This is an action and adventure game in which you control Asterix the hero
of the Gauls and star of the Asterix & Obelix comics. You have to travel around to
collect items, and find a cure for Getafix, the druid of the Gauls. Getafix must be
cured so that he can continue to make the potion that keeps roman soldiers away
from the tiny Gaul village. It's one of the most obscure Coktel Vision games ever,
and is a decent action/adventure similar to Infogrames' Tintin games. Gameplay
follows for the most part a typical platform formula: fight the Romans and hunt the
wild boars, etc. But as with most Coktel games, Asterix also contains non-action
sequences, such as the fun part where you mix the ingredients and test the potion
on either Getafix or a captive Roman, and a dice game you can play against the
soothsayer or Romans in the camp. The money you win from the game is necessary to
buy items and potion ingredients. |
