Them's Fightin' Herds is an 2D indie fighting side-scrolling game that features a cast of all-female ungulate characters fighting each other to find a champion worthy of gaining a magical key that will protect their world from Predators.
Below is a collection of hints and tips that will help you to progress in the game. These include why you should take on Combo Trials and why it is important that you know how to Pushblock.
Them's Fightin' Herds has a Training mode which you should take advantage of to improve your execution and tighten up your gameplay for when you go online. Training mode has several features available which will allow you to see things, these include hitboxes on attacks and how your opponent will react to your attacks in specific situations. It is worthwhile spending time in Training mode as it will give you all the information you need to flesh out your attack routes and options.
The combos that you find within the Combo Trials menu are broken up into three parts - Beginner, Intermediate, and Master. It is worthwhile tackling every Beginner and Intermediate Combo Trial for your character, as doing so will teach you basic, optimal combos that you can execute in-game with little to no setup.
It is essential in Them's Fightin' Herds that you know how to Pushblock. A Pushblock is a maneuver that your character can perform when you press two attack buttons on your controller that will push your opponent backward when they are attacking and can result in giving you the space needed to get away from a corner or escape a long attack string. A Pushblock that is timed correctly can also make your opponent whiff their attack allowing you to follow up with your own attack.
Them's Fightin' Herds is not just a fighting game, it also has a Story mode you can play which is something you should do as it will help you to understand your character more. When you play Story mode you will experience a fun plot which comes complete with boss encounters where you can try executing basic combos or attack strings.
Playing online is the best way to increase your knowledge of Them's Fightin' Herds so that you get the experience needed to grow. If you are new to the game and go into each online match with the mindset that you are trying to learn and not dominate your opponent you will walk away from the match with the information that you desire. If you find playing online intimidating you should stick to playing Story mode or experimenting in Training mode until you feel ready.
