The hottest roguelike of 2026 Mewgenics might also be one of the meanest, since developers Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel responded to players' complaints of a difficult tutorial boss with murder, murder, and more murder.

Glaiel – who's previously collaborated with McMillen on several cult-hit games, including The End is Nigh in 2017 – explains in a February 19 post on Twitter. He frames it as a "fun little tidbit about the Mewgenics tutorial" before telling a tale full of caprice and malice.
