Mewgenics Gameplay
Tactical Turn-Based Combat
Mewgenics is an extensive turn-based roguelike RPG that mixes tactical battles with detailed feline management. Players will build a team of mutant cats, each with different roles and builds, then send them off into what the developers refer to as "randomly generated adventures."
Combat takes place in various isometric maps divided into a 10x10 grid. Here, players control their squad of cats and use their limited action per turn to position units, attack, and prepare for enemy turns. Environments are randomly generated, meaning all sorts of terrain variations and enemy locations can drastically change the required strategy for winning every encounter.
Breeding and Genetics
Stats, skills, smart planning, and luck matter greatly, especially in building a litter of ferocious felines. With a huge variety of abilities, classes, items, and enemies to encounter, each run is likely to be unique, encouraging experimentation and creative team setups. But between the battles and preparation, the game also leans into cat breeding and long-term growth.
Cats come with all sorts of stats, abilities, and traits. And if a Cat that survives their adventures, they can pass down traits and mutations to future generations, shaping how the next run plays out. This creates a loop where players aren’t just thinking about the current fight but also about how current choices will affect their growing feline lineage over time.
Roguelike Gameplay
You never know what you're going to get in any given run. Everything from enemies to environments to Cats are randomized, and it's all about playing the cards you're dealt and learning how to adapt.
Meta-progression is a key aspect of Mewgenics, with growth being vital in between runs. Here, players can engage in home management mechanics, managing Cats and items, as well as interacting with various NPCs to power up future parties.
Mewgenics Story Plot
Rather than following a traditional story, the game lets its world reveal details naturally as cats head out on quests, gather loot, and return home possibly changed by their added experience. Players take on the role of a cat lady revived by a mad scientist, Dr. Thomas A. Beanies.
Upon resurrection, Dr. Beanies recruits you to assist him in his goal of breeding genetically superior felines imbued with all sorts of whacky powers.
Mewgenics Setting
Mewgenics takes place in the odd world of Boon County, a rundown slice of the United States. Here, players act as a cat breeder trying to raise the ultimate team of battle-ready franken-felines.
In Boon County, however, the only thing weirder than your character's incessant attempts at feline breeding is the memorable and off-putting cast of characters and monsters you'll find waiting in every corner.
