Astérix & Obelix is a side-scrolling action platformer based on the famous French comic book series by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo.

Each hero has their own fighting style: Astérix is fast and agile, while Obelix delivers stronger but slower attacks. The game combines humor and recognizable comic book elements with classic platform action and colorful graphics.
