Asterix & Obelix Take On Caesar (French: Astérix & Obélix contre César) is an action video game developed by French studio Tek 5 and published by Cryo Interactive, which was released for the PlayStation, Game Boy Color and the PC.

Gameplay

The video game is based on the film Asterix & Obelix vs. Caesar.

Reception

According to French newspaper Les Échos, Cryo's Asterix & Obelix game was a commercial hit, with sales of 200,000 units on the PlayStation by December 1999.[1] By April 2000, this number had risen to 300,000 units.[2]

GameGuru was critical to its "simple" and "boring" gameplay, citing the example in which the players have to catch flying objects (such as fish or baked pigs) and bring them to the table in Gaul's village.[3] Likewise, Hardcore Gaming 101 was critical to its "repetitive" gameplay "based on running and fetching objects", such as "serving wild boars to village people" or "fetching misteltoes from trees".[4]
