Aka is a small adventure game. It was developed by an independent French studio Namra Games.
Aka takes us to the picturesque archipelago. During the game, we play as a red panda, who, after the end of the bloody war, comes here to regain inner peace. Wanting to forget about the traumatic experiences, she has to do her best not to let the demons of the past remind her of themselves.
In Aka we observe the action from a camera hanging above the character. Production gives us an open world, which consists of various biomes. We can find here both picturesque beaches and forests or snowy mountains. Wandering through them, we encounter a variety of animals and other creatures, which we can help in solving their problems (for example, by feeding small dragons) or interact with them in other ways (for example, by taking a nap on the back of a large capybara). In addition to exploration, our red panda can deal with cultivating the land and preparing tasty meals and potions, as well as obtaining resources needed to produce various items and construct various structures and small buildings.
The colorful, cartoonish graphics of Aka match well with the calm pace of gameplay and the idyllic atmosphere that (at least at first glance) prevails in the game world.

Game Ratings for Aka Video Game.
Try Hard Guides: 6 / 10 by Erik Hodges
Aka is a game with a great idea at its core. The promise of a peaceful, directionless experience can be something that greatly attracts a certain type of player, who will definitely find the game worth the time. However, Aka sort of fumbles in the execution. This is a game I recommend picking up after a few updates and quality of life changes, because the potential, much like the game, is limitless.
NintendoWorldReport: 5.5 / 10 by Jordan Rudek
Unfortunately, playing the game offers too little of an incentive for how challenging it is to control your red panda friend. While it may be true that a good deed is its own reward, such a proverb doesn't lend itself well to the medium of video games. There are some worthwhile moments to be had in this world, but they're just too few and far between.
WayTooManyGames: 4.5 / 10 by Heidi Hawes
Aka is a big disappointment for me, because I was actually really loving what I was able to play of the game until it essentially broke. It’s far more than just a casual slice of life sim, especially if you choose to help the other inhabitants you come across. I really wanted to see what the rest of Aka had in store, but at this point, I can’t. I can’t in good conscience recommend this game in its current state, even if it feels so promising. As of right now, I have to say to hold off until the game breaking bugs are all patched before picking it up.
