Summary

Asterix on the arcade cabinets feels like stepping straight into the comic panels – the art, the jokes, even the way a defeated legionnaire drags himself away are pure Gaulish charm. You can pick the quick‑witted Asterix or the hulking Obelix, each with their own animation set; Asterix twirls enemies above his head while Obelix smashes them with a massive rock that starts every stage. Special combos are hinted at in the attract mode, and a held‑attack button triggers a red‑faced, fast‑rotating arm strike that clears crowds. Occasionally a vial of magic potion or a roast boar appears, granting brief invincibility and letting you plow through Romans, who drop helmets for extra points. The game also slips in a chariot‑race bonus level after the first stage, offering a brief, fun change of pace before the scrolling brawl resumes.

Storyline

Asterix on Arcade lets players step into the world of the beloved French comic series, guiding Asterix and his hulking friend Obelix as they take on the oppressive Roman Empire. The storyline mirrors the classic adventures, pitting the Gaulish heroes against Roman forces in a retro‑arcade style beat‑‘em‑up.
