In this day and age with the large AAA game budgets, you'd never expect a team of just two developers to come out with a GOTY-contending indie title.

Mewgenics | Review | After a long wait, Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel's new roguelite has arrived, and it's already a pop phenomenon.

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

In the end, Mewgenics stands as a confident, content-rich tactical roguelite that rewards curiosity, patience, and perseverance. Its deep combat, endless variety, distinctive visuals, unforgettable soundtrack, and unapologetic humor combine into a game that feels uniquely itself. It won’t be for everyone, but for those willing to meet it on its own terms, 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.

9/10

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.

Mewgenics is difficult to assess; it executes some ideas incredibly well, while others are clumsy and grating. I adore its combat, which makes for excellent roguelike gameplay and has been well worth my extensive playtime. Simultaneously, the game's humor and breeding mechanics have really brought my opinion down over time, as both elements have gotten old as my playthrough went on. Even so, the combat and breeding are two distinct parts of the game, and the former takes up so much playtime t...

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.

A grotesquely brilliant odyssey of feline eugenics, Mewgenics pairs deep DNA-driven mechanics with biting wit.

Edmund McMillen has stolen weeks of my life, and I have let him. From the PC to my ill fated times on 3DS and iOS, and now my almost daily driver of the Switch, I have continued to play The Binding of Isaac for more than a decade, and I’m no closer to being finished than I was the first time I defeated Hush. For all the critique you can levy against the crass nature of the art and the perpetual nerfing that occurs (though Glass Cannon was really well rebalanced), the game has a nearly perfe...

Mewgenics is the very highlight of what the rogue-lite genre can be while surpassing the games that got me into the tactics genre in the first place, such as Final Fantasy Tactics, and it does so by nearly every metric. It’s mind blowing to realize that I only paid $30 for it. Less than half the price of a AAA game that wouldn’t last me a fraction of the time.
