70s Robot Anime Geppy-X - Full Game, No Deaths
70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X is a shmup that was originally developed and published by Aroma for the PS1 back in 1999. Now in 2026, publisher Bliss Brain and developer Implicit Conversions have brought Geppy back with an English translation and a full remaster, including rescans of the original Betacam master tapes of the anime scenes, with optional upscaling (which I have turned on in this playthrough). They've included lots of other modern features too, like save states, rewind, CRT filters, and so on. I feel like they gave this remaster the attention it deserves - they were clearly trying to deliver the best product possible, and it doesn't feel lacking in any area.Geppy isn't your typical shmup though. It's a parody aimed squarely at fans of old Showa-era tokusatsu and anime, much more so than hardcore shmup fans. It's full of references to classic properties, like Ultraman, Mazinger-Z, Devilman, Godzilla, Gamera, Gundam, and so on. They went absolutely all out on creating this fictitious "Geppy-X" mecha franchise, from producing an anime, to creating toys and commercials for it that they use as breaks in the gameplay. The presentation is really top notch. I'm sure the nostalgic vibes hit home a lot harder with Japanese people who grew up around all of this stuff, but even casual fans of these old shows like me can appreciate how well done it is.
The shmup itself is fine. Like I said, it's not made for hardcore shmup fans to dig into, but it's still fun to play casually. It controls well, has a fun gimmick of a transforming robot to play as (each of its three forms has 4 different attacks), and it has nice pixel art in a lot of places. Even the simplistic pre-rendered PS1-era CG works with the old school robot design. You have an HP bar, so you can take plenty of hits without dying, which offsets how hard it can be to tell where your hitbox is, or when you get hit by bullets you didn't see for one reason or another. Plus, you even have invincibility when you change forms, so you can use that to get through difficult attacks or to move behind bosses. It's very forgiving, as it should be. This game is for people who enjoy the presentation first and foremost, so they can have fun with the game without getting beat down by a more demanding shmup. There are countless other options for that, but there's only one Geppy!
The game is presented in an anime format. Each episode has an opening, a midpoint break (with a "commercial"), an ending, and a preview of the next episode. One interesting thing about this is that you can actually change how the story plays out by picking which character you defeat the episode 4 boss with. To accommodate this, they actually shipped the original game on 4 discs, with each one containing a different branch in the story. That's pretty nuts on its own, but I can just imagine how annoying it would be to replay this a bunch of times on the PS1. That whole process is automated and painless in the remaster, of course.
There are also 6 extra modes, but one of them is a boss rush, and the other 5 are basically just an alternate character you can play through the game with. Each extra mode has its own storyline, but there's far less breaks in the action, so they're the best things to play if you just want to play the shmup (the alt characters are generally weaker than the Geppy, so it can be harder to clear the game with them, too). It's kinda strange that it doesn't have a pure arcade mode, but this is the next best thing. I get it though, since originally, no single disc had all of the stages on it. They probably figured it's not worth bothering with, but maybe that would be a neat extra feature they could have put into this remaster.
Honestly, I never even heard of this game before this remaster was announced. It's a real oddball not only for a shmup, but just in gaming in general. I'm really glad they picked this one out for a remaster, and they did a great job with it. Geppy-X is available now on Steam, Switch, PS4/5, and even Xbox, so nobody's left out if they want to give it a shot (Switch & PS5 have a physical version in Japan, at least. I'm not sure about overseas).
Some will scoff at the price ($39.99 standard, with a 10% launch discount right now), but considering how much work went into restoring this game and translating it (there's a lot of text), I think it's fair. Shmups tend to target a very small niche, so boutique pricing for special projects isn't unusual. To be fair, I was given a key for coverage, but I think this game is worth it if you're in its fairly specific target demographic. I enjoyed it a lot, but it definitely won't hit for everyone. Besides, paying 40 bucks for the remaster beats paying the ~$300 it goes for on PS1, right?
