Critic Reviews for Mewgenics
A sprawling, ridiculous, and endlessly surprising roguelike that will drag you body and soul into its chaotic world.
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.
"The gross-out humor and whacky build interactions that have been a key part of McMillen's work for decades don't distract"
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.
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 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.
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.
This mischievous roguelike escapade featuring utterly fiendish felines is compelling, and impressively tasteless
