I'd recommend playing but I can also recommend other games if your looking for more than just a nice story and something more rewarding to grind away at.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
41 of 280 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is beautiful, I am in love with the soundtrack and if you think away all of the things you can't do it's simple, relaxing fun, but there's so much to be desired, even apart from the bugs and technical problems.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 280 sampled reviews raised it

Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
6 of 280 sampled reviews raised it
The strongest points of Aka would be the character/art design, music, and the story especially, I absolutely loved the character design of the NPCs and the tragicness to go along with it.
