The second Asterix game on the system is solid if slightly weaker than its predecessor. Good level design and dependable controls make it a worthy follow-up for fans.

Is Asterix and the Great Rescue still worth playing in 2026?
A sequel to the Gaulish adventures on Master System, Asterix and the Great Rescue launches Asterix and Obelix on a grand expedition to free friends captured by the Romans. The title keeps the series' careful production, with handsome scenery and expressive animation, while offering longer, more varied levels. The gameplay stays a classic platformer, sometimes uneven in its level design. For a retro platforming fan, an Asterix fan or someone curious about Sega's late catalogue, the title keeps a visual charm and a pleasant adventure.
