Mewgenics is almost the kind of roguelike that surpasses the concurrent players of the likes of Vampire Survivors, and developer Edmund McMillen's own The Binding of Isaac.
Mewgenics is the newest roguelike from Edmund McMillen, developer of what is arguably the top of the list for best roguelike games, The Binding of Isaac, and Tyler Glaiel, developer of The End is Nigh.
However, Isaac was apparently nothing more than McMillen testing out roguelikes in preparation for Mewgenics. And after 14 years, including one cancellation, the game has released to massive acclaim – becoming the first 90+ rated game of 2026 – and had already made back its development budget within the first three hours.
