* SpiritualSuccessor: Of sorts, to ''VideoGame/GeppyX'' (itself being one to ''Anime/Gekiganger3''). They both pretend to be an old-school robot anime.

''[[http://vulkaiser.com Supercharged Robot Vulkaiser]]'', also spelled VULKAISER in all caps, is a HorizontalScrollingShooter developed by Astro Port (the makers of ''VideoGame/{{SATAZIUS}}'') and released on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} in Summer 2015. The game is made to be a huge pastiche of 70s and 80s [[SuperRobotGenre Super Robots]], especially ''Anime/MazingerZ'', ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'' and ''Anime/VoltesV'' (but there could be dozens of examples), complete with episode titles and big yellow English subtitles, in the form of a BulletHell shooter.

[[http://playism-games.com/game/243/witch-bot-meglilo Witch-Bot MEGLILO]] is another bullet hell game set in the same universe, this time a VerticalScrollingShooter. The wacky premise is that Meglilo, a MagicalGirl from the Magic Kingdom, gets killed during one of the battles between the Gogoh Army and the Supercharged Research Center, and Prof. Amamori himself rebuilds her in the form of a cyborg with huge firepower and the ability to stop time!

* AdjectiveNounFred: Supercharged Robot VULKAISER. Because that's how you name a giant robot anime.
* AffectionateParody: Of early robot anime. More affectionate than parody, actually!
* AnimeThemeSong: You can listen to it on the [[http://vulkaiser.com official site]]. And you can [[http://vulkaiser.com/media sing along]], too!

* BulletHell: Especially noticeable in higher difficulty levels.

* DestructiveSavior: The skyscrapers in the first level will be damaged and destroyed by your bullets. You can't avoid it, but it wouldn't have changed anything anyway.
* EvilKnockoff: The fourth boss, Supervillain Robot Warukaiger, is a bigger purple Vulkaiser armed with copies of the four modules ("waru" even means "bad" in Japanese). Beating it nets the achievement "Never Buy Bootlegs".

* RedshirtArmy: At one point in the final level [[spoiler:set inside Gogoh's humongous guts]] the Vulkaiser is surrounded by what remains of Earth's armies, inspired by the robot's tenacity to fight the enemy all together. They get all blown apart in seconds, levaing Vulkaiser to fight alone once again.

* SmartBomb: Every Kaiser module has a different Omega Weapon (not [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII that one]]) to blow up enemies and cancel the enemy bullets.

* FiveManBand: The [=VulFighters=] are one like in most mecha anime series, only here the fat guy is replaced by an old veteran, and the brooding cool guy by a brooding cool woman.

* BiggerBad: As it usually happens in this kind of anime, Roz is the leader of the Gogoh Army, but the real enemy and FinalBoss is [[spoiler:Gogoh himself/itself, the "Space Devil", a planet-sized monstrosity.]]
* {{Bishonen}} / DudeLooksLikeALady: General Roz, the leader of the Gogoh Army.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Of sorts, to ''VideoGame/GeppyX'' (itself being one to ''[[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Geki Ganga III]]''). They both pretend to be an old-school robot anime.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Of sorts, to ''VideoGame/GeppyX''. They both pretend to be an adaptation of a fictional old-school robot anime.
* ThisIsADrill: Drill Kaiser's weapon, and also the first boss' giant drill. Defeating him nets an achievement called "[[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann The drill that will pierce the heavens]]".

The basis of the gameplay is that at fixed points the Vulkaiser can combine with one of the other four Kaiser modules and gain new special attacks. You only have one life, and when one of the Kaisers is destroyed it is gone forever, but the robots are repaired in between levels, replenishing a bit of life.

* {{Bishonen}} / DudeLooksLikeALady: Roz, the leader of the Gogoh Army.

* ClicheStorm: That's exactly the point.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Level four is set in space, being Vulkaiser's travel from Earth to the Moon where the Gogoh base is located. At one point a fish-like shape appears in the background. [[spoiler:It's Gogoh, the real BiggerBad.]]
* HumanAliens / HornedHumanoid: Prince Roz, possibly as a homage to ''Voltes V'''s Boazanian people.

It's the year 1977 and the evil Gogoh Army from space is attacking Earth! Japan (and the entire planet)'s only hope comes from the Supercharged Research Center, who developed the CombiningMecha Vulkaiser to face the cosmic invaders. Go, Vulkaiser! Restore peace to the Earth!
