Don’t be fooled by the cute red panda, the story of Aka is a tragic one. The war has ended and you are looking for a peaceful life. A little bit of crafting, a little bit of farming, a little bit of exploration while you deal with the ghosts of your past. The game lands on the short side - it took me 5 hours to 100% the achievements and I think it is worth its price tag (even more so if you manage to catch a sale). Beautiful story, charming environments and peaceful music. There is nothing that would pose too much of a challenge, even the rhythm minigames are very simple, so a perfect game for low energy days. I have enjoyed the time I spent with Aka, but I do have a few things to say. The variety in farming crops is almost entirely useless, you will need some of them for quests, but majority of the crops I have not used a single time. The controls are a little funny with how you navigate the menu and which buttons do what, it took a little bit of getting used to. Sadly, furnishing placement remained absolutely atrocious so I did not bother much with crafting any. I would like to repeat that this is a short game, so all the mechanics, be it farming or crafting are very simple. If a short, relaxing game with not much of a challenge is what you are looking for, you might like this one.

This game encourages you to do things for the joy of the process, not to get a reward. Somehow it works. There's different activities (light farming/crafting, a few rhythm mini games, cleaning up the environment, a card game, nap taking and cloud watching, a couple marble mazes). The overall goal (what makes the credits roll) is to free 10 ghosts trapped in the past -- sometimes by just listening, sometimes by getting them something they need. One just wants you to play cards with him. The game has charming painterly graphics and a lovely soundtrack. It's its own thing and I can appreciate that. ~$5 is a decent price of admission. There's some bugs and rough edges but that's OK. It took me 6 hours to get 100% achievements, though I used a guide to find a few of the ghosts.

Personally I have kind of a 50/50 opinion on this, so I will give off a little Pro-/Con-List below. Pros - genuinely cute and pretty visuals, -> I am personally a big fan of the 2D/3D mix it has going on -> the artstyle is really adorable - the music and sound design is quite nice - the card and rhythm game aspects, while not especially challenging are a nice intermission - good attempt of a "sweeter way" to portray war, survivors guilt and loss Cons - the controls are a little clunky and sometimes things just dont look very "smooth" (I specifically mean the lift thingy on marple island ) - the farming aspect of the game doesnt really feel rewarding -100%ing the quest (without a guide) can be a little challenging at times, because not all areas are easy to find (seriously, a map would have genuinely been nice) My final verdict I personally enjoyed Aka quite a lot, mainly because I dont mind that the controls are a little clunky and because I didnt really "expect" a farming sim. I mean yes, there are farming elements in the game, but to me, they dont feel particularly rewarding. Again, I dont really mind that, but I believe that the "Farming Sim" Tag is slightly misleading. I personally also believe that a bit more "commitment" to one aspect of the game would have been a good idea. There are multiple aspects of the game (the little cafe thing on palm island, the farming, the rhythm and card games), that could have been more fleshed out and I believe that if the game focused more on one or two of these parts, the game would genuinely be more enjoyable and have more replay potential. However, I personally still recommend Aka. The reason: the story that Aka tries to tell. Following a war survivor, that returns home all of his old friends dead and tries to deal with the survivors guilt that comes with it. And while there is only limited direct story telling (via quest and dialogue etc.), the general approach the game has to getting the state of Aka (the character) across, works really well for me. I personally started off playing the game trying to get everything done as quickly as possible. An approach that makes sense for most videogames. Aka however makes it quite clear early on, that you are supposed to take your time, because that is kinda all that the character Aka has left. I can also get why that approach might make a lot of people dislike Aka, but I had my fun with it. So if you dont mind taking the slow approach to a game, Aka is, in my opinion, a good choice. (But even then, Id recommend waiting for a sale, becuase the game does not have a lot of content)

SOOO CHIIILLLL. Extremely chill. Especially for a game thats actually about war damage and trauma and stuff. Don't try to get somewhere specific in a hurry. Don't try to 100% complete all the quests. If something doesn't work... it doesn't work. Just channel your inner red panda. Stroll around and find stuff. Lie and look at the clouds. Take a nap on a capybara the size of a mountain. Jam with a koala. Cry cause most of your friends are dead? I promise its chill umm. Decorate your house and make a little garden. But don't take it too seriously. Pet the dog. LET THE DOG PET YOU. Let the game idle in the background because the music is just so nice. I guess I should buy the soundtrack at some point. More cozy and combat-free recommendations? > [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45583336/]Treefrog wants to chill <
