Hands-on Preview: Akurra

Akurra oozes retro action puzzle RPG love.

The project touches on aspects of some of our favorite Atari, Game Boy, and NES puzzle action games like Kickle Cubicle, Pengo, and even Solomon’s Key, to deliver a feel good take on the genre. It wears its influences on its sleeve, and looks like it might be right at home in the modern wave of gaming nostalgia.

J.J. explains why the nostalgia in Akurra is a welcome advantage to the game as he goes hands-on at PAX West.
