I wanted to make a little trip down to memory lane and recapitulate Astérix presence in the gaming market, while probably presenting some titles weren't released everywhere thus turning them a bit underground: In fact, Astérix is one of these characters that, despite of being a creation of another media, I strong associte him to gaming regional, I suppose? And while I can't say for its popularity here in Brazil as well, at least I got to create memories with the cartoons, the old live action movies and of course video games!. The franchise never took off in North America, as far I'm aware, as the humor is very. It's full of old and tired cartoon tropes and exagered expressions, but a classic nonetheless. This year we're getting a new Astérix game! Astérix & Obélix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir is releasing in all platforms on November 21th and I am quite excited about it, even though the game doesn't seem as ambitious as previous titles in the XXL trilogy.Īstérix, for whose don't know, it's the little Gaul guy from the french comics created by Albert Uderzo and René Goscinny Alongside his trust friend Obélix and his dog Dogmatix they usually fight against the tirany of Romans, while powered by an old magic potion receipt of their village. Hi Era! First time creating a thread and I wanted to bring something unique to talk about!
