Critic Reviews
WayTooManyGames
By Aaron PriceI enjoyed AK-Xolotl and think it deserves most the same love other games in the genre get. Sure it might be easy to glance over because of how many roguelike/roguelites there are, but at this point surely you’ve done everything there is to do in Enter the Gungeon and want to play something similar, so here’s your chance. The idea of being able to build various characters that have different stats, like The Binding of Isaac has for its characters, is a great implementation. I hope if this game does well there’s more to add in the future, but if not then it’s still a fun experience and a great game to play “casually” (as casually as you can play a bullet-hell) for a run or two at a time.

By Justin NationWhile it has some cute charm and plays reasonably well, against the significant competition in the space it falters
GameGrin
By Alana DunitzAK-xolotl is a twin-stick shooter full of action and personality. What bad can happen from giving cute creatures deadly weapons? It's amazing how guilty this game made me feel for thinking about sacrificing my baby's happiness to power my character up!
NaviGames
By José CadenaA textbook roguelite with all the potential to make a name for itself within the genre, with many original proposals and a knowledge of its strengths.
Geeks & Com
By Maxime ChartierAK-xolotl is an interesting and entertaining game. Available on all platforms, you'll have the chance to play it. At a more than affordable price, it's a title to put on your wish list. Admittedly, the gameplay isn't perfect, but the game's diversity means you'll get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
