But where has Getafix gone? The long-bearded druid has disappeared after betraying his people for Julius Caesar! The Gaulish village is in an uproar! They must find out the truth! Always ready for a fight, Asterix and Obelix are sent to Rome on a mission by their chief Vitalstatistix. There, they find a new amusement park – Las Vegum – built by the famous Roman emperor. To what end? What is Getafix hiding?

This is a pretty standard adventure game, with an Asterix & Obelix skin on top. My brother and I were thinking about the different skins which could go on top, and it’d still work. You are on a forward path, killing enemies and using the abilities of the characters to traverse the landscape. This reminds me of a lot of the old arcade brawler games. I love the writing though and did laugh a lot at the jokes.
