Mewgenics has reached a major commercial milestone, moving one million copies within a week of its February 10 launch. The Steam-exclusive title from Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel has not only earned strong critical and player reception but reportedly paid back its development budget within hours of release.

  • Sales: Announced by co-creator Tyler Glaiel, the game crossed one million units sold seven days after launch.
  • Development history: The game released after more than a decade of intermittent development between its creators.
  • Gameplay: A roguelike, turn-based strategy focused on breeding and deploying squads of cats into procedurally shifting encounters.
  • Reception: Players and critics have responded well—Steam user reviews are very positive and the title holds an 89 Metacritic score.
  • Scope: The experience is deep, with completion times that can reach roughly 200 hours for dedicated players; Game Informer has been covering it with a review-in-progress and a prior feature on its development.
