    In the end, how you perceive Mewgenics depends entirely on you. I will cautiously recommend it if you’re a fan of difficult games because you will be subjected to chaotic RNG. If you’re a fan of the chaos, then this game is definitely for you. I know that I will be happy knowing that I played yet another great game by the people who were part of my flash game binges.

    Mewgenics is a truly enormous game jam-packed with secrets and synergies, surprising and rewarding even when its pacing frustrates.

    Forget The Binding of Isaac, Mewgenics will be your new obsession. [Recommended]

    Players could likely get years of entertainment from Mewgenics, especially if the developers continue to update the game post-release, as with the robust degree of content additions The Binding of Isaac received. I’ve found myself consumed by this game, dreaming about combat grids and sinking hours into trying to create the strongest cats this world has ever seen. It’s a true feat for a game to walk the line between juvenile and complex, and Mewgenics does it deftly.

    It’s one of the first roguelites I’ve played where a bad roll of the dice leaves me excited, not deflated. Whether RNG blazes a path to success, or I’m handed Blasto, my chirpy Hunter cursed with a trait that gave him a zero movement stat, essentially paralysing him, I love the weird odyssey it sends me on. Whatever happens, I know I'll come back with a corker of a story. And it’ll almost certainly involve poo. [RPS Bestest Bests]

    Mewgenics is a strangely engrossing experience, with a tactical style of play and a weirdly wonderful world. While the dark sense of humour and odd quips will likely put off a chunk of players, others will find these elements compelling. If you’re looking for something new in the roguelike world, it’s worth checking this game out.
