Akka Arrh is a modern take on a 1980s Atari arcade machine that was never released. Atari asked the legendary Jeff Minter (and Giles) of Llamasoft to reimagine the game and what they’ve come up with is pure arcade bliss. Trademark Llamasoft visuals: black background, blocky text, simple geometrics, coupled with modern psychedelic particle effects – with a trance soundtrack – produce a game that combines tower-defence strategy and arcade shooting. It can be as relaxing or complex as you want it to be. Minter, over his long career, has had a knack of creating games which are just fun – you can play it for five minutes and have a blast or play it for five hours and lose yourself.

Re: Akka Arrh ( And here it is ! )
Just a hairs breath off 200 million in Pure (Normal) Mode - I love the last 3 levels arent the hardest but the funnest - you'll know when you get there.
Certainly a grower for me as was undecided for a little while but then it kinda clicked - its almost a non-shoot-em-up in parts which I like as it can feel pretty tactical and I now have the warning sounds for certain "super annoying" (swarmers) down pat things arent so bad with off-screen shenanigans.
I imagine its a lot easier with a mouse but hey I have the switch version and I am very happy.
Hard Mode now thats an interesting proposition - giving me 2 bullets at the start to try and continue my chain - fucking super generous guys !!
Just behind TxK and SG for me guys so well, well done.
More please.

Literally a few million off 200 million in Classic... I appreciate the way the Adventure 2600 Dragons can just leap at you but I dont appreciate the drop in score from having to go downstairs to finish the buggers off !!!

Free with Prime at the moment (for the Amazon Games app).
Re: Akka Arrh ( And here it is ! )
So Akka is coming to psvr2 , would there also be a port for psvr on its way?

I would say the chances of a PSVR version are zero.MegaZoid. wrote:So Akka is coming to psvr2 , would there also be a port for psvr on its way?
Completely different code is needed and I can't imagine much of a market to buy the game. Can't see any way Atari would sanction it.
Still hoping for some Quest stuff myself... (VLM more than AA)

Re: Akka Arrh ( And here it is ! )
A nice surprise in hard mode today as really dont play Hard much - I got the Maestro Baghurst achievement - saw it come up so thought I'd see how many I have left -


So 3 left - 2 of which are tricky (and 1 probably impossible) but whats the Egg Toggle guys ?

This is really something else in VR guys - great work
the VR version isn’t really mentioned much on the PSN store - not under the PSVR2 section either….

Guessing the VR version is just PSVR2? Not seen any updates on the PC version up on Steam.
