Article Summary

Akka Arrh, Atari's VR arcade shooter, is launching on PSVR2 this March.
Already available for PC, Xbox, and Switch, it completes its console set.
The game offers a blend of Jeff Minter's humor and intense psychedelic visuals.
Features include simple controls, combo systems, and accessibility options.

Atari announced this morning that they will be releasing the VR arcade shooter Akka Arrh on the PSVR2 in a couple of months. The game was already released a short time ago for PC, as well as Xbox consoles and the Nintendo Switch. So seeing it appear on the PlayStation 5 kind of completes the circle in many ways, but also give the PSVR a much-needed shooter title in a library that feels lacking at the moment. The game plays off of both Jeff Minter's sense of humor and the psychedelic images that are thrown at you as you pilot your way through enemies. We have more info about the game here as it will be released sometime in March.

In Akka Arrh, players control a command center poised to destroy oncoming enemies. Players start with bombs that trigger a chain of reactions on-screen. When enemies are defeated, players accumulate bullets that are used to keep the multiplier up. Ultimately, Akka Arrh is a unique shooter that challenges players to plan each carefully timed shot to maximize their high score!

Meant to Be: Enjoy Minter's unique brand of retro-inspired bliss the way the gaming gods intended — in virtual reality! Become fully engulfed in frenzied kaleidoscopic action and pure arcade bliss.
Simple Perfection: You'll be thrown directly into the action where combos, high scores, and survival are your only goals
Unleash Neon Insanity: Create massive chains of enemy explosions and rack up ammo for precision shots to keep a combo and your rings (or life force) protected. Lose them all, and it's game over.
A Ride Through Space and Time: Start from the beginning of the 50 unique levels, or pick up where you left off to power through to the end
Accessibility-Friendly: Sensitive to flashing lights or just not a fan? Not to worry, as there is an option to disable the more intense visual effects so that the experience can be enjoyed by a wider audience.
