(although this seems like a very tough boss)February 11, 2026
The game’s dominance doesn’t stop with its spiritual predecessor. As Glaiel highlighted, having already overtaken Vampire Survivors, Mewgenics now has only one target left to conquer: the record held by Hades 2.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the developer is hopeful that the cat-breeding strategy hit might eventually dethrone the Hades sequel. It remains a daunting challenge; Hades 2 hit a staggering peak of 112,947 players during its September launch window—a milestone Glaiel humorously described as a “very tough boss” to defeat.
Even if it doesn’t seize the top spot, the performance is remarkable for a strategy-heavy title, a subgenre often overshadowed by fast-paced action roguelikes. Beyond concurrent player counts, the commercial success is equally staggering, with Glaiel confirming over 500,000 copies sold in the first 36 hours alone.
After deep-diving into its systems, I’ve found Mewgenics to be an addictive masterpiece—the only game chaotic enough to allow for the specialized training of necromancer cats.
