Press Quotes

“Them's Fightin' Herds is an exceptional fighting game by any measure, only held back by its tiny roster of six characters.” 8/10 – IGN “With fluid gameplay, gorgeous visuals, and an incredibly inventive story mode, there's a lot to love in this unique fighting game.” 8/10 – TheSixthAxis “TFH is really smart about how it teaches you ideas in general. The game is full of great ideas, executed very well.” Stephen 'Sajam' Lyon
