For the people wondering if this is worth it on sale, here is my answer: I don't think so, no. You should not pay money for this game, in any case. I will explain why. This is an unfinished, abandoned product. There are bugs keeping you from progressing or interacting with certain aspects in the game and until this gets fixed - I can't recommend it to anyone. I personally picked it up with the current sale because I …

This is another one of those games where I wish there was a middle option between thumbs up and thumbs down. The game is beautiful, cute characters, nice music, but it is basically just one long drawn out fetch quest. There just is not a whole lot to it, and some of the items for various quests take a very long time to obtain - you basically just sit around waiting for certain crops to grow because there is …

I purchased AKA yesterday (April 15th, 2023) when it was on sale here on steam for about $10, after having this on my wish list for a long while. I am very glad I did. I began playing last night at 7 PM, and this charming, heartfelt, emotional yet cozy, calming game kept me engaged until nearly 1 AM, when I had to force myself to stop playing and finally go to sleep. The story line involving a retiring red panda …

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). …

7/10 I love this game, I think it's a very fun game with adorable graphics, a deep and heartfelt story, and interesting game mechanics, but I would not give it 10 stars. Let's go over what I liked first. The Story is honestly really good and enjoyable, you learn things about many characters and it can really pull at your heartstrings at some points. I cried multiple times while playing the game! You also meet a …

Players who liked Aka talk about beautiful art and music create a relaxing atmosphere; those who didn't talk about game is short, with limited content after main story. Which matters more to you?

neutral · AI labelView post →This is an unfinished game? Beware potential spoilers. This is one of those games that I really wish I could leave a neutral feedback for. The style is gorgeous. The narrative is interesting. But asides from the main overarching story, nothing else really goes anywhere... and not in a good inner-peace finding way. The farming and crafting that is advertised is barely even important to the game and incredibly shallow. There is a great system there for crops that grow well next to each other…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As many have said in the reviews, the game is pretty unfinished. Despite the good concept, interesting plot and adorable graphics, the title as a whole is kinda barebones. It also has some questionable things. For example, why can you eat stuff when there is no hunger or heath for that matter? There is no main story instead you get to complete, what feels like, side quests. I know it's a farming sim, however, it seems to me that there was supposed to be a larger emphasis on the story…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Aka feels like the devs blew all of their money on art-related things and forgot that they actually had to create a game. It's as if they threw together the bare bones of a bunch of (on paper) nice mechanics, put a (aesthetically pleasing) bow on top and said, "Here you go!". The art, soundtrack and narrative were great but everything related to gameplay felt clunky and just straight up unfinished. I literally had to double-check whether the game was still in Early Access. Quite a few aspects…

I could not tell if there was a bug with the first floating card or a bug with no cards floating after I won two more times. The game is super cute,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Starting with the positive first: The 2D Art is really cute, and the characters look adorable. The actualy ingame 3D models are also pretty charming and the island is bright and colorful, and some stuff you can find on the island is also pretty cute, the baby dragons or the wolf-pup you save. The idea behind the story is also good. Sadly, that is already it. Most of the ideas in this game, like the farming, feel unfinished and clunky. The story has its moments, but it should have had more…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game, but incredibly buggy. I wouldn't recommend spending your money on this game right now until they fix several things, because it's very plausible you'll waste hours of your time only to be stuck and unable to complete the game or its achievements. Some bugs I've encountered: 1.) The marble maze game never loads when you try to play it. I click yes to play, and nothing happens. 2.) The Blue Foot Mushroom on Maple Tree Island never re-spawns. I picked it to make a potion to…

This game somehow remind me of some of the past trauma I had and I am playing it just to learn how to deal with it especially some of the trauma that had been haunting me till today.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Holy ♥♥♥♥, what an exercise in patience this game is. No tutorial. No guidelines. No indication that the train behind you will take you to a location pivotal to progressing the game. No means to buy the seeds you need, dragging out certain quests. Pointless back-and-forth fetch-quest crap. Controls are clunky, if you so much as *graze* an island on your way to the next you will teleport there instead. Music started stuttering and freaking out after the game was open for an hour. It plays like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to love this game simply because the art is so adorable and charming. But the controls were bad, it's impossible to rebind the keys. Things were almost worse with a controller. It was clunky, unpolished, poorly translated, and completely unplayable for me :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a delightful game! It's a simple and short game for the genre but incredibly sweet and cute, with a beautiful message as well. Basically, the war has ended, and our MC begins a journey to find peace and forgiveness. As we progress in the game, we help spirits close their unresolved issues; there's a bit of farming, a bit of exploring, some musical mini-games, and more. We go back and forth through the islands, aiding others. At points, it may feel like you are just the delivery guy to…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels like a good time to mention that devs who put out 10+ titles have the same success rate as those releasing a first game. Aka: throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks is not a good strategy for success on Steam. My unconfirmed suspicion is that many ai-labelled games are doing just that.

neutral · AI labelView post →I loved the characters, the idea etc. but there are times where I felt like there was suppose to be more to this game. There's items that you can collect that don't really do anything. Some spaces feel empty. There's an achievement for playing to Day 100 but I completed all the quests around day 30. I kept looking at my island and wanting to decorate it more but there's limited options. It was nice with some really unique ideas but I kept feeling like there was suppose to be more.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to recommend this game. I wanted to like this game. Sadly there seem to be a far amount of game breaking bugs and from what I can tell the devs have abandoned it. It's such a shame because the art was beautiful and what I got of the story was nice. There are a lot of quality of life things missing to go with the bugs then you add the devs just abandoning it I can't recommend it no matter how good a sale they put it on.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would give this a very positive review as a story-based exploration game with about 10 hours of content. I would not recommend it as a a farming simulator, as this element is not developed very much at all, and mainly supports certain story quests with no incentive to go beyond that. Aka is very unique and I plan to play through it again. It is a 'quality over quantity' game that you won't drop 100 hours into, but the hours you do spend will likely stay with you. I enjoyed it a lot, as I…

neutral · AI labelView post →I think the art style for this game is absolutely precious and for that reason I wanted to love it. I did enjoy the first hour or so, but after a while the quests get repetitive and it starts to feel like a chore to go from one area to the next to get a specific item and then go all the way back. My personal obsession with completionism is the only thing that kept me going. The whole game feels unfinished, but I feel like it could have been great. There are plenty of bugs and issues (you can…

neutral · AI labelView post →I am not recommending the game only because it has too many bugs. The visual, the music and the story were excellent. The gameplay was fun, but there were so many problems with the quest and the progression of some of them. There were some quests that I had to do them multiple times. You can also be completely blocked from completing the story line.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute art, though some cutscenes look really unfinished. Many of the npcs are in their own zone with nothing else there to interact with. The UI is overbearing and you can't just clear it with esc. you're forced to do interactions once you click on something, like chairs that are logs, when else where in the game you collect logs. If you're forced into opening the UI by an npc you have to manually close each section after... The world is really small and feels unfinished, like a demo to a full…

I loved the art and character designs in this time. It's very soft and adorable, and while the characters aren't overly detailed, they still felt unique and definitely had character. The different islands you could go to were unique and cool to explore, each having a bit of a different vibe to them. The gameplay was… eh. I really wanted to like it more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game and also fairly enjoyed it at first ... Then suddenly my quests reset themselves. Now I can't finish the ghost questline because I already used the one important item in this game (nayas). So beware of game-breaking bugs that won't ever get fixed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has a LOT of potential, but it feels like a student made this tbh. It's pretty buggy, controls are a little weird and everything feels under-polished. It needs someone with a clear creative vision to give this a once-over and make sure all the graphic/visual design is cohesive with the overall style. UX/UI wise: The UI feels especially cheap and underdeveloped, I'd recommend taking another look at it, and creating assets that have a more painterly feel (Like the rest of the world) instead of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this game. It is beautiful and peaceful but the actual story is actually a rather heavy subject: Survival after war. Aka, the red panda, isn't just retiring to a peaceful island to handle some crops. He also has to face various ghosts from the past, and coming to terms with things that has happened. My one and only complaint, is that I finished the game in 4 hours. Yet for some reason, there is an achievement to play the 100th day in game. I'm on day 35 and there is nothing more…

There are three boards with ranging difficulty, and levels to the board itself. The basic one is two colliding spirals, forming one. (1/6)
neutral · AI labelView post →Enjoyed playing this for a couple of hours but really struggled to get past the near split of art styles between the game and the UI. Feels like it's been slightly rushed which is a shame. A very cosy and cute game to pick up on the cheaper side. On steam deck for docked on a larger TV, the UI doesn't scale all to well, resulting in blurry text. It's a shame as I can see the potential this game has, but I wouldn't go as far to say it's an open world, farming sim game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Aka is a visually charming farming sim with a serene atmosphere—but that’s all it offers. Despite being marketed as a farming and crafting game, both systems are shallow, unrewarding, and borderline pointless. You can grow crops endlessly with no real use for them, and crafting is limited to a handful of bare bones furniture items. There’s no overarching goal, no story past the intro, and very little incentive to do anything beyond wandering around the game’s four small, repetitive areas.…
