What is AK-xolotl: Together?

This top-down roguelite shooter puts you in control of an armed axolotl clearing randomly generated rooms across different biomes, collecting food and baby axolotls along the way. Between runs, you raise the young at your pond as future fighters, unlock weapons, and cook recipes for permanent stat boosts. You can play solo or in local or online co-op.

For you if...

+you like fast top-down shooting and dodging dense attacks
+you enjoy raising new fighters between combat runs
+you want to tackle randomized rooms with a friend

Not for you if...

−you prefer fixed levels over randomly generated rooms
−you want combat that rarely demands dodging
−you would rather avoid permanent unlocks between runs
