So I Tried Mewgenics.. | Asmongold TV

In Mewgenics, a game that has somehow amassed 83,000 players, the premise is delivered by a mad scientist named Thomas A. Beenies, who explains that "cats are a science too." The player is tasked with selecting two cats from a batch of bio-vat specimens—a boy and a girl—to begin a breeding and combat loop. The first cat the player selects is immediately described as "less than ideal," and the scientist matter-of-factly explains that the rejected specimens will be "incinerated." This sets the tone for a game that is equal parts tactical strategy, absurdist humor, and roguelike resource management. The player names their first cat "Mr. Cat" and is thrown into a turn-based combat tutorial where the goal is to kill the opposing team's cats.

The Combat Loop: Positioning, Combos, and Permanent Consequences

Combat in Mewgenics is turn-based, with each cat having a movement action and an attack action per turn. The tutorial introduces basic mechanics: melee attacks, ranged attacks, and spells that cost mana, which regenerates at the end of each turn based on a "light bulb" stat. The player learns that attacking from behind deals bonus damage, and that killing an enemy grants a buff tied to the cat's passive ability. The first tutorial fight ends in two rounds, and the player earns three dollars and five chicken wings as loot.
