    Overall, we are faced with a product that can attract the attention of Asterix fans and those who love the genre, but which could have turned out to be much more enjoyable with several more tricks.

    Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! is a disappointing beat'em up which bets everything on the beautiful visuals but ultimately fails at everything else.

    While the genre struggled in the early days on the Switch, the beat-em-up has proven to be alive and well on the Switch, including some titlesWhile the genre struggled in the early days on the Switch, the beat-em-up has proven to be alive and well on the Switch, including some titles I’d consider genre-defining that have arrived over the last 2 years. Asterix and Obelix, taken from the French comic, are characters I’m not at all familiar with so I can’t comment on their use here, though I will note their personalities as well as the unusual characters they interact with in the story, do provide a decent basis for light humor. Gameplay-wise you’ll be dealing with the contrast between the smaller and more precise Asterix and the much larger and brawling Obelix, though since the controls are the same for each at a high level they perform similarly. The play tends to be pretty traditional, though perhaps a bit light on overall strategy compared to some more accomplished titles, but I do appreciate the inclusion of some secret spots on the periphery you can find and that help to encourage exploring the space. Playable solo or with a buddy what strikes me most is that within the genre this may be the most stripped down but still enjoyable titles I’ve played in the space, and with the co-op I could see this being a great title to play with a younger or less experienced gamer, helping to bring them into the fold a bit more gently. It isn’t the most complex or satisfying brawler out there by a fair margin, but there’s something to be said for its sense of humor and accessibility that many of its brethren lack.

Its graphics, music, sound effects and texts are spot on, respecting rather well the original work. And what satisfaction to mow through whole groups of enemies.
    Unfortunately it has its issues like the amateurishly made interludes between the stages, a certain redundancy in enemies and locations and bosses not being anything special play-wise, some trash enemies were even tougher than them, especially the gladiators.

    Me being a fan this game has been a worthy investment but there are better beat'em ups on the market.    … Full Review »

Mr. Nutz Studio ha fatto la scelta migliore con una grafica pulita e molto bella da vedere, in 2D, disegnata completamente a mano. Il risultato è semplicemente fantastico, sembra di guardare un cartone animato. I livelli sono incredibilmente dettagliati e ricchi cosi come anche i nemici, super dettagliati. Peccato per alcune animazioni che secondo me dovrebbero essere riviste e corrette, non sono fluide e armoniose come le altre, come ad esempio la parata.
    Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! è sicuramente un gioco da giocare per tutti i fan della sega del mitico duo di Galli più famoso al mondo, soprattutto dello stile 2D a scorrimento laterale. Un comparto grafico davvero sbalorditivo e fedelissimo, molto colorato. La modalità campagna è lunga ma ripetitiva. Una grande pecca è che non ci sono altre modalità di gioco. Il sistema di combattimento soffre un pò di bilanciamento.Ttutto sommato il titolo regala tante ore di divertimento e consiglio il gioco soprattutto, come ho gia detto, ai fan sfegatati della serie.    … Full Review »
