Acudir is more sophisticated and abstract; ir is more common and concrete. Again I would recommend you reading some real usage scenarios on Linguee.com

Ir means to go (with or without an invitation or a request or a summon)

Acudir means to go to the rescue, attend to or respond to an invitation, order or request.

Fue a la corte para acudir a la cita del juez.

He went to court to attend to the court or judge order.
