Words as body parts
The studio’s store page calls Battlegenics “A unique roguelike word fusing mutant breeding game!” Each creature is built from four parts, and each part is a word. Fusing two creatures merges their words, and the page says “Two different words can fuse into a word you’ve never seen.”
Defeated monsters become loot. Players drag a fallen body onto one of their own creatures to fuse the two. Breeding the same part twice gives it stars.
Inbreeding is part of the system as well. The page says breeding relatives “you might bring out a hidden defect, which with the right word can become the strongest thing in your army.”
Boards and battles
Each creature carries a board of word slots that grows with every generation. Words that fit together light up and hit harder. Players buy words, level them up and lock one in so its line keeps it, then arrange six creatures whose sentences trigger each other.
Combat is real-time and automatic. Six creatures fight hordes of hundreds, and the page lists burns that spread, chains that jump, stacking shields and bosses that “speak sentences of their own.”
A second player can join online and fuse parts together in co-op. Steam lists single-player, online co-op, achievements, cloud saves, leaderboards and Family Sharing.
The game supports 10 languages with interface, full audio and subtitles: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Its user tags include Auto Battler, Creature Collector, Deckbuilding, Roguelite and Online Co-Op.
The studio
Oh Baby Games is based in Singapore and was founded in 2021. It came out of stealth with a $6 million seed round co-led by eGirl Capital and Synergis Capital, with Merit Circle taking part.
Battlegenics joins a run of Steam releases from the studio. The list includes Pawker, Oh Baby Kart, Flood With Friends, Gambapets, Shogun Curse, Bam Bam Boom and Prisoners Chess. Torii: Beyond The Gates is still upcoming.
The studio also sells the Oh Baby Pass NFT, which levels up based on in-game activity across its catalog. Neither the launch post nor the store text fetched for this story mentions the pass in connection with Battlegenics.
That gap came up under the announcement. One reply, from @0xtsugumi, read: “What about giving some web3 related update to Pass Holders Its more like they got abandoned for years”
