## About Mewgenics

Mewgenics is a strategy RPG from Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, releasing in 2026 at $29.99. The game tasks players with breeding and customizing cats across generations to build an army suited for turn-based tactical encounters. Rogue-lite progression structures each run while class customization and genetic manipulation let players shape their feline squads over time. Reviewers describe the tone as dark and whimsical, and highlight design choices like permanent character death and attacks that never miss as hooks that keep sessions engaging. Players also note the absence of experience-point grinding as a structural departure from the genre norm. The game carries a Steam Deck Verified designation and holds a 92% positive rating from over 25,600 Steam reviews, with a Metacritic score of 88.
