Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered is an action-adventure game available on Steam, which brings back the classic gameplay from the original 2003 title with a modern twist. Here’s a detailed description of the game:
Setting and Story:
Set in 50 B.C., the game takes place in a world where Gaul is almost entirely occupied by Romans, except for one small village of indomitable Gauls. After a day of hunting, Asterix and Obelix return to find their village in flames, pillaged by Roman forces. Accompanied by their faithful dog, Dogmatix, they embark on a quest to rescue their fellow villagers, traveling through Normandy, Greece, Helvetia (Switzerland), Egypt, and finally Rome. Their mission is to save the villagers from the clutches of Emperor Caesar, encountering various enemies like Romans, pirates, and Vikings along the way.
Gameplay:
Action and Adventure: The game combines action-packed combat with exploration elements. Players can switch between Asterix and Obelix, each offering unique strengths; Asterix for speed and agility, Obelix for brute strength.
Combat: Fights involve using fists and, when available, magic potion to create havoc among the Roman ranks. Combat is simple yet fun, with Asterix using quick punches and Obelix delivering powerful smashes.
Platforming and Puzzles: Players navigate through environments by jumping, climbing, and solving simple puzzles to progress. The game includes platforming sections where timing and movement are key to avoid hazards and reach new areas.
Collectibles: Throughout the levels, players collect golden helmets which can be used to purchase items or unlock content. There are also challenges where collecting these helmets within a time limit or in specific quantities can unlock new modes or items.
New Game Modes: With the remaster, four new game modes have been introduced:
Retro Mode: Allows players to switch back to the original game’s graphics for a nostalgic feel.
Course Mode: A timed challenge to collect coins, rewarding speed and agility.
Countdown Mode: Players must reach the end of levels as fast as possible.
Extreme Mode: An increase in difficulty for seasoned players.
Visuals and Sound:
Graphics: The game has been visually updated with enhanced textures, improved lighting, and character models, although it retains the original’s charm with the option to toggle back to the classic visuals.
Sound: The soundtrack has been remastered with new tracks, but players can also switch to the original music for an authentic experience. Voice acting remains faithful to the characters’ comic book origins, adding humor and personality to the game.
Reception:
User Reviews: On Steam, the game has received “Mostly Positive” reviews, with users appreciating the nostalgia factor and the updated gameplay, though some criticize the simplicity of combat and the occasional technical issues.
Criticism: Reviews from various gaming sites note that while the game brings back fond memories, it doesn’t significantly evolve the gameplay from its 2003 counterpart, leading to mixed feelings about its necessity as a remaster.
Overall:
Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered offers a nostalgic trip with modernized visuals and gameplay enhancements. It’s best suited for fans of the Asterix comic series or those who enjoy straightforward action-adventure games with a humorous, historical backdrop. While it may not push the boundaries of modern gaming, it provides a faithful and enjoyable experience of the original game with enough new content to justify revisiting the world of Asterix and Obelix.
