Excitedly revealed on Jeuxactu last February, Astérix and Obélix Baffez-les Tous 2 has been slowly building anticipation ever since! After teasing the game earlier with some screenshots and an official press release back in June, Microids finally made a splash at the end of August by unveiling the first video for this highly anticipated beat ’em up sequel. The original comic’s charming hand-drawn 2D graphics by Philippe Dessoly shine through beautifully once again. Fans can look forward to seeing Astérix and Obélix back in action, alongside potentially other beloved characters from their adventures.In addition to its delightful visuals, the game introduces some fresh gameplay elements that will keep players engaged. Our heroic Gauls now have new moves they can charge up for even more powerful attacks. Plus, there’s a brand-new Rage mode that wasn’t part of the first episode—talk about adding exciting twists! Players will also be able to destroy parts of the environment and pick up objects as makeshift weapons, which is par for the course in an action-packed beat ’em up game. We can’t wait to see how all these features come together to create a truly memorable gaming experience!
As for the story, Astérix and Obélix are setting out on another thrilling adventure at the request of Goudurix! He needs their help to rescue his father, Océanonix, who has been unfairly imprisoned for a theft he didn’t commit. Poor Océanonix was accused of stealing the Aquila de Lutetia, the prized golden emblem of the Roman legions, and suddenly found himself behind bars! Our brave Gaul heroes are heading straight to Lutèce to embark on this exciting quest. Along the way, they’ll explore mysterious ruins hidden deep in the forest, navigate through a bustling Roman camp, and finally reach the majestic city of Lutèce itself. Here’s hoping that any pirate ship scenes will be briefer and more fun than ever before!
