“Build the ultimate cat army through tactical breeding and send them into deep, challenging turn-based adventures. Draft abilities, collect items, and manipulate genetics across generations in this roguelike tactics game from the creators of The Binding of Isaac and The End is Nigh.”
Mewgenics is a rogue-like RPG with turn-based mechanics focusing on breeding cats continuously to send them on the hunt for food out into the world, starting with the good ol’ fictional town of Boon County! Give your cats a variety of unholy (while sometimes more holy. IE walking on water? A classic holy miracle!) mutations, or even curses of equal unholy proportions! When not out exploring, players instead focus on their home. Redecorating with furniture that can affect your cats’ behaviors, observing the cats you own, or just sorting your inventory to purrfection!
Since releasing on February 10th, 2026, players have immediately begun collecting and sharing strategies regarding their precious purring creatures.
One centers on the feature that is integral to this game as well as dozens others! We’re talking about classes. What does this classic feature have to do with this game? How do you unlock them? We’ll explore them here!
What are Classes in Mewgenics?
When talking about Mewgenics, classes are tied to collars.When applied to a cat, classes can change their stat modifiers along with a series of abilities that are given as rewards after they’ve battled outside during their adventure. These collars are mostly boosts that will help your cats to survive in combat!
When starting out, newborn kittens/cats are born collarless, meaning they have no stat boosts or other abilities as stated earlier. They will instead be offered abilities that are readily available to all cats.
When unlocked, cats can be given different collars, assigning them a class which gives different abilities, before setting them out to explore and adventure. At first, 5 classes are available to the player without being unlocked, with an additional 9 classes can become available through unlocking.

Should I Go Collarless?
When beginning a new adventure, you can apply a collar to your cat that increases your stats, we’ve been over this. But, you are also fully free to not put a collar on your cat. Are there benefits to going naked, in a sense? There is! Adventuring without a collar is the way to get unlocks. These include;
- Metronome
- Skill
- Share
- Path
- Of The Void
- Void
- Soul
- Lil’ Kitty
- Ball of Yarn
- Normal Ears
- Ordinary Whiskers
- Mundane Collar
- Skill Split
Each unlock has their own passive abilities that are always in effect that can be applied to your cats automatically! Explore and experiment, as the game encourages!
