“Them’s Fightin’ Herds” trailer and release date out!
Mane6, the group which is working on a My Little Pony-inspired 2D fighting game called MLP: Fighting is Magic got slammed by Hasbro (owner of the My Little Pony property) with a cease and desist order on the developing game.
Instead of cancelling the project, the team came back, raising $600,000 on IndieGoGo for a new game called Them’s Fightin’ Herds. A huge accomplishment, which allowed them to release this trailer:
Them’s Fightin’ Herds is finally scheduled for release on Windows PC, February 22.
