Asterix & Obelix Kick Buttix (XXL) with Chas! Pangburn (ChasExclamationPoint.com)

Holy Gallic mayhem, comic crusaders! This week on Play Comics, we’re trading our Roman shields for DualShock controllers as we dive headfirst into the digital disaster that is Asterix & Obelix Kick Buttix for PS2 and Xbox – because apparently someone at Étranges Libellules thought the best way to honor René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo’s beloved comic masterpiece was to trap our favorite mustachioed warriors in a 3D brawler with combat mechanics more repetitive than Obelix’s “These Romans are crazy!” catchphrase.

Released in 2003 as Asterix & Obelix XXL in Europe before getting the wonderfully ridiculous “Kick Buttix” rebrand for American audiences, this licensed adventure promised players the chance to experience authentic Gallic village life while punching approximately 70 Romans per level across 40 different stages of cartoon chaos. What it actually delivered was a gaming experience so mindlessly button-mashy that even Caesar would file a complaint with customer service about the repetitive gameplay loop.

Joining us for this Roman-bashing bonanza is the incomparable Chas! Pangburn – a man who when he’s not busy lettering the actual Asterix comics from the depths of his creative dungeon, brings his insider knowledge of what makes these characters tick both on the page and in polygonal form. His expertise in both the source material and the art of comic creation makes him the perfect guide through this particular journey from panel to PlayStation.

So grab your magic potion and prepare for an episode that’s more entertaining than actually grinding through the same three enemy types for hours on end – which, let’s face it, isn’t exactly setting the bar at Vercingétorix levels. Will this portable Gallic adventure redeem itself through sheer nostalgic charm and cartoon physics, or will it crash harder than a Roman chariot race gone wrong? Tune in to discover if this comic adaptation belongs in the Hall of Fame… or should be buried deeper than one of those references that you’ll only catch if you read this in French!

Learn such things as:

• Can a video game really handle the comedic timing that makes Asterix comics so brilliant?
• How do you translate cartoon physics into actual game mechanics without breaking the universe?
• Do magic potions even come with flavor options?
• And so much more!

Technically you can find Chas! on BlueSky @chasexclamation.bsky.social but you’d have a much better time checking out Double Booking and any of the other wonderful work he puts his hands on over at Papercutz. Or just check out his website at ChasExclamationPoint.com

Smurf fans, mushroom dwellers, and plastic comic enthusiasts, lend me your ears! This week on Play Comics, we’re taking a hard look at one of the most mind-bogglingly bizarre video game adaptations to ever grace the original PlayStation – The Smurfs from 1999. That’s right, we’re diving headfirst into the small blue world where the air is crisp, the mushrooms are plentiful, and the gameplay is…well, let’s just say it’s an experience.

But we’re not going it alone, oh no! Joining us is the one and only Mike Clyburn from the wildly popular podcast The Twisted Cape. Mike’s no stranger to twisted tales and bizarre adventures, so we knew he’d be the perfect tour guide through this cobalt-colored carnival of chaos.

Prepare yourselves for tales of sinister wizards, hapless heroes, and more collectible items than you can smurfing shake a stick at. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll question the very nature of our existence. But most of all, we’ll have a smurftastic time exploring this true relic of gaming’s awkward adolescence.

So grab your favorite mushroom cap, take a deep breath of that crisp smurf air, and join us for an episode that’s bound to be…unforgettable. It’s going to be one wild smurf ride!

Learn such things as:

• Are there actually different Smurfs?
• How can we judge a game made for small children?
• What does a Smurf taste like?
• And so much more!

You can find Mike on Twitter @TheTwistedCape, send them an email @[email protected] and their website The Twisted Cape. Or check out the D&D stuff on Twitter @TeamCLOKpod and their email @[email protected].
