Mewgenics

"While not a true successor, Mewgenics carries The Binding of Isaac’s roguelike spirit through its sharp cat-based tactics, dense content, and clear devotion to McMillen’s ideal vision. It’s pricey, brutally slow, and unapologetically harsh, but its addictive music, bizarre systems, …"

"Mewgenics is an incredibly ambitious project for a small development team. Fortunately, it more than delivers. This is a must-buy for roguelite fans."

"A grotesquely brilliant odyssey of feline eugenics, Mewgenics pairs deep DNA-driven mechanics with biting wit. While the cluttered UI is messier than an untended litter box and the difficulty spikes can be punishing, its addictive tactical loop proves that McMillen’s …"

""The gross-out humor and whacky build interactions that have been a key part of McMillen&s;s work for decades don&s;t distract""

"Mewgenics may as well be Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel&s;s magnum opus. It&s;s an insanely deep, tactical strategy game with addicting breeding mechanics, and a mind-boggling amount of roguelite-variety and content to play. I&s;m over 100 hours in, and I …"

"Mewgenics took me completely by surprise. Despite my great fondness for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, I didn&s;t follow McMillen&s;s subsequent projects closely. However, when I accidentally found out about this game just a month before its release and saw …"

""Mewgenics is a superb turn-based spiritual successor to The Binding of Issac, offering Ed McMillen&s;s signature brand of crude chaos and roguelike excellence. Combat, presentation, and kitty gene splicing all come together to create one of the most engaging and …"

"Like a sharp set of kitty claws, Mewgenics perfectly scratches the itch of ‘just one more round’ with an intriguing level of strategic depth, but one that never feels overwhelming. The randomised nature of things means it’s the kind of …"

"Mewgenics is a fantastic tactical RPG that&s;s good for more than a hundred hours of roguelike runs. Just when you think you have it figured out it&s;ll throw something completely unexpected and hilariously gross at you – and probably a …"

"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 know how sometimes you see stray cats with their noses and mouths all crusted over with snot? If you’re the kind of person who can’t handle looking at cats like that, STAY AWAY from this game. But if you’re …"

"I think Mewgenics is ultimately the magnum opus of what I value in video games. It’s a near infinite sandbox of skillful strategy and tactics, blended with an immense amount of gameplay that is highly replayable. Mewgenics is a game …"

"It’s all about slowly learning the ins and outs of its systems as you play. Whether you’re sitting down for a single run or locking in for a longer session, optimizing your play style while uncovering new synergistic combos through …"

"A killer soundtrack and interesting game mechanics make Mewgenics worth the price of entry, but it overstays its welcome."

"Mewgenics is for people who like systems rubbing against each other until sparks fly, who enjoy tactics that reward lateral thinking, and who can stomach a lot of bodily humor."

"Mewgenics is a deep, weird, and endlessly rewarding tactics roguelike. If you enjoy complex systems, emotional progression, and dark humor, it is worth every hour. Skip it only if you cannot tolerate its tone."

"Mewgenics is a game that embraces chaos, randomness, and failure as central elements of its experience. It rewards players not for perfect optimization, but for skillfully managing uncertainty. Its grotesque aesthetic and challenging mechanics reflect the vision of its creator: …"

"Mewgenics is simply one of the best strategic role-playing games ever made. Built on a solid roguelite foundation, it blends deep turn-based combat with a complex dynasty management system. Topped off with an ironic and hilarious style, it is already …"

"Even though it may seem very complex, it’s easy to grasp and offers a unique experience where the fun factor grows by the second, just like your cats."

"There’s probably going to be weeks, if not months, of fans running numbers, dissecting builds and figuring out the best way to succeed, and that will be exciting to unpack…once it’s done. In the meantime, dedicated players who really enjoy …"

"Mewgenics offers more depth and ingenuity than any strategy game I&s;ve played in years. It is also terminally unfunny, with an aesthetic, theme, and cast of characters that consistently miss the mark. If you can square yourself with the humor, …"

"Mewgenics offers an experience that can last dozens—if not hundreds—of hours without losing its sense of surprise or challenge. If you waited over a decade for Mewgenics, your patience has paid off."

"A sprawling, ridiculous, and endlessly surprising roguelike that will drag you body and soul into its chaotic world."

"Mewgenics is a ridiculously fun strategy game that everyone who likes McMillen and Glaiel, strategy game fans, and cat-fight fans should play the same way. It celebrates self-made stuff, teaches emergent gameplay, and most importantly, combines chaos, humor, and strategy …"

"As grotesque as it is entertaining, Mewgenics successfully layers a dose of madness and variety onto an otherwise conventional tactical roguelike, making it unique and remarkably long‑lasting."

"Mewgenics has so much that its sluggish meta-progression feels designed to get you to see as much of it as possible, albeit at the cost of satisfying pacing. Even when you’re technically earning something new on each new run, the …"

"A standout title that successfully balances both roguelike elements and SRPG depth. Its rough-edged visuals, offbeat black humor, and somewhat predictable early turn-based exchanges may pose an initial hurdle. Push past that, however, and you’ll find a rich playground of …"

"Mewgenics is a real-time strategy game with RPG elements that has players assume the role of an unnamed lab assistant to an eccentric mad scientist, tasked with procuring cats for all manner of weird shenanigans."
