Mewgenics launches on PS5 with 4.92 player rating

Mewgenics launched on PlayStation 5 and is available on the PlayStation Store for $39.99. The game was developed by the team led by Edmund McMillen, known for earlier independent titles. It combines turn-based, squad-level tactics with roguelike progression and genetic systems.

Players assemble teams of genetically engineered cats, draft abilities, collect items and manipulate genetics to shape each run. Encounters play out in tactical, turn-based battles while longer-term progression comes from breeding, item collection and build experimentation. The PS5 release includes cross-save support and offers a range of cosmetic and audio features.

Aggregate scores reflect the response to the console release. The PlayStation player rating stands at 4.92 out of 5, and the game has an 89 Top Critic Average on OpenCritic. Reviews cite extensive replayability, with several noting more than 100 hours of potential play through multiple runs and emergent build interactions.

Critical commentary highlights presentation and design details. One review said, “Every aspect of the game is overflowing with charm and polish, from features like cross-save functionality to details like cats singing along to music.” Another described the title as “a surprising roguelike that will drag you body and soul into its chaotic world.” A third review called it “a fantastic tactical RPG” that offers long play sessions and unexpected, often gross-out, comedic moments.

The game’s mechanics mix familiar elements from the developer’s prior work-dark humor, unpredictable combinations and procedural challenge-with a focus on tactical decision making and genetic systems that influence long-term progression. The PlayStation 5 edition is available now on the PlayStation Store at the listed price.
