Paris, December 2nd 2021 – Microids is delighted to announce the release of Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! on consoles, the PC version coming very soon. To celebrate this exciting launch, a roman slapping trailer has been published!

 

The famous Gauls Asterix and Obelix are back and have already started distributing slaps on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One! The PC version will follow closely on December 7th! Join them for an exciting adventure panning across iconic locations from the comic books like the Gaul countryside, Egypt and even Hispania!

 

About Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All!


Be prepared to prove your bravery! Asterix and Obelix: Slap them All! is set in 50 B.C.E. Gaul, which is entirely occupied by the Romans. Only one small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. Play as Asterix and Obelix and set sail to the most iconic places in the comic book series while battling Roman legionaries, pirates, brigands and even the dreaded Normans.

 

Mr Nutz Studio has been hard at work developing Asterix and Obelix: Slap them All!, making this adventure as faithful to the original material as possible. The developers chose to go with an artistic direction very close to the comic book where the characters, the scenery and the animations are hand drawn. It’s a real tribute to the 2D animated classics and is executed in a style that will surely appeal to Asterix fans and retro gamers alike.
 

Unlike Getafix’s magic potion, there is no secret ingredient to the gameplay besides good, old-fashioned fun. Think about the core mechanics defining the beat’em up genre and sprinkle with some local co-op! By Jupiter, by Teutates.. These Gauls are crazy!
