These fighting styles range from fast and aggressive, to slow and defensive, with all characters having a high emphasis on fighting with combos. Ĭurrently, there are six playable characters, with two more purchasable through DLC, all of which have their own unique fighting styles and moves. The game uses a four-button fighting system: a button each for light, medium, heavy, and magic attacks, and includes staple fighting game maneuvers such as launchers, pushblocking, and cross-ups. This game was made from various beta assets of the original which Mane6 developed in the first two years, and were later leaked by other parties. Development of the game was completed with crowdfunding through Indiegogo.Ī separate effort created by fans not associated with the Mane6 team released their Fighting Is Magic: Tribute Edition of the original Mane6 My Little Pony-inspired game in early 2014. The creator of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Lauren Faust, offered to help with designing the new characters for the game. After Hasbro sent Mane6 a cease and desist letter, Mane6 discarded the assets tied to the show, while keeping some of the fundamental gameplay factors to create the new title Them's Fightin' Herds. Early versions of this game were released in 2012, drawing attention from both players in the Evolution Championship Series due to the unique moves associated with non-bipedal characters in fighting games, as well as from Hasbro which owned the intellectual property to My Little Pony. Fighting Is Magic featured the six main pony characters from that show. Mane6 was a nine-man game development team and part of the adult fandom of the show. The project is a spiritual successor to Mane6's earlier, unreleased fighting game Fighting Is Magic, based on the animated television show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on October 18, 2022. First released into early access in February 2018, the full release was on Apfor Microsoft Windows, followed by Linux on Maand a beta macOS version was added on October 27, 2021. It features a cast of ungulate characters fighting each other to find a champion worthy of gaining a magical key that will protect their world from predators.
