Alright, so Asterix & Obelix Vs Caesar on Game Boy Color is basically a side-scrolling beat 'em up with some light puzzle-solving—like if you took the comics and mashed them into a classic arcade-style brawler. You pick either Asterix (fast but weaker) or Obelix (slow but wrecks everything) and just start punching Roman soldiers into the stratosphere. It’s dumb fun in the best way.

The first few levels throw you into the Gaulish village, smashing barrels for food (because of course Obelix is always hungry) and figuring out which doors lead to secret power-ups. The sprites are surprisingly vibrant for a GBC game, and the little animations—like Obelix casually tossing a Roman over his shoulder—nail the comic’s humor. The magic potion mechanic is neat too—gulp one down and you’re temporarily invincible, plowing through enemies like they’re made of wet parchment.

It’s not super deep, but it’s got that old-school charm where you just zone out and enjoy the chaos. Also, the soundtrack is weirdly catchy for something this goofy. If you ever wanted to live out the fantasy of two tiny Frenchmen humiliating an entire empire, this is your game.
