Yes, it seems that they sent all those texts for localization unsure if they would need all of them or add them along the way
Which means localization was probably made not at the end of development
Obelix also supposed to fight with Menhir? Damn, so many cut content.
XXL was already in a rush with its development they cut loooot of content there
You can even see how short Rome location is
there is literally one section and lame arena fights with bunch of enemies just to slow down your gameplay to the end
You're right, I'm not even talking about length of the game.
the length of the game is alright
the game does a great job with keeping you entertained
in childhood this game felt like 100 hours long game lol
the target audience of this game also were kids by most part
That's also true, but I'm referring here to general length of 8 to 16 hours of simple action adventure games of the era.
There is no RPG elements, so it's even more short than usual.
There are some GC games that you can beat under 2 hours, it's laughable.
i mean there are plenty of modern games that offer you from 10-16 hours of gameplay which is pretty normal
i have seen adventure games that are 2-4 hours long
pretty long i dont remember how much
