Galaxy Deka Gayvan PC Engine CD Reproduction
Earth is the most beautiful planet in the galaxy, and its peaceful existence is threatened by the criminal mastermind Ballas. The galaxy police sends two agents to deal with the threat: Hiro Aoyama and Michiko Akasaka, who can transform into the powerful super-fighters Gayvan and Mittchi, respectively, and are alone able to stop Ballas.
Galaxy Deka Gayvan is a brawler. Players can choose to control either of the two heroes, or both of them in a co-op mode. Like in other beat-em-up games, the player must defeat all the enemies on screen in hand-to-hand combat before being able to proceed. Both Hiro and Michiko can accumulate special energy (dropped by the enemies along with health power-ups and money) that allows them to transfer into the superheroes Gayvan and Mittchi and stay in that form until they run out of energy. The superhero forms are stronger and are able to execute special attacks.
In addition, a two-player versus fighting mode is included. Players can choose either the protagonists or three enemy characters to compete against each other in one-on-one fighting.
Galaxy Deka Gayvan (Galaxy Detective Gayvan) is a hidden gem of a Beat Em Up for the system. While it may seem cute, and you may be limited to one plane of movement more akin to a typical action-platform game, you have the ability of transforming into a powered suit and a wealth of special moves. The moves can be a little tricky to pull off but once you realize they operate generally more like a VS fighting game (e.g. Street Fighter II etc.) you’ll soon be kicking some butt with a little practice. It’s also good to think outside the box as some of these start with pressing up before you roll forward and down for example. A surprisingly deep fighting system, challenging enemy AI, nice graphics and sound are a breath of fresh air for any PCE fan who thought they’ve played everything. Also note, another translation this goes by is Galaxy Keiji Gayvan.
