This game seems to be a parody from one of most famous and legendary Super Robot anime created by Nagai Go in the decade of 70's. Anyway, if you're looking for an Individual Getta Robo
game, Geppy X is a shooter that looks like a cross between R-Type and the Capcom Classic Section Z with colorful sprite and polygonal based characters and enemies.
The player controls 6 different robots dependent on the scenario. Each one has a main weapon which can be charged up and made more powerful, a secondary weapon which is more of an assist weapon, and each robot is capable of a super attack when you powergauge fills up.

CHARACTERS:
- Kei: Pilot of Geppy X1. He's similar with Ryouma in Getta Robo and Getta Robo G series, a brave and hot blooded person, plus the fact that Kei also voiced by Kamiya Akira (Saeba Ryou of City Hunter, Mouri Kogoro of Metantei Conan, also done Nagare Ryouma for Getta Robo and Getta Robo G)
- Jin: Pilot of Geppy X2. Similar with Hayato, in Getta Robo series. Only, he got a long hair and he's also a "Woman Killer" type man. Still, he's a cool guy.
- Riki: Pilot of Geppy X3. Similar with Musashi from original Getta Robo series,only, he didn't wear a cape & sword and he speak in Kansai - Ben.
- Dr. Kureishi: The creator of Geppy X, VERY DIFFERENT attitude and look with professor Saotome in Getta Robo. Anyway, did...Kureishi mean "Crazy".
- Kyou: "Female version" of Kei, an energetic person and Tomboyish girl as well
- Suzu: The Incho (Class Leader) during Kei's Senior highschool age, looks like she's have a special feeling with Kei
- Romi: An Idol Singer, which surprised all of Geppy team's member when she's joined (because Kei and Jin, are her fans)
- Mio: Pilot of Queen Fairy, (daughter of Professor Kureishi?) have sweet attitude, and often serve Geppy team. She don't resembles Saotome Michiru afterall....
- Lord of Darkness Devin: Leader of Uchuu Akuma Teikoku, and the person behind everything, he'll be your last opponent.
- Hisser: This woman is one of Uchuu Akuma teikoku's leader, have a tragic love story with Jin
- Jyag: Another leader in Devin's army, wearing mask. A Char Aznable parody????
ROBOTS:
- Geppy X: Your playable robot during 4 first episode and first half of episode 5, just like Getta Robo, it has 3 different types depend of formation, Balance (Geppy X1), Speed (Geppy X2) and power (Geppy X3), anyway all of player will used Geppy X1 more often than the other formation because it's fast and controlable X's beam similar to Getter Robo's infamous Getter beam)
- Geppy Double X: The replacement of the former Geppy X, you'll acquired this robot since
the 2nd half of Episode 5. Consist of 3 formation too: Geppy Fire (Balance) Geppy Thunder (Speed) and Geppy Tornado (Power). Have better status and Super compared with original Geppy X1 for Geppy Fire, unfortunately.....The Geppy Thunder's super move become NOT as useful as Geppy X2's super because it's limited range and already lose it's ability to "Chase" the enemy and destroy all the enemy in the screen
- Queen Fairy: Geppy X and Double X's support unit, pilloted by Mio. She'll appeared after you grab a special item. She'll deliver some free extra health and status upgrade items for you.
- Wild John: A cowboy robot from america, almost similar with Texas Mack in Getta Robo series, as with queen fairy, he'll appeared after you got a special item, but it's not as useful as queen fairy, cuz he's only send some projectile shoot into your enemy and then leave.
- Atlanger: A Grandizer like robot with "mazinger-like" face. have same function with Wild John. Anyway, why the creator of this game add a Grandizer like robots? is that because there's a team-up movie between Getta Robo G, Grandizer and Mazinger?
- R-64 Robo: A comic relief on this game, imagine!!! die suddenly before hurt his enemy!!!!
anyway, it's also playable later in the game, and I believe you'll feel that it's speed will overhelmed you....cuz it's way to slow.......
- R-74 Robo: New and better upgrade version of R-64, have better speed, weapon, even can also transformed into a plane, anyway...why it's only got 50 Pts more for armor point?
