Press release:
Barcelona – [June 21st, 2022].
The Holland-based video game publisher and indie games developer 2Awesome Studio today announced with great joy and excitement that their top-down action roguelite “AK-xolotl”, is coming to PC and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch) in early 2023!
And it’s all thanks to the overwhelming success of it’s Kickstarter campaign, with a lot of new features added to the game.
AK-xolotl’s Kickstarter campaign was fully funded in just 4 hours and today, 10 days away from ending, it counts with over 600% of the initial goal funded. As a result, there will be even more new features coming to the full version of AK-xolotl.
AK-xolotl physical editions for PlayStation 4 & 5 and Nintendo Switch:
AK-xolotl running on the Nintendo Switch:
Current list of new in-game features coming to AK-xolotl:
In-game pets: small and friendly critters that follow you around, with a lot of different designs and fully unlocked by playing, no external transactions required.
Boss Rush mode: jump straight into action against waves of stronger and deadlier versions of AK-xolotl’s bosses. A challenge for the bravest axolotls!
Daily Run: seeded runs that will reset everyday. Each run will have different conditions and players will be able to compete in the daily leaderboard.
In-game hats: transform your axolotl into a true fashionista and customize it with different hats, with tons of options to choose from.
Fishing mechanic: some areas in-game will allow you to fish. While fishing, you will have a chance of getting meat, guns, items, an exclusive baby axolotl or…nothing at all!
“The Menu”: a bestiary where you can learn more about your prey. You will be able to see all the delicious options for your Axolotl’s meal, while also learning some very useful information about each one of them.
Current Kickstarter campaign stretch goal:
“Second Dinner” aka New Game+: finished your run? If your axolotl (or yourself) is still hungry for more, you can go for a “Second Dinner” — starting a new run, New Game+ style, keeping all your power-ups and upgrades but fancing deadlier and stronger enemies! You can repeat this process indefinitely: how many dinners do you think you will last?
