Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered

About

Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered revs up a 2005 action-platformer with smoother performance and sharper visuals. Play as the titular duo, bashing through hordes of Romans in levels inspired by classic comic settings like Greece and Egypt. Each stage is a chaotic mix of platforming, beat-em-up brawls, and fetch quests. Switch between Asterix’s magical super strength and Obelix’s brute force to clear paths, rescue villagers, and collect hidden items. The game leans into its slapstick roots with over-the-top animations and goofy enemy interactions. The Romastered update boosts frame rates to 60 FPS and sharpens textures across modern consoles and Switch. While Metacritic pegs it at 64, fans of goofy co-op brawlers appreciate the expanded open levels and optional challenges. It’s a straightforward action romp with no online modes, but the 15-hour campaign feels padded in spots. Available since 2020 on PS4, Xbox, PC, and Switch. The real draw? Smashing legions of cartoonish Romans with a beer barrel.
