Denshattack! Reviews
Denshattack! proves that it's still possible to innovate in video games with a completely unexpected idea. While its steep learning curve and unapologetically arcade-focused design won't appeal to everyone, players who enjoy mastering mechanics and chasing high scores will find a rewarding and refreshing experience.

It is not hyperbole when I say that every single level introduced a new creative idea to keep things fresh. Telling a cautionary tale of climate change and ruthless corporations juxtaposed with human ingenuity, it is imbued with an undeniable charisma. I cannot underestimate how much love is put into Denshattack! With deep reverence to classics like Sonic Adventure and Jet Set Radio, it built on those foundations to create one of the most endlessly fun games of the year.
Denshattack! is undoubtedly one of the best games of 2026. This colorful and intense train adventure had me smiling the entire time as I overcame impossible obstacles, faced giant robots, and turned my rivals into allies like something out of a shonen anime. It's a wonderful experience filled with great music and spectacular moments that you simply can't miss.

Denshattack!" is mostly a lot of fun, though perfect runs are challenging and demanding.

Denshattack is a wacky, over the top experience that demands your full attention and offers plenty of replay value. I will say, though, that for as absurd and fast paced as it is (and believe me, I love my games when they’re completely ridiculous), it throws a few too many mechanics and reflex checks at you all at once, all while expecting you to squeeze in trick combos during a run. It can be a bit overwhelming and frustrating at times, but the game is just so damn charming that it’s somewhat easy to overlook most of its flaws.
Denshattack! simply rules, with imaginative and creative levels and bombastic bosses. It looks and sounds fantastic, plays great on Deck, and is something entirely new.
Denshattack! delivers fun, excitement, and a significant challenge for all arcade game fans, thanks to a unique presentation, excellent music, and refined levels and mechanics that make the experience's frenetic pace a real joy.

I expected to like the game, but I did not expect the extent to which it surprised me, and I am all the more glad for it. Denshattack isn’t just a great game, it’s guaranteed to be some people’s all-time favorite.
Part Tony Hawk, part Crazy Taxi, and part roller coaster ride, this is a high-intensity action title that packs in a ton of fun and surprises
Denshattack is as compelling as it is ridiculous, with so many mechanics to master, so many rails to grind, and so many trains to flip.
It is almost impossible not to be enamored by a game as delightful as Denshattack! A game with mechanics that get deeper the more you invest, and genuinely seems to believe in a better world. It’s an absolute joy and not to be missed.
Denshattack! turns trains into trick-performing thrills with stylish visuals, breathtaking arcade gameplay, and an energetic soundtrack. There are a few minor quirks and features that could make it more stylish, but Denshattack! is one of the year’s most creative and exciting indie games.
Denshattack! is one of the most original, wild, and surprising games I've played in a long time. Its premise might seem like a joke, but Undercoders has turned it into an incredibly fun, precise, and creative arcade game. It features excellent level design, a wide variety of scenarios, and plenty of replay value. One of the surprises of 2026.

Denshattack! is fun, fresh, vibrant, stylish, bold, joyous, and effortlessly cool; an adrenaline-fueled adventure of defiance and friendship, brimming with hope and heart. What a great game. This is a masterclass of design and mechanics, inspired by its differences and uniqueness.
Denshattack!! is a great arcade platformer with clear inspiration from Tony Hawk. The exaggerated style fits the unique and energetic gameplay perfectly and the game brings a surprising amount of levels considering its tight design. If you find the idea behind the game at least somewhat interesting, you should give it a try. Personally, Denshattack!! rivals Yoshi and the Mysterious Book as my favourite game experience of the year.

Denshattack! combines Tony Hawk with Japanese-inspired stylings in a fun-as-hell romp across a future version of the country. You'll race gangs, corporations, and even fate itself as a little engine that could, thanks to the power of friendship, rainbow tracks, and a (sometimes overwhelming) variety of gameplay mechanics.
‘Denshattack!’ is so crazy that it could only be set in Japan: this train-based trick-shot racing game is a colourful, completely mad ride and is full of surprises.

What initially sparked my curiosity with its absurdity quickly turned out to be one of the most entertaining games I've played this year: Denshattack! is the perfect combination of games like Jet Set Radio, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Skate while simultaneously being so stylish, colorful and fast-paced that it's often difficult to grasp everything that's happening at once. The game never lets you catch your breath thanks to it introducing new mechanics, mission structures and gameplay elements regularely. Especially if you're aiming for gold medals in the various levels and chasing high scores there's endless hours of fun waiting for you. Plus the awesome soundtrack is perfectly tailored to the game and its visual style and just slaps.

The latest offering from developer Undercoders is neither expected nor simple. Each time I thought I had Denshattack!’s gameplay or narrative pinned down, I was delightfully lurched in another screeching direction. There are a few key stops that Denshattack! makes during its nine-part tale that — no spoilers — make this well worth your time, and it boasts a vibrant world and cast of characters who have something critical to say.
