Epic Games Store: March's second free game is a top-rated hit with online PvP mode

Epic Game Store is currently giving away an action-adventure title that generally goes for $19.99 when there's no sale. This giveaway will last for a week, ending on March 6 at UTC 16:00. After that, the storefront will be giving away a 2D indie title, Them's Fightin' Herds.

This upcoming free game on Epic Games Store puts players in the world of Fœnum, where they get to compete for a magical key. The game's story is based on this key, which is required to seal the carnivorous predators who are threatening Fœnum. There are a good number of characters who play their part in the story, each with their own motivations.

As for the core gameplay, the game has a streamlined four-button control scheme. Each of the characters has their own fighting style, and there's a combo system in place, which adds a strategic depth to the combat system. Besides the single-player mode, Them's Fightin' Herds has an online PvP mode with a rollback netcode for smooth gameplay.

Visual-wise, this upcoming free Epic Games Store game combines 2D animation with pixel art. The game's music system is dynamic, adapting to the characters in battle. Through that, it aims to offer intense fighting sessions.

Them's Fightin' Herds usually goes for $19.99 when there's no discount in place, and it has a "very positive" rating on Steam with over 3,200 player reviews. It will be available to claim for $0 from March 6 UTC 16:00 to March 13 UTC 16:00. You can learn more about the game from the video attached below.
