The cute and dangerous axolotl, known for its affinity for firepower, is making a triumphant return. An all-new Steam update has arrived for the delightfully chaotic roguelike shooter AK-xolotl, and this time it's bringing along some pals. Couch co-op, a highly anticipated feature, has been released at long last. Now, what could be better than one axolotl wielding an AK-47? How about two of them, causing even more amphibious chaos?

With the couch co-op mode, two people can get down to business and cause havoc. The addition of a co-pilot makes the madness more manageable, whether you're destroying waves of enemies or overcoming the game's strange new obstacles. Adding local multiplayer is a logical progression of AK-xolotl's endearing, unpredictable gameplay, which has always been fun.

What’s New in the Pond?

But it’s not just the co-op mode that’s making waves. This update introduces a slew of new content and systems that enhance both the depth and replayability of AK-xolotl. New weapons, new items, a new biome and boss, new enemies, and room variety, it's all here!

A lot of the systems that make up the game, such as the Axolittles, the cooking, weapons, quirks, and even the way runs are generated has changed, so this should be a fresh-feeling game even for older players.

Time to Dive Back In

Whether you're a seasoned AK-xolotl player or just thinking about giving it a try, you just might love all the new content in this update. But beyond that, the quality-of-life improvements and new features make it clear that this game is continuing to evolve in exciting ways.

AK-xolotl is a game that thrives on its unpredictability and charm, and this update only adds to its appeal. Why not check it out on their Steam Page today? 'Water' you waiting for!!
