Asterix and the Power of the Gods (French title: Astérix et le pouvoir des dieux) is a 1995 2D action platformer video game exclusively for the Sega Genesis.

Summary

This video game is based on the comic book series Asterix.^[2]

In Gaul (where modern-day France would be today), the leader of the Gauls - Vercingetorix - was defeated by Julius Caesar and his Roman army.^[2] The shield was lost to the invading Romans and Asterix must liberate the shield from their control.^[2] Players must guide Asterix through different levels in this 2D platforming game.^[2] An isometric map is used to enter different levels.^[2] Asterix has the ability to run, jump, and defeat enemies by directly hitting them.^[2]

Players can talk to non-player characters just like in a role-playing game. Other people's houses can also be visited in search of clues.
