A strange mix of fuzzy charm, farming sim, and an aim to help people permeate this unusual adventure Aka is one of those titles where it’s hard to put it squarely into a specific type of gameplay, aside from perhaps having some deep chilling out vibes.

In Aka, you get to be a cute hero in a pretty landscape, taking naps and strolling through trees. So dreamy! It’s just a shame the game has launched with this many bugs. The frequent stalling of progression and basic tasks is a little wearisome and players need a little more paw-holding to grasp the objectives. At this stage we’d recommend waiting for a few more patches, then playing the game in all its fluffy glory. That way, you get to soak up a red panda’s life of luxury. Who wouldn’t want that?

Aka is a simple game with a very compelling idea. It tells you about the mental and physical difficulties faced by people who are adjusting to a new life. You are left to your own devices and made to explore these at your own leisure with no forced narrative pushing you forward. You control the speed of the narration for the game.

Overall, Aka is a solid attempt at the life sims genre, with it truly hitting the mark of being casual and cozy rather than being like the others within the same genre that are more-so grindy time and resource management games. The plot is simple and quite touching, yet it falls short of its promise of peace (for the player, that is).

Aka isn’t particularly expensive, but I still find myself unable to recommend it due to its many issues. In the end, I ask myself whether I would be satisfied if I had bought the game for myself instead of receiving a review code. Unfortunately, the answer is no.

Aka bolsters charming visuals, an emotional storyline, an adorable red panda protagonist, and chirpy sounds, but the gameplay drags the experience down.
