Asterix & Obelix: Slap them All!

Asterix & Obelix: Slap them All! is a beat'em up based on the licence of the cult comic book series about the adventures of the brave Gauls, created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. It was developed by Mr. Nutz Studio and published by Microids.

Plot

The year is 50 BC. Roman propaganda claims that all of Gaul is under the rule of the empire. However, as is widely known, there is one small village that bravely and persistently makes life miserable for the invaders. Leading the way among its inhabitants are Asterix and Obelix, the titular characters we play as.

Mechanics

Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! features side-scrolling action. During the game we move right through various levels and fight anyone who comes within reach of our fists (apart from the Romans, there are also Normans, pirates and bandits to defeat). Although the combat system is not complicated, it offers a wide range of attacks unique to each character, which can be combined in spectacular combos. The gameplay is enhanced by a variety of mini-games waiting to be tested in between punching enemies in the face.

Game modes

Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! can be played solo or in co-op mode on a shared screen. The pillar of the game is the adventure mode, the chapters of which are based on the story presented in the comic books. Additionally, a bonus level was designed, which tells its own story. Apart from that, an arcade mode was implemented, in which we gain points, and we can show off our results to the whole world through online rankings.

Technical aspects

Asterix & Obelix: Slap them All! features colourful, cel-shaded cartoon graphics in a style known from the comic book original.
