Play Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 - Mission Wifix (E)(Legacy) Online

Punch Romans into orbit as Asterix and Obelix, solve goofy puzzles between brawls, and hunt for hidden chickens in levels packed with dumb jokes. It’s clunky in that charming DS-era way, but hurling soldiers through buildings never stops being ridiculous.

Game Overview

I picked up Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Wifix back in 2006 when it came out on the Nintendo DS, published by Atari. It was one of those licensed games that felt very much of its time, a side-scrolling beat 'em up that tried to make the most of the dual screens and touch controls. You don't see many games like this anymore, built specifically for that hardware.

You control either Asterix or Obelix, switching between them to use their unique abilities; Asterix is quicker and uses his sword, while Obelix is a powerhouse who can throw men and objects. The main goal is to fight through waves of Romans, solve environmental puzzles to progress, and collect tons of hidden trophies and scrolls scattered in each level. The combat is simple but satisfying, especially when you build up a combo, and the puzzles break up the action without slowing things down too much. It can get a bit repetitive after a while, but the humor and constant visual gags keep it light. It feels like playing through a silly, interactive cartoon.
