Thus, the newly developed transforming and combining combat robot GEPPY-X was deployed into action.Never before released outside of Japan, 70’s-Style Robot Anime GEPPY-X will now be available to play worldwide!A love letter to Japanese mecha anime from the 70’s, this fast-paced 2D side-scrolling shooter has undergone a transformation of its own.

Considering the high asking price of 70s Robot Anime Geppy-X on eBay, it’s nice that it has a wider release. The nostalgic factor is the game’s best point. But I wish they packaged it better, with more emphasis on highlighting what made the game unique. At its current price point, I would wait for a sale. But once it’s discounted 50%, then this is a must-try.3 found this helpful
As someone who owned the original game, 2 animation cels from the cutscenes, and had already beaten the game 3 times before this was announced... This is legit a dream come true remaster. It was in my top 5 ps1 games -before- it was even translated. Absolutely fantastic experience, play it any way you can!2 found this helpful
A decent 90s shmup that makes up for some fairly muddy visual design and clunky controls with Classic Super Robot Love And Guts in spades. Being able to cycle through Geppy's 3 forms on the fly is fun and each one is engagingly distinct, though the game does suffer at times from low-contrast attacks and muddy hit/hurtboxes. Also I want a Girl Team Mode, you sexist cowards. Not an amazing shmup in its own right, but holds a lot of charm for anyone who enjoys both shmups and Super Robot Wars. 3/5 stars1 found this helpful
i played this for the 70's robot homages. it gave me that in spades.1 found this helpful
I hardly disagree with people calling it a parody. This game is a nostalgic love letter to the golden age of Mecha anime. If you've been a fan of old anime (more precisely VERY old anime by today's standards), you will enjoy all the small details, every remark, and even silly adverts because all of them reflect many trends of that time. Apart from obvious Go Nagai titles like Getter Robo, Mazinger, Grendizer, and even Devilman in the ending, you will find tons of Gundam references, including Zaku-inspired enemies, and even the one and only Shuichi Ikeda (Red Comet Char) as one of the villains. Even a Tetsujin 28 reference in the form of Type 64. The seiyu cast and the singers in the soundtrack are also legendary and clearly pay homage to the long-gone era. Yes, it is a remaster of the PS1 game. Yes, you can still emulate it if you find it. Yes, the price is high, although I would argue that there are at least 3 distinct playthroughs in terms of story and many extra modes that can engage you in the game for at least 5 or more hours. And as a non-pro in scroll shooters, it was quite challenging for me in terms of difficulty. If you don't know at least half of the titles I've mentione…
Absolutely recommended. A fun shmup, and most importantly a love letter to the anime I grew up with and still love to this day. The gameplay is fluid, there are no major bugs or issues, the story is tropey like it should be and absurdly self aware of its own campiness. MAKE MORE GAMES LIKE THIS.
