"If AK-xolotl released 10 years ago, it would likely be a cult classic and although it&s;s kind of fun, it doesn&s;t really hold up in today&s;s market."

"AK-xolotl is a twin-stick shooter full of action and personality. What bad can happen from giving cute creatures deadly weapons? It&s;s amazing how guilty this game made me feel for thinking about sacrificing my baby&s;s happiness to power my character …"

"AK-xolotl presents a cute run&s;n&s;gun roguelite concept, but an overall simplicity and lack of post-credits gameplay leaves it ultimately underexplored."

"Much like the axolotls in real life, I’d rather watch than play more of “AK-xolotl”. It has a good foundation, but its unnecessarily complicated meta progression, lack of weapons and build variety makes its runs frustrating and repetitive."

"AK-xolotl is the most entertaining roguelike I’ve played since Nuclear Throne. It nails that sense of pacing, it adds some suitably fresh quirks to differentiate itself and it’s full of belly-busting humour that is rib-cracklingly hilarious. This is an absolute …"

"AK-xolotl is a difficult yet highly engaging roguelike that will make you fall in love with its charming woodland creatures while laughing at its absurd violence. Seeing my goofy little AK-xolotl with a giant gun made me grin from ear …"
