Them's Fightin' Herds keeps its focus on original champions like Arizona and Oleander in a classic fantasy quest to defeat predators, with zero identity politics or social messaging. The result is clean, entertainment-first gameplay that earns a low 1/10 woke score.
Them's Fightin' Herds is a straightforward 2D fighting game centered on original anthropomorphic ungulate characters—such as Arizona the cow champion of the Prairie, Velvet the reindeer from Reine City, Paprika the alpaca from the Highlands, Oleander the unicorn with her demon companion Fred, Pom the sheep with her dogs, and Tianhuo the longma Imperial Guard captain—designed by Lauren Faust for a traditional fantasy quest narrative.
The episodic story mode follows these champions competing to claim the Prophet's Key and repel returning predators in the land of Fœnum, with gameplay focused on combos, magic systems, and boss fights; no romance mechanics, identity exploration, or social commentary appear in plot summaries or character bios. All characters are entirely new creations with no source-material alterations or forced identity elements, allowing the hero's-journey premise of tribal champions seeking an artifact to defeat predators to remain unburdened by identity politics or systemic-oppression framing. Developers have issued no statements endorsing DEI mandates, activist consultancy, or pronoun features, keeping the emphasis squarely on combat mechanics and exploration rather than messaging. This clean separation produces a light, entertainment-first experience that avoids the thematic intrusions common in other titles.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
