"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 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 …"
