About this game

Astérix & Obélix XXL on the Game Boy Advance features the same story as its console/PC counterpart, but presents the 3D platformer gameplay in new and different levels rendered in an engine tailored to the handheld platform.

Asterix & Obelix: Kick Buttix is an action platformer starring Asterix and Obelix on a mission to save their captured friends from the Roman Empire. The gameplay consists of the ability to switch between Asterix and Obelix at different times, using each one's skills to your advantage. Through the adventure, you will unlock and gain powerful combos and attack moves. This large adventure takes you through six different countries made up of 47 areas, totaling 40 plus levels. The gameplay is varied from battling hundreds of Romans at once to riding/racing sequences and puzzle-solving. The graphics have vibrant colors, picturesque backgrounds, exciting special effects, and humorous animations. The sound includes zany effects, a range of music from roman to Egyptian, and good-humored voice acting.

The story of the game involves Asterix and Obelix returning to their village in Gaul, after a day of hunting. They come to find that all their fellow village people have been captured. Along with their capture is also the theft of their magic potion, a potion that gives them superhuman strength. Caesar has captured the Gauls and spread them out to the furthest corners of the Roman Empire. Asterix and Obelix must find and free their friends and get the potion before it reaches Caesar.
