It’s practically a time machine back to your childhood comics, ready to plow through Roman legions while you giggle at the mayhem. But how challenging is it?

Gameplay

In this vibrant world of Gauls and Romans, you’re tasked with rescuing your kidnapped villagers. Think of it as a campy mash-up with some hefty puzzle solving and combat. The game masterfully transitions between our favourite duo—Asterix and Obelix—each with their own unique attributes. Asterix is all about speed and agility, while Obelix... well, he’s a literal tank.

Your skill will be put to the test as you juggle enemies, solve puzzles involving torches and sliding platforms, and crush every ounce of Roman spirit in sight. Oh, and don’t forget collecting glorious helmets to buy power-ups that make you feel like a Gaulish superhero, because what’s a helmet without a sense of style?

Graphics

Okay, let’s have a little heart-to-heart about the graphics. The remaster boasts some shiny visuals. We’re talking about those good old cel-shaded graphics spruced up for the 21st century. Cartoonish and vibrant, the kind of art you’d stare at when you’ve got an existential crisis; it just gives off good vibes. Running around in lush green fields with adorable characters against the backdrop of mustache-clad Romans creates a whimsical world that’ll have you playing just for those eye-popping colors alone. However, don’t get too comfy—because those Romans are coming for you, whether you’re in HD or not!
