Grendizer is the first anime I've ever watched, around the end of the 70ies (in my native French). I've got the DVDs, the mangas and the Kana comic by Dorison/Bajram/Cossu/Sentenac/Guillo (name: Goldorak).
I've hesitated buying this game for a long time but a friend who got it told be it was a lot of fun.
He was so sure I would love it, he offered to give me the money for it (16 EUR, during the sales).
That was enough to convince me so I declined and I bought it immediately.

I'm glad I did.

The musics, the design, the story, the spirit of the thing ... I got goosebumps.
I've played for six hours straight and I've loved every minute of it. (I've spent the day humming various songs of the show.)
I explore everything fully and I expect my way requires a total of about ten hours to reach the end of the game. Rushers may do it in about seven hours.

The fights are relatively easy but I find them satisfying: dodge, counter, attack using Grendizer's various weapons.
As easy as it is, less that 8 percent players manage to win against the first boss. (You get one chance to do it as you are meant to flee in the end)
There are also shoot-them-up sections, both with the Spazer and small yellow ship of Koji Kabuto/Lance Hyatt/Alcor.

Among the achievements, one requires you to die: I've yet to get it.

I've read many complains about the technical state of the game.
I'm playing with a gamepad on a "small" 7600X / RX6650XT / 32GB / SSD and loading times are under 5 seconds and I've seldom noticed anything bad worth mentioning. Note that I'm playing on Proton/Linux.


If your are a gamer with any kind of love for the original material (a.k.a: a fan), this game is for you. Get it on a sale if you value the price/hours ratio but get it.

Overall, Grendizer is a solid game with a clear love and passion for its classic super robot source material. It’s also very much meant for fans of Grendizer, It also clearly needed more time for polish and GPU optimization .
cant wait for part 2 and 3 ;D (when all crow assembles )
please make it better and bigger.

This dev team is making a Cobra game next and I cannot wait to see how it turns out. Give them the Harlock license imo
