Roguelike fatigue isn’t coming, but the genre’s definition has become meaningless, says The Binding of Isaac creator

The Binding of Isaac creator Edmund McMillen and his friend and Mewgenics' co-creator Tyler Glaiel spoke with Destructoid about The Binding of Isaac and the state of the roguelike genre in the video game indie scene.

We already spoke with the duo during a hands-on preview of Mewgenics, where they explained their ambitious plan to make it "the most fun" game they've ever made. This time, though, we've asked them questions about the current state of the roguelike genre, especially because Steam never had so many roguelikes published in a single year as in 2025.
