Astérix is a 1993 platform game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game is based on the comic book series Asterix, and is part of a series of games based on this series.
You take control of a short, mustached guy called Gaul, who has to progress through levels located all across Europe, fighting Romans and various aggressive animals along the way, all to rescue his friend Obelix; before Caesar throws him to the lions.
The gameplay takes place in 50 BC. The Romans rule is rife!. One small Gaulish village continues to defy the occupying forces, thanks to a magic potion which makes the occupants invincible. But now Obelix has vanished. The Romans have confirmed his capture and taken him to an unknown destination. Its time for a hero, its time, for you. And the Verdict is...
Very good solid platformer, with bright striking graphics and a decent soundtrack, this game has responsive controls, and a variety of different level combinations to keep you interested, also when using the attack button on an opponent, when you connect, it sends them flying off the screen; very satisfying!. Overall this is a very good game, and well worth a try. |
