Mewgenics deserves all its praise and more, delivering a solid monster-rancher premise with strong roguelike gameplay and packaging it all with incredible humor that only the creative minds behind Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac could pull off. You couldn’t swing a cat around in this game without smashing it into something awesome.

Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel have delivered a simply outstanding roguelike, an adventure that unabashedly aims to seize the absolute pinnacle of the genre. Over 200 hours of core content, more than 100 bosses, upwards of 200 enemy types, more than 1,200 abilities, and 1,000 pieces of equipment: these are the cold numbers behind Mewgenics, but a boiling blood runs through its veins. By embracing the turn-based tactical RPG formula and distilling an explosive blend of cats and genetics, the authors have crafted a video game of extraordinary depth—a journey that leaves you slack-jawed almost entirely on the strength of its mechanics and pure game design, further elevated by irreverent writing and a completely unhinged soundtrack. There isn’t much else to add, because it is practically the Holy Grail for any fan of tactical RPGs and roguelikes: approach with caution, as it demands a considerable time investment and shows very little concern about kicking you squarely in the ass.

This is the best indie game I've ever played. Better than Hades, balatro, undertale, vampire survivors etc. You have to omit exhibition 33 from that category though.

Edmund does it again. Instantly shot up to my top 5 games. I played Mewgenics obsessively for a few months after it came out. I couldn't stop, and for good reason. Everything is incredible. The soundtrack is a genuine banger which I will listen to on a daily basis. The humor is on point. The progression is great, introducing genuinely fun new classes, mechanics, items and challenges. If you're a fan of roguelites, play this. If you like tactical RPGs, play this. If you enjoy having fun, play this. Hell, even if you're none of those things, play this and you will probably become at least one of them. Just play it.

Mewgenics is a turn-based roguelite that blends deep tactical gameplay with unapologetic dark humor. The action order is individual and dynamic, determined by stats and modifiers, while cats have no fixed classes: collars define their role, abilities, and progression, with upgrades chosen from random pools. Each feline can take part in only one run, making breeding and partial skill inheritance central mechanics. A competitive AI, full permadeath, and numerous random events ensure constant variety, balancing strict strategy with genetic unpredictability.

Mewgenics is satisfying, and I think the development team isn’t exaggerating when they say the campaign can last over 200 hours. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.

Mewgenics is a surprisingly deep and unforgiving game with a strong tactical combat system, a massive amount of content, and a highly addictive gameplay loop. Its heavy reliance on RNG and repetition can be frustrating at times, but it rarely lets go of you. For players who enjoy complex systems, tough decisions, and pitch-black humor, this one is absolutely worth diving into.

The style, writing, and visuals are pure McMillen and if you've been hankering for more of that gritty and sometimes puerile 2010s humour from The Binding of Isaac, Mewgenics delivers in spades.

Mewgenics is a truly enormous game jam-packed with secrets and synergies, surprising and rewarding even when its pacing frustrates.

It’s fine but the runs take too long and the upgrade system is not really fun or rewarding. I’ll come back after patches maybe.

It doesn't show anything new for the genre itself, it was fun for a few hours but after seeing that most of my runs were basically the same ı quicly got bored out of it, as ı am not really a fun of roguelike games **** cat breeding part was nothing like ı expected, it stays too shallow and random, it wasn't something ı was excited to do let's say. It also has the worst part of any roguelike game ı play, ''RNG'' for no goddamn reason, just to make the game longer.I want my skills and strategy to be put on a test not my luck.I don't want to wait for the right cat and items, or having to work for that to happen, because it is simply not fun. I am not here to gamble, this is a turn-based **** is cute though.

Sinceramente, Mewgenics simplemente no ha funcionado para mi. No es nada concreto que haga mal, si miras pieza por pieza es más o menos correcto, simplemente el conjunto no acaba siendo divertido. Uno de los problemas es el sistema para conseguir nuevos gatos y cómo se pasan los traits al reproducirse, así como las mecánicas de avance al enviarlos a gente. No es divertido. Límites de inventario tampoco ayudan. Las batallas al principio son divertidas pero en general luego se acaban volviendo demasiado repetitivas. Gráficamente el juego es extremadamente pobre, entiendo que es el estilo del desarrollador pero eso no quita que todo tiene un look demasiado meh. Las animaciones son particularmente pobres. El sonido tampoco está a la altura, con mala música y pobres efectos sonoros. Al menos, eso sí, a mi me ha funcionado perfectamente y no he encontrado ningún bug en mi **** resultado es un juego que yo quería que me gustase y tenía todo para hacerlo sobre el papel pero, en la realidad, rápidamente se volvió monótono y tedioso. Un 4.

game is to hard and unforgiving for how goofy it is. it feels like there no point risking your cats on hour long runs for nothing there's nothing in place to help out on runs that turn bad as you might as well just kill your self then waste a hour slogging through a unfun run just to die at a dumb ass boss fight that can get 50 moves over and over. its just not worth the time or effort
