5 Best Upcoming Fighting Games of 2019
Them’s Fightin’ Herds
For those that are put off by the My Little Pony art style and fandom, Them’s Fighting’ Herds probably isn’t a title that’s up your alley. For everyone else, it’s a title that is well worth taking a look at.
Currently available in early access, the game pits players against one another as a variety of different four-legged fighters. Some like Tianhuo and Oleander are inspired by mythical animals, while those like Arizona and Pom are based on farm variety critters.
Each combatant’s move sets reflect their inspirations as well. Whereas Oleander can bombard opponents with attacks utilizing dark magic and otherworldly monstrosities, Pom brings in a variety of herding dogs to rend, tackle and bowl over her enemies.
As such, each character sets themselves apart both in their design and abilities, fleshing out an otherwise limited roster with plenty of flavor and variety.
Though it still doesn’t have a firm release date outside of its 2019 release window, there’s plenty of reason to keep on eye out for news on it and to hope this fighter comes out sooner rather than later.
