Overview

Mewgenics is a strategy roguelike focused on inheritance systems, mutation chains, and long-term roster planning.


Design Identity

Its biggest strength is the genetics layer. Traits, dominant/recessive behavior, and random mutations make every run feel different.


Who It Is For

Conclusion

Mewgenics is strange, ambitious, and genuinely original in a crowded genre.

Score: 8/10 - A niche game with standout creativity.
