013 launched with six characters (originally supposed to be eight), and look where it is now - AMONG THE BEST (in the World) Don’t judge a fighter based on its low roster, music, and art style (this game looks gorgeous BTW, courtesy of Lauren Faust, and getting her on the crew is no easy feat), and appreciate a fighter for what it is. Even games like MvCI and SF5 in spite of its faults have some positives in its gameplay. Hell, I’m still supporting under-appreciated fighters like TFH, Omen of Sorrow, Power Rangers BFTG, and Fighting EX Layer, and all I want from them is to grow into beautiful, complete fighters. Besides, even artists like Lauren can take inspiration from other creators sometimes, it’s called “Community”, and we can all learn a little about ourselves and others from time to time. In other words, appreciate a fighter for what it is, and don’t bash it, just offer constructive criticism. And if this game isn’t for you, then fine, there are other ones worth your time, so focus on them instead of this. But just allow a fighter the time, effort, and community support that it needs to GROW, and you’ll see, it’ll be worth it in the end.
So this whole comment was you being bitter basically lol The music is very dynamic, and not liking it is just preference. Same with the designs, I actually think all of them are unique in their own way, and matching them together just seems like the right thing. About the six characters, originally Fighting Is Magic had about twenty but they were scrapped along with the game when the C&D happened. But now, the artstyle is way more polished and brighter than it used to be in Fighting Is Magic (I kinda cringe now when I see the other artstyle that matched the show, it was so unpolished and looked weird in certain circumstances). And finally, Pixel Lobby looks like certain locations in the game and you can access it as your favorite character, so everything they don't have in fighting they have in inmersivity. Story Mode is coming with the 1.0 release, which actually will be released April 2nd (or around April in general, if delayed) The story mode will feature all locations of the story and Arizona as the protagonist. And then, there's also the Salt Mines challenge in the Lobby. I haven't got the chance to go there yet but so far it looks amazing.

The dynamic music alone is such an amazing system that I think literally every fighting game ever made from now on should incorporate.
Yeah, but unfortunally some people ignore what it's good about it only to focus on "how cringey it is".

MLP FIGHTING IS MAGIC: * Copyright striked *
THEMS FIGHTIN' HERDS: * Super original *
Are both of those made by the same people?
@@ruanulisses6650 yes, as they said it got a strike for intelectual prophercy rights, so Mane6 have to remake the 6 main characters and Lauren Faust offers her hand
Character designs by Lauren Faust.
Velvet is literally just Rarity as a doe
@@alastorcorvus Yep. It used to be MLP Fighting is Magic, but Hasbro's lawyers said no.
@@williamcrowe2576 intellectual prophercy, however Lauren Faust interested in helping Mane6 by making 6 (More to be added)
I'm not one for fighting games, but I'm a sucker for anything that uses hand-drawn graphics like this.
Even if cartoon quadrupeds aren't somebody's thing, I'd hope most people can at least appreciate how well-drawn and animated all of the characters are.
UltimateCarl I’m no Brony, but I strongly support any Indie fighter with GGPO and a potential for greatness (and crossplay :) )
Shutdown of their previous project was probably only for the better.
The MLP fighting game prototype?
It's funny because brony fandom is now basically dead.
shinobody CWC only made it worse, like everything he even remotely shows an interest in...
shinobody It's very much still alive. It's just lost some steam after the 9th season ended.
Yeah, I've been in and out for a while.
HASBRO's loss.
A new IP that the creator's (hopefully) have all the merchandising rights to.
I'll definitely buy the game and the soundtrack too.
With an eventual crossover with Freedom Planet and Mighty No.9. ;D
Twist ending: Hasbro buys the rights to produce a toy line and accompanying cartoon show.
I feel like with a game about unicorns and pegasusususes fighting, there'd be a lot more flash. Like larger sparks on contact and rainbows for no reason
At least this game is a beautiful visual child of MLP and Skullgirls put together :)
im just going through and looking at all of the free games i missed from epics days of xmas. this was one of them.
i was not disappointed haha. i love the concept 😸🐱
Looking great!!!
Oleander, the best one ;)
Pas mal et original ce jeu de Baston ! 😊
Awesomeness
イギーvsペットショップ戦かな？
Hehehe not bad Spazbo4.....
MLP mod for this is inevitable 🦄🌈
Nope. The Z-Engine is infamously un-moddable and even then, the developers will not allow said mods to go through, because Hasbro could invoke the C&D.
Cool

Wait what hasbro made that game of MLP
Nope, this is a seperate property that is made by the same development team that was C&D'ed by hasbro. The charicter design was done by Lauren Faust as she had no longer was with hasbro at the time.
Is this available on PlayStation 4?????
It is only available on Steam. Console release is something they'll look into doing once the game is out of Early Access (which is as soon as next month) and sees some more sales and probably character releases. Don't expect it anytime soon.
It's early access and HELLA indie, it's going to be a pc exclusive for a while
Wow 😆🤩🥰

Cool video i like it pleas more. p.s The charaktere look like from the tv series my litle pony
Thass kinda the point
It used to be an MLP fighting game but Hasbro threw it in the trash because it wasn't from them lol
Then Lauren Faust, creator of MLP, made new designs and story based on the Mane 6 and gave it to the developers so now they're good bc now it's original lol
I have this game
Oleander seems kinda umbalance
What do you mean by that? (Ollie is my main, so I wanna hear everything about her lol)
Hojala algun dia salga para mobil
The game is bare bones at the moment. No story, local multi, pretty annoying UI, and only 6 characters. I hope it gets better.
Same, I always hope any game will be the best it can be.

😢Well you did it! This game died in December 2023, with the dismissal of all the devs😢(I think there are only 2 or 3 left)
Holy crap this game is very cringey.
I disagree.
@@SuccubiPie ok
@Sejez Ready for orbital bombardment.
blame/thank the bronies for that
I think it looks competently made.
