The dungeon hides away some of the game's most extravagant and ridiculous vanity items, while also containing even more combat chests that players can fight over. Everyone on the server who qualifies can enter a special dungeon, where they'll take on hordes of AI-controlled fighters. Once you've won enough combat chest battles, you'll unlock a dungeon crawler mini-game. You'll get a cosmetic item just for participation (so don't worry if you lose), but winning a combat chest fight has the chance to reward an item that's more rare / of a higher value.
The chest takes 10 seconds to open, and other players can use that window to challenge the would-be opener for the goods inside. When at least two players occupy the same server, a combat chest will spawn in at a random location on the map. It also incentivises players to battle and stay engaged through 'combat chests'. Presented as a pixelated world with a top-down view, Them's Fightin' Herds' lobby is more reminiscent of an old-school RPG or Zelda game than a waiting room for your next fight. The lobby itself isn't just for waiting around though, and in fact Them's Fightin' Herds is making its system more interesting and involved than many of its AAA competitors. If you own Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator 2, BlazBlue Centralfiction, or Skullgirls 2nd Encore (other 2D fighting games with dedicated communities), you'll unlock unique cosmetic items for use in Them's Fightin' Herds' lobby. In turn, Humble Publishing has reached out to other fighting game developers, bringing a little bit of their worlds into Them's Fightin' Herds. Yep, the digital storefront where games get collected into pay-what-you-want bundles to help support various charities now has a publishing arm. To help get the game into more people's hands, Mane6 has partnered with Humble Publishing, a division of Humble Bundle created in February 2017. This doesn't prevent the game from being good (the world will find that out when Them's Fightin' Herds comes to PC, Mac, and Linux on February 22) but it does present another hurdle to mainstream adoption. Them's Fightin' Herds will also only have six playable characters at launch, far fewer than many fighting games of the modern era. Even with Faust's involvement, Mane6 is only a handful of people, many of whom lack a history of game development. Looks alone will only get you so far, though.
