Akka Arrh Review (PlayStation 4)



For this Akka Arrh Review, we get to play a modern take on a scrapped project from the 1980s, providing players with a fast-paced, addictive, arcade shooter experience and psychedelic visuals. Protect your life rings as you chain together combos and go for a high score!

Akka Arrh Review Pros:

  • In-your-face neon wireframe graphics.
  • 231.1MB download size.
  • Platinum trophy.
  • Works on Playstation 5.
  • Arena shooter gameplay.
  • Intro/tutorial set of levels.
  • You are a turret and you must defend yourself against enemies.
  • At certain points, the enemies may get into your area underneath so you drop down a level and play more traditional shooters down there.
  • Turrets have bullets and bombs, bombs explode and spread out killing enemies and then turning them into explosions causing a huge chain reaction.
  • Combo counter.
  • Setting a new bomb starts a new combo but you can use your limited bullets to keep the combo going.
  • The arena you play on changes size and shape as you progress.
  • The bomb explosion shapes change.
  • The screen is chaotic but so needed as it shows the score, combos, tips, humourous text, and more.
  • Uses the English language in the same way I use it… Brilliantly but also aimed at us older more eloquent gamers.
  • I love the look of the game overall.
  • Everything in the game is bright colors and flashy.
  • You can go in and tone did the epileptic flashing.
  • The controls can be set to two or one button inputs.
  • It’s pure arcade nostalgia.
  • Online leaderboards.
  • Has a strong one-more-go hook.

Akka Arrh Review Cons:

  • Takes a bit of getting used to the gameplay as it is different from Minter’s previous releases.
  • The controls are floaty and are the only issue I have.
  • No native PlayStation 5 version.
  • The menus are not always clear.
  • A lot to take in.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
