"Released in 1999, 70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X is a sideways shoot-em-up about blasting mechanical space fiends. A competent enough shmup, what established as a cult classic in Japan was its lovingly-crafted send-ups of '70s anime, such as Getter Robo and. An ever escalating robo-opera divided between episodes, with mean robot bosses, increasingly absurd transformations and suffocatingly tight disco speedsuits."
"The four-disc (count 'em, four) release also held a Saturday morning's worth of cartoons. Not only the FMV theatrics of the brave, but mock commercials for toys, shampoo and parodies of other vintage anime."
"Now 70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X is getting an official remastered Steam release, its first time leaving Japan. In addition to new localized language offerings, this remaster also restores the full-motion cutscenes, having digitized the original master tapes."
Robot Anime Geppy-X is a sideways shoot-em-up released in 1999 for PlayStation that became a cult classic in Japan for its lovingly-crafted parodies of 1970s anime series like Getter Robo. The game features an escalating robo-opera with absurd transformations, tight disco-themed aesthetics, and increasingly difficult robot bosses. The original four-disc release included full-motion video theatrics, mock commercials for toys and shampoo, and parodies of vintage anime. Now receiving its first official international release on Steam, the remaster restores full-motion cutscenes by digitizing original master tapes and adds new localized language options, making this retro spoof accessible to audiences who may never have encountered the 1970s anime it parodies.
