Mewgenics is a delightfully unhinged tactical roguelike where you don’t just recruit heroes — you breed an ever-evolving army of bizarre, battle-ready cats. Each run throws your feline squad into punishing turn-based adventures filled with strange loot, chaotic abilities, and the kind of dark humor only Edmund McMillen could dream up. Victory isn’t about perfection, but about adaptation, experimentation, and surviving the madness one paw-step at a time. Every mission feels like a miniature war story written by genetics, luck, and questionable science.

Between battles, the game becomes a twisted life-sim laboratory, where new generations inherit strengths, mutations, and unpredictable quirks. Your “ultimate cat army” is never finished — it’s a living experiment that keeps growing stranger with every success and failure. The deeper you go, the more the game rewards clever planning while still embracing total chaos. It’s part strategy masterpiece, part roguelike obsession, and part fever dream about cats saving the world in the weirdest way possible. In Mewgenics, evolution is your weapon, and insanity is half the fun.

4/5

This mischievous roguelike escapade featuring utterly fiendish felines is compelling, and impressively tasteless

8/10

One of the most complex and rewarding strategy games of recent years, hidden behind a mask of weird humour, ugly visuals, and a lot of random number generation.

Mewgenics is a chaotic game that uses player agency for balance. Its seemingly endless number of skill, item, and character combos make for an unpredictable but overall fun game.

Mewgnics is a wonderful blend of unsettling comedy, topped off with impressively tight RPG gameplay. The irreverent charm, deep mechanics, and grotesque art style combine to create a memorable, distinctive, and pleasingly dark title, generous in its replayability and irreverence.

What McMillen, Glaiel, and co. pulled off is simply paw-some. It's catnip for roguelites in all its glory, as you keep going through runs and coming back for more.

"The gross-out humor and whacky build interactions that have been a key part of McMillen's work for decades don't distract"

Mewgenics is a fantastic tactical RPG that's good for more than a hundred hours of roguelike runs. Just when you think you have it figured out it'll throw something completely unexpected and hilariously gross at you – and probably a catchy new original song, too.

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