What the hell is Mewgenics? The game jobs gamers with accumulating and also reproducing numerous felines to educate and also send out right into fight. Or, as the Steam summary places it, Mewgenics is a “turn-based legacy roguelike draft sim about cats!” The game obviously flaunts “100s of hours” of gameplay, several courses with over 50 special capabilities, over 200 opponents, and also various other functions.
Mewgenics was very first announced in 2012, with McMillen at the time explaining it as “By far the strangest project I’ve ever worked on.” McMillen has worked on it alongside Tyler Glaiel; the pair previously partnered for The End is Nigh, among other titles. The game was originally billed as a cross between Pokemon, The Sims, and Animal Crossing, and had first been planned to release in 2014. It was, of course, delayed, and its development was put on indefinite hold in 2016 when McMillen began work on The Legend of Bum-Bo, which launched in 2019. At the time, McMillen was unsure of Mewgenics’ future, but in 2018 he announced he was reprising the game to be launched in “a few years.”
The game is slated to introduce for computer, though whether it’s still pertaining to iphone is unidentified. Are you still thinking about Mewgenics? Let us understand in the remarks!
