Press release:
Barcelona – [March 24th 2022].
The Holland-based video game publisher and indie games developer 2Awesome Studio today announced with great joy and excitement that they have just released a brand-new trailer for their upcoming top-down action roguelite “AK-xolotl”.

The trailer premiered at The MIX 10th anniversary showcase, this past Tuesday, March 22nd.

The Media Indie Exchange (MIX) is all about the games – created by indies and indie game enthusiasts to provide a casual yet professional setting for developers to showcase their projects to top journalists and key folks in the industry. Beginning with the first event hosted at IGN’s offices in 2012, The MIX has featured award-winning games from developers around the world for all platforms and channels.

The trailer, that has now been uploaded to Youtube, gives a close look at the new game direction and features for AK-xolotl, such as new biomes, items & upgrades, weapon shot and more, and presents exclusive roguelite footage, including boss fight gameplay.

In addition to the trailer premiere, a new demo for AK-xolotl is also now available on Steam.

AK-xolotl is a top-down roguelite, featuring the cutest amphibian. You’re an axolotl with an AK (duh!) that goes on a rampage, shooting down their next meal!

Progress through the ecosystem and show who the real apex predator is! Advance through several maps that mix the best of both worlds: procedurally generated biomes, for a randomized experience, and carefully handcrafted room layouts, to achieve the perfect pond atmosphere.

Key features:

Hunt and obliterate your prey with tons of different weapons: melee, close-range, long-range, etc., pick your own playstyle!

Tons of different types of enemies: axolotl’s meal will be buffet style!

Become not only the real apex predator, but also a Michelin chef: cook delicious recipes with all the ingredients you gather throughout your hunting adventures and become stronger.

Expandable and customizable hub: build and customize your own pond & craft new items to decorate it! Your axolotl deserves the best place to live in.

Multiple power-ups to beef up your Axolotl: yes, you have guns, but why not some extra powers as well, that not only make you mightier but also add variety to the gameplay?

Different biomes with multiple variations: experience carnage on the pond with different settings and during different times of the day.

Cute baby axolotls that become playable: pet and care for baby axolotls. Feed them, nurture them and watch them grow! Finally, bring them on your hunting adventures.

Fully supported online leaderboards: because highscores only really matter if you can brag about it!

3 extra game modes for some bite-sized action: need a break from the main hunting? Unwind in quick and fun shooting. Test your reflexes in Pond King, Horde and Chrono, available in both single player and up to 4 players co-op!

Fun fact: Did you know Axolotls can regenerate when wounded?
