gaming Them's Fighting Herds - Who's excited?

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

For those of you who don't know, the Mane Six (People behind Fighting is Magic prior to Hasbro's C&D) got together with Lauren Faust to make a spiritual successor. The new game features 6-7 playable characters, a story, a interactive lobby, and much more that's all on their inddiegogo. Here's the link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/them-s-fightin-herds#/story

 

Here's to hoping they make that goal because I'm excited. Are you guys? I really liked Fighting is Magic, and with the funding and time their planning to put into it this looks like it's gunna be great. I hope it pans out.

Not to call doom and gloom, but i fear this game is gonna flop, because of 3 reasons.

 

1. It's a fighting game. If you want to publish a fighting game, you should seriously aim at Console gamers, because not every PC gamer wants to buy a controller and rather play stuff with their Keyboards.

 

2. The game will cost 40$ and only has 6 or 7 characters. Street Fighter 2 in 1991 had 8 characters in the Arcades and these days, we have fighting games that have 40 or 50 unique characters, so this game dosen't have alot of variety.

 

3. Only Bronies will care about it and that's not really all bronies, because of the simple fact "it dosen't have ponies in it." And Bronies who do buy it, are just buying it, because it's the closest thing they get to "Fighting is Magic."

 

Maybe i am wrong. Maybe it will be a huge success. But i simply don't see it.

I don't know if I'm really excited but I'm sure interested.

I'm not into fighting games that much but I'm willing to give this game a try.

I'm curious of the game would reach 100% of it's goal.

Was there also a funding perk that would allow you to create a new playable character for the game? That could help with getting more character options in the game.
