Taking a Break from the Horror? Try Mewgenics!
If you're reading this, you've probably spent countless hours running from horrific monsters in R.E.P.O. But even the bravest scavengers need a break to let their heart rate settle down.
If you're looking for a new obsession that trades jump scares for deep strategy, we highly recommend checking out Mewgenics, the new cat-themed strategic roguelike from Edmund McMillen (creator of The Binding of Isaac) and Tyler Glaiel.
What is Mewgenics?
Mewgenics is a unique blend of genetics, tactical combat, and home management. Instead of hoarding scrap, you're breeding cats! Each kitten inherits stats and abilities from its parents. You build your perfect team of cats, equip them with gear, and send them into grid-based tactical combat.
Because each cat can only fight once before retiring, you're constantly pushed to breed new generations and discover wild, powerful mutations.
Why We Love It
- Complex Breeding System: Creating the perfect lineage is incredibly satisfying. Check out the Breeding Guide to see how deep it goes.
- Tactical Combat: The grid-based combat is challenging and rewarding, requiring smart positioning and class synergies.
- Endless Secrets: With hundreds of mutations, a massive Items Database, and crazy events, every run feels fresh.
Whether you're looking for a palate cleanser after a stressful R.E.P.O. run or just love tactical roguelikes, Mewgenics is absolutely worth your time.
