Mewgenics just hit consoles, and if your entire relationship with it so far has been watching clips and going "what," welcome. It's a turn-based tactics roguelike where you breed cats, send them to fight, and let the survivors make more cats. It is chaotic by design. Here's how to stop the chaos from steamrolling your first few runs.
Treat every cat as disposable
The whole loop is generational. Cats die, and that's fine, because the ones that live pass their traits down the line. Getting attached to a single star cat is the fastest way to feel gutted when a run turns on you. Think in bloodlines, not favourites.
Read the traits before you breed
Inherited traits are the actual game. Some are brilliant. Some are conditions that quietly sabotage you a few battles later. Before you pair two cats, look at what the litter is likely to carry, and don't chase a strong offensive trait if it drags a nasty drawback along with it.
Position like it matters, because it does
It's a grid tactics game under the cartoon fur. Where you place cats, who eats the first hit, and how you bunch or spread the group decides most fights. Rushing forward gets litters wiped. Slow down and think a turn ahead.
Lean into the weirdness
Some of the best runs come out of accepting a ridiculous mutation and building around it rather than fighting for the clean team you pictured. The game rewards rolling with what it hands you. If you need everything tidy and optimal, Mewgenics will wear you down. If you can laugh at a cursed litter and keep going, it clicks.
