Mewgenics

Mewgenics blends strategy, RPG, simulation, and adventure, and the store tags it as an indie game. Developed and published by Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, the designers behind The Binding of Isaac and The End Is Nigh, it is a turn-based tactics game built around breeding. The store pitch asks what it would be like to raise a perfect army of cats and send them on a strategic journey to find food, money, and treasure.

The core loop runs in cycles. Each day you pick members from a growing family to form a team, then fit them with class collars such as warrior, tank, or mage. Your squad fights turn-based battles where precise placement and combined abilities matter. Cats that make it home may be injured, but they bring back experience and sometimes grow extra heads. Their strange skills and mutations carry into future fights, and by adjusting bloodlines and genetics you shape what the next generation becomes.

The setting is Boon County, and the roguelite structure means each run is a new adventure rather than a repeat. Choices about money, items, and genetics have real consequences from turn to turn. The store description lists more than 1,000 skills spread across classes, more than 900 items, more than 200 enemies and bosses, and a main story it describes as more than 200 hours long.

The game eases you in gently, then gradually reveals its depth. Some decisions are painfully hard, such as whether to keep a cute kitten or hand it to an NPC to upgrade your home. Chaos is part of the experience, and you can even pet the cats.

• Turn-based tactical battles where you position your cats and combine their abilities for sharp, planned turns.
• Breeding and genetics tools let you adjust bloodlines to create stronger and stranger cats for later runs.
• Class collars such as warrior, tank, and mage give each cat a distinct role within your party.
• The store lists more than 1,000 skills in total, with 75 exclusive skills for each class, plus more than 900 items.
• Adjustable text size, colorblind alternatives, full controller support, and a mouse-only option make the game accessible in several ways.
• Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, and a save-anytime option are all included.

Steam labels Mewgenics Very Positive (極度好評), with 90% of reviews positive across tens of thousands of reviews. A rating this high, built on a sample that large, is a strong signal that the majority of players who finished their reviews enjoyed the game. The large review pool makes the percentage more reliable than a rating based on a few hundred reviews would be.

Steam calculates these labels from the positive percentage and the total number of reviews, so a Very Positive label usually means a clear majority of players are satisfied. Because the rating is an average of past opinions, it can not fully capture how the game feels after recent updates, so reading the most recent reviews on the store page can help. The label is a helpful starting point, but your own taste in roguelites and tactics games will matter most.

All prices below are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Mewgenics is currently priced at NT$ 488, which is also its regular price, so there is no active discount right now. Our records show a lowest paid price of NT$ 366, first logged on July 12, 2026, and that was a 25% discount, our deepest so far. The highest price we have recorded is NT$ 488, the same as today.

We have seen the game discounted often, but it has never been free to keep on any day we recorded. Our price record is still short, so any verdict we give is tentative and based on limited history. If you are not in a hurry, waiting for a sale is reasonable, since the game has dropped before. If you want it now, the full price is consistent with what we have recorded, so the decision comes down to how soon you want to play.
