Previously Japan-exclusive Geppy-X Demo Now Live

We have been following the release of 70’s-Style Robot Anime Geppy-X, a remaster of the previously Japanese-exclusive shooter from developer Implicit Conversions and publisher Bliss Brain. The game is set for release in July, but a new demo, showcasing many of the remaster features, has just launched on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. The demo for Geppy-X is part of the ongoing Steam Bullet Fest and allows players to experience the main story through the end of Stage 4.

 

Originally released exclusively in Japan in 1999, Geppy-X is a unique fusion of classic 1970s super robot anime and fast-paced arcade-style side-scrolling shooter action. This worldwide HD remaster faithfully restores over 8,000 hand-drawn animation frames from the original Betacam master tapes while introducing modern quality-of-life features for today’s players.

 

Key features in the demo:

 

Fully restored HD animation sourced from the original Betacam master tapes

Original Japanese voice performances from a legendary cast of anime veterans

Fast-paced side-scrolling shooter gameplay with real-time mech transformation

Three distinct combat styles that can be switched during battle

Newly added subtitle support in multiple languages

Rewind functionality

Quick Save and Quick Load features

Additional remaster quality-of-life improvements
