Is Asterix and the Secret Mission still worth playing in 2026?
Sega's third Asterix on Master System, Asterix and the Secret Mission sends the indomitable Gauls to carry out a secret mission across new settings. The title extends the series' flattering production, with big sprites and an animation full of character, and tends to the pacing of its platform levels. The well honed formula hardly innovates but stays effective and pleasant. For a retro platforming fan, an Asterix fan or someone curious about the console's fine technical showcases, the title keeps a well kept visual charm and pleasure.
