Christmas came early for fans of the popular "My Little Pony"-inspired platform fighter Them's Fightin' Herds. Indie game developer Mane6, on April 12, dropped its second downloadable content (DLC) for Them's Fightin' Herd. The bundle contains not only a new character but also a brand new stage as well.
Publisher Modus Games announced that players can now get their hands on Stronghoof the Reindeer. Stronghoof is the ninth character to join Them's Fightin' Herds. As a snow-loving ungulate, he possesses ice-based attacks, as developers described. Stronghoof also has a sidekick, a winter sprite named Vetr.
Players can get Stronghoof as a standalone item for £4.99. They may also have him by buying the game's Season 1 Pass. The current pass contains four additional characters, with Stronghoof being the second.
Aside from a new character, fans of Them's Fightin' Herds would also be delighted to know that the latest DLC contains a new stage called the Reine Ramparts.
Them's Fightin' Herds was first launched for PC in 2020. The then nine-member team of Mane6 teamed up with renowned animator and writer Lauren Faust to develop the game's character designs.
In 2021, developers ported it to Linux and macOS. But due to the game's popularity, Mane6 expanded it further to include consoles.
As of October 2022, the game can be played on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
