Last month, I acknowledged that turn-based tactics can be seen as an intimidating genre. But it can also be seen as a boring one—full of dry, fiddly battles and endless sheets of numbers.

Sometimes that's true. But in its best examples, the turn-based tactics genre is the true home of drama and excitement in gaming.

That's exactly why Mewgenics has been such a huge smash hit this month (and scored a 92% in our review). On paper, it's a weird, niche little project—how popular do you think "cat breeding" is as a category of game under normal circumstances? But it's broken out in a big way because it's such an amazing font of one of the best things gaming has to offer: emergent storytelling.
