Mewgenics Players Have a Request for the Next Update

by

Despite being released recently, Mewgenics has quickly become popular. The unique tactical roguelike, created by the co-creators of The Binding of Isaac, Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, has been a huge success. It’s topped the Steam charts, received positive reviews from both critics and players, and quickly earned back its development costs. Players are already hoping for one major addition in the next update.

Now that players are really getting into breeding cats and tackling the challenging gameplay of Mewgenics, a popular request is appearing on the game’s subreddit: players want better tools to help them manage everything.

Mewgenics Players Want Better Cat Management

This issue might seem minor, but it becomes a big problem as players collect dozens – even hundreds – of unique cats with different abilities and traits. Managing so many feline soldiers is proving difficult, as one player explained on the Mewgenics subreddit. User PrizeAtmosphere9132 pointed out the lack of basic organizational tools: “I was surprised there’s no way to view and sort your cats by stats, class, or mutations.” Currently, players have to click through each cat individually to check its details, which is manageable with a few cats but becomes tedious with a large collection. While the game shows cat family trees, it lacks the sorting, filtering, and overview features players are requesting.

Players want more than just a simple list of characters. They’re also requesting improvements to the game’s interface to help with making quick decisions during battles. Specifically, they’d like to see health bars for all units displayed at once, and better information about equipment and abilities available during combat – not just when it’s a player’s turn. One player explained they often waste time checking what a unit can do because the game doesn’t show enough information upfront. Others are asking for clearer warnings about things like tile effects, enemy powers, and dangerous areas, which can quickly lead to unexpected failures.

I’ve been following the chatter online, and it’s really encouraging to see that the developers are actually listening to player feedback. People have been suggesting some great improvements, and it sounds like the team has seen them and even seems excited about a few! Apparently, Edmund McMillen even hinted that they might add a clearer way to see unit health – someone said he thought it ‘sounds like it’ll be implemented.’ Now, that’s just a comment, so it’s not official, and we haven’t gotten any confirmation yet, but it’s still a really positive sign!

A key part of playing Mewgenics involves carefully breeding cats, giving them equipment, and then using them based on their strengths and weaknesses. Figuring out what to do with cats after they retire is also important. Because the game has so many complex systems, players have often expressed frustration at not being able to easily see all the important information. In a game as detailed as Mewgenics, clear information isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for players to understand and enjoy the game’s design. The first update is expected to focus on making the game experience better overall, rather than adding major new content, but it could still significantly change how players play.

Players are investing a lot of time in this game—some estimates suggest hundreds of hours to finish everything—so they’ll likely be playing it for a long time. Anything that improves the experience will be greatly appreciated. Currently, the game is still developing, and if the developers listen to player feedback and add better management tools in the next update, it could become even better without losing its unique charm. Ultimately, managing your cats in Mewgenics is great, but it would be even better with improved tools.
