the tink tank vs steven (and chaos too I guess)

Even in the fog of war the tink tank gets you or something… Please look away if you are sensitive to viewing the harsh baiting of algorithms 😨 This feline-flavored, turn-based, roguelike tactical RPG takes place on a 10x10 grid, with mostly traditional classes like Fighter, Mage, Hunter, Tank, and Necromancer, among others. What sets it apart, aside from the cutesy macabre art style that slathers its creative zones with blood and poop, is that so many of the skills and attributes that your team will end up with are randomized and for the most part out of your control. That all but ensures no two runs will play out the same way, forcing you to improvise and play the hand you're dealt. Mewgenics is a game about cats, but it's not necessarily going to appeal to people who passionately love them because it's a dark comedy that treats them as meat to be put through a grinder. The name itself is a play on eugenics, a morally appalling practice of selective breeding that has historically led to things like forced sterilization to remove undesirable traits from the gene pool, so you know going in that it's going to be a little spicy. If you've played any of Edmund McMillen's previous work (here he's collaborating once again with Tyler Glaiel), such as the infamously difficult Super Meat Boy or the infinitely replayable Binding of Isaac, you'll have a sense of the type of humor to expect. It's delightfully gross and endlessly weird at every turn. As you’d expect from a game where you micromanage cat breeding, it’s weird from the off. You awaken on the examining table of local crackpot/genius, Doctor Beanies, who specialises in the most important pillar of modern science: felineology. Beanies has brought you here for a single purpose: collect the stray cat population of local town, Boon County, so he can conduct routine experiments, like time travel. The doctor tosses you the keys to a beat-up shack, your main base, and gives you two cats with which to cultivate a tribe. But first, you’re in for a brief tutorial given by local cat-fight-club enthusiast, Butch. As you soak up his sage words, you’ll learn that Mewgenics is essentially DnD. Your cats embark on harrowing adventures, picking a route along Slay The Spire-style paths of battles, events, and loot. Your main goal, at least initially, is to get your cats across town and bag enough food from winning battles to feed the hungry kitties crashing at your shack. #mewgenics #bindingofisaac #supermeat #mcmillan #edmundmcmillen #roguelike #challengerun #challengeruns #tylerglaiel #replayvalue #rpg #videogames
