Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All 2 - Review 

Let me guess, it doesn't play like Dark Souls so the combat is bad? lol. wow the reviewer is such a tough guy lol. i was considering on passing up this game but since the reviewer is Dark Souls ******, I'm definitely buying this!

It is on my shopping list already. Loved the 1st (albeit the repetitive nature) but I'm a huge Asterix fan so it is hard not to want such a gorge (😅) love letter to my childhood

In the first one, swinging a guy other Asterix's head quickly decreased your special meter. This is no longer the case?!!! Who thought this would be a good idea?

Hi Savino! is there any Asterix and Obelix video game worth buying for PS4?

Hi Savino There are a few Asterix & Obelix games on the Switch. Are ANY of them decent beat-em-ups?

There is so much content and beautiful art & animations, they should have definitely mixed up the gameplay, perhaps some adventure style puzzles & exploring, RPG-like quests, some platforming, some rail-shooting and mini-games; that way it would have gone way further, especially if that would break up linear design, because there's an overload of potential and already available graphical resources in the game.

Thank you for that review, I was almost considering on getting the game before watching your review.

Looks like fun

This takes me back. Loved Asterix on the master system. You ever play it, Santino?

Such a shame! I loved the art in the first game and I was hoping they'd improve the gameplay in the sequel. Guess I'll play Streets of Rage 4 again.

It's a pity... the old arcade game, is still not beaten

Sad😑 by the way, had you tried to pick barrels and throw them? It seems it's one the few new additions to this game.

Support ❤🎉

The game looks almost identical to the first . Maybe there are a few more frames? If so; it os barely noticeable.

You mention no drop-in coop as a downside. I personally thought that feature was useless and just an unnecessary relic of the arcade days, but maybe that feature is appealing to some. Maybe I'm just a boring guy who plans ahead whether he'll play alone or with someone. I'm curious why this feature is desirable to you. When your kid unexpectedly shows up, maybe? I'm asking because that feature was present in the old Zabu, but we did not plan to readd it to the new one, as it brings a lot of complexity (being able to select your character during gameplay, readjusting the difficulty for an extra player, avoiding loopholes...).

I liked the first one. To me the main issue was extending it for hours.....same levels with different colours and of course....no beat em up can last hours and hours because it´s just to repetitive. I was excited for this sequel but it seems to be the same game with different levels. The characters look the same and most of the enemies I´ve seen are also the same, looks like a DLC. I am not a fan of games that do that, besides fighting games. Good review, this is a pass and instead will be looking forward to Toxic Crusaders and also interested in the Phantom game but I need to see it in action.

"They will poke you when you least expect it" Well, Hydetaka Miyazaki would be so proud of this Asterix&Obelix game, because that is the typical souls like gameplay formula so far.😏 I knew it that you would have reviewed this epic title as well Savino bro, it's not a masterpiece but as an european myself, I am very pleased of this trans-alpine beat'em up game nevertheless.👏🏻 Our french neighbours did an outstanding job out there imho, but apparently it was not enough though. Besides, as an italian myself "the good neighbour one", It would be my duty, and definitely fair also to talk about the structural bad sides of it either right?😏 So, without further ado: 1) This is the second episode and still no online multiplayer mode, I mean seriously mon amis? 2) the foes are pratically as same as the previous game, although they added new locations, hmmm ok? 3) the moves are essentially very similar to the previous game, a copy&paste of them, they could add new ones and specials though imho. 4) nerfing Obelix making him more slower and predictable on his moves patterns, was a bad touch as well as being unexcusable on any level, also you can only select either Asterix or Obelix as a playable charas, no new ones though, is that all really? This title it is good nonetheless, so I am expecting the devs to make further improvements eventually!🤙🏻Mastercrafted review my brazialian bro!👏🏻 Now, on to The Last Faith next, don't let me down with it my man.😎

such a shame.. the animation is TOP NOTCH. I so wish they improved the combat this time around. Such beautiful animations and drawings. What a missed opportunity. I was so excited for this because I thought the developers would make the necessary improvements from this first one.

Hahha love the memes already

I'm starting to think that anything published by Microids is just rushed trash. They just get the rights to a popular license and then just churn out shovelware to try and make a quick buck. It's a shame as this game clearly has talented artists on the team whose efforts are being wasted.

Seen a few gamplay videos in English so nit syre what your problem is with the game, I think you forgot to mention all the new stuff in the game like new moves and barrels. For me the furst one were fun pling up the Romans smto build that combo meter on the hardest dufficulty. Sure music is just okay but dont forget that the Switch cant handle these beautiful graphix so Steam,xbx or playstation versions is going to run way smoother😊 so far what I can see they overuse characters in the backgrounds in some stages wich doesnt look Great but im still exited.

I already passed the first one, because of the really bad reviews. But, like you, I had high hopes for the second one thinking that the devs have learned from their mistakes. Sad to see that this is not the case.

I used to love the comics and movies for Asterix, which makes seeing such a pretty game have bad gameplay TWICE very disappointing.

Man, that is sad. As a European and Asterix-fan it's harsh to see a game look SO good, but then hear it seems to play worse and be much duller than even the old Asterix side-scrolling platform games for the SNES / Mega Drive. But a game where I just reuse one move over and over and over again is one I can easily pass up in favor of some more Double Dragon.

I always see this game as a beat em up recommendation but never watched anything on it besides from you lol.

Fiest game was a terrible beat em up.. It just 'felt' wrong. Hopefully this one is better.

Second time round and they still mess it up, the 1st game was so boring and the hit connection was bad this just looks the same

Already Konami arcade is the best by far.😅

🦾💪

This game is very disappointing ! The first game was much better gameplay wise. They took away the power punch combos. They have decreased the hitbox, you keep missing enemies, keep not grabbing that barrel and you get stunned all the time by that sword jumping enemy. It's just super annoying and disappointing !

Maybe all the slap based beat em ups need to stop, even slaps and beans wasn't all that impressive, maybe the jay and silent bob game will be the next great looking beat em up with third similar art style
