App Review: Asterix Megaslap

Asterix Megaslap is a game for iPad/iPhone and Android based on the French comic Asterix The Gaul. It includes comical illustrations and is a fun concept, although hurts your finger to continuously rotate your finger to fill the power gauge to the maximum, a iPad stylus is recommended to assist your gameplay.  Disappointedly the areas, are ridiculously tedious and repetitive, as your flying character keeps departing and returning to the same areas. Secondly there is only one playable character as Asterix, as there is no appearance by Obelix, accept as a collectible character token, and think he should be added as a playable character. Basically the objective of the game, is for Asterix to send a Roman soldier flying through the air, with your strong muscles, as progressively level up, you earn upgrades and power-ups to send him flying further, overall I think a application update should be added, which adds new playable characters from the series and new areas to fly to.
