It can be hard to return to a normal life post-war, so Aka decides to do it by gooing to the relaxing island his old war pal grew up on. 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 than I did. First of all, I wouldn't call it a farming game. Farming is a very miniscule part of this game needed for maybe… 2 or 3 quests. Otherwise, pretty useless. You can make yourself food, but eating it does… nothing. There's not much guidance to the game, so you kind of just have to wander and find things. Which is fine, but some essential parts are intentionally a bit hidden. I was still able to find it all without a walkthrough, but the very start definitely felt a bit… hard to figure out. A lot of items are limited in gathering, such as iron, but at the same time, you can only use iron for so many items that can only be made once, so I actually just have. A ton of useless iron sitting around. Certain items can only be crafted for quests that would be nice to have as decorations, such as the candle item. The decorations you can get are mostly just the same handful of potted plants obtained by turning in trash, which felt quite pointless after I was just getting repeats. The game also still has a fair few bugs in it. The ones I encountered were simple, such as after using an action not being able to move forward and needing to sidestep around, but I did see a few game breaking ones in discussions. It sounds like some have been there for a while without being fixed. There were also just a few annoying mechanics, such as moving during an action cancels it. Which can be quite annoying when trying to pick a ton of weeds or harvest all your crops. The story itself was super sweet. It deals with regret and moving on. How sometimes, even if you are at fault, you need to forgive and continue on living. It also deals with a lot of death, so please be warned that it may be a little upsetting, but I didn't find it to be anything too much. Nothing in detail, just awareness of how someone died. A few of the quests felt… heavily pointless. No reward, no story progression. Mostly, I'm thinking of the snowman quest. No spoilers but… man, nothing happened. Not even a playing card. The achievements were overall easy to get, aside from 2 being very grindy - the apple tree and the playing 100 days. I beat the story of the game on day 17. The apple tree takes about 30-ish days to grow. Essentially, I just woke up and went to sleep a lot after finishing the last small quest I had to wrap up post-game. Some of the achievement titles are… misleading, by the way. One says to beat a character in the card game on hard but… a) it was the only way to battle him and b) I think that was the easiest card battle I played in the game. I also got the achievement for making every potion without making the speed potion. The misleading names didn't make it hard, though, just… wasn't expecting to get them when I did. Overall, it was a pretty good game. I'm glad I played it, but parts definitely felt a bit boring. I can't imagine actually playing 100 days without sleeping them away because there's just… not much to do once you beat the story and finish the quests - of which there's not a lot, by the way. So as much as I wanted to love it, this probably gets more of a neutral rating from me.

A neat little cozy game that involves some farming, crafting, and exploring to overcome the trauma of a war. Some parts of the game aren't as polished, but overall I really enjoyed my time. The card mini-game is fun, and the music is very relaxing. Give it a try if you want a short, cozy game to complete.

I can't deny that this is a cute game in terms of aesthetics and gameplay. It takes a bit of figuring out at first, but it is a fun little game. I didn't expect the plot to be what it was, but it was good. My only issue with the game is that it can be all out of order, depending on how you play. The quests pop up wherever you happen to roam and pick up, so it could potentially mess up the timeline and/or impact of the plot. There seems to be no clear ending once you complete all the quests, so it feels like it's an incomplete game. There's not anything else to do after you finish the quests and story, which is unfortunate too.

My first impression of Aka was how slow and simple the game world seemed. It made sense after I started playing - Aka is a war veteran finally welcoming some peace and quiet in his life, after all. Aka returns to an island where a friend of his, Thom, resides. He is given a place of his own and free to grow his own vegetables and explore the several islands in the archipelago. The world of Aka contains many secrets and details to be uncovered besides the many spirits you are tasked to free (and in freeing each of them, you help Aka confront more and more his trauma from the war). You also get a pet wolf, which is cute. There's also a card game unique to the world of Aka, kinda like Witcher 3's Gwent, and just as fun. The characters in the world of Aka are lively and varied (though I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of 'content', I think this lack specifically was intended by the developers as it wouldn't fit the narrative of the game the devs want players to experience). Personally, I think Aka is good for a single playthrough to explore and learn about the world. There are some tender and tear-jerking moments for sure, but my own experience was marred by the too-hidden areas which required external guidance and the achievement bugs (which are still at present-stage, very bugged). I think Aka could have been better fleshed out or optional paths better highlighted. My having to rely on external help greatly reduced the emotional impact the 'ending' of the game was meant to convey, leaving me to perceive Aka as merely suitable for a single playthrough and naught much else. Still, it's a decent indie game to play at least once. It's not terrible, but it isn't astounding. I did shed a couple of tears here and there though. Overall I'll give this game a generous 6/10.
