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.

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.

Aka is cute, smart, clever, and sad. It’s beautiful and a kid-friendly introduction to loss. Players can choose their own adventure here; there is no pressure to get anything done in this game. You can do as you like and take as much time doing those things as you want. That being said, it has its issues. I think this game just needs a little more love, and it could be a perfect relaxing game for the whole family.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Michelle See-Tho
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?
