Denshattack! is an arcade game developed by Undercoders and distributed by Fireshine Games and Boltray Games. Traveling through Japan aboard a train might seem normal, but in Denshattack! trains are more than just a means of transportation. Following the journey of Emi and Fernando, you'll encounter customizable trains capable of performing radical maneuvers as they travel along tracks that challenge the player with drifts and jumps, as well as formidable enemies to defeat, all at a frenetic pace. Assemble a group of misfit and charismatic characters to defeat the evil Miraido corporation and become a legendary Denshattacker.
Denshattack! turns a ridiculous premise into a surprisingly solid, addictive and personality-packed arcade experience. Its blend of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Jet Set Radio and Japanese trains works far better than it has any right to.

Denshattack! is one of those ideas that seem crazy on paper but ultimately prove that there is still room in video games for concepts capable of surprising us. Undercoders manages to turn a stunt-performing train into a fun, deep arcade game with immense personality, where every jump and combo invites us to keep improving. It may not be for every player due to its demanding learning curve, but those who connect with the game will find a unique title the kind that stays with you long after you’ve finished it.

Denshattack! transforms an unlikely concept, performing skateboard tricks with high-speed trains, into one of the year's most inventive indie experiences. Its satisfying trick system, varied boss encounters, stylish presentation, vibrant visuals, and excellent soundtrack create a gameplay loop that remains consistently engaging, while more than 50 stages and numerous optional objectives provide strong replay value. The story, however, relies on familiar battle shonen tropes and forgettable characters, serving mostly as a backdrop for the action. Despite its narrative shortcomings, Denshattack! delivers an original and addictive gameplay experience that stands out through creativity and execution.

Denshattack! arrives as a wonderful surprise in all the right ways. It provides hours of explosive goofy fun, immaculate visuals, an amazing soundtrack, and more, resulting in a truly entertaining and memorable experience.
Denshattack! turns the ridiculous idea of doing tricks with a train into one of the smoothest and most creative games I played this year. Some transitions between rails and walls can be frustrating, but the great flow, absurd levels, and constant chase for better scores made it very hard to put down.
Denshattack! may not reinvent the genre, but it stands out thanks to its unusual charm and surprisingly solid gameplay identity. Its ability to reinterpret such a specific and eccentric theme through fresh, layered mechanics makes it a game worth discovering, especially for those who appreciate bold ideas. Some trial‑and‑error moments and the lack of Italian don’t undermine its overall impact: it’s a lively, surprising experience that enthusiastically celebrates Japan’s quirky love for trains. A short yet intense ride, powered by the same wild energy as its acrobatic convoy, and one of the most memorable releases of 2026.

Denshattack! demands patience during its opening stretch, and some players may bounce off before its controls start to feel natural. It is fast, frenetic, and occasionally so visually busy that its beautiful environments become background noise. Once it clicks, though, it becomes an exhilarating arcade game with a huge skill ceiling, imaginative missions, unforgettable bosses, and a style entirely its own.
I haven’t played a game that captivated me as much right from the get-go as Denshattack has. The initial premise is so ridiculously outlandish that it’s hard to ignore. But I never even considered it could have such an interesting narrative behind it, one that’s surprisingly tied to real-life issues Japan is facing. My only issue is that there isn’t more Denshattack to enjoy. Undercoders cooked up a proper gem—a game that reminds you not everything has been said and done in gaming, and an absolute must-play that needs to be in your collection right now. It is my Game of the Year thus far, and it could potentially be yours as well.
I want to see more games that match the ambition seen here, because gaming as a whole can only benefit when we see more people take risks like this more often. So long as you’re up for a bit of a challenge, you’re gonna have a blast with this game. Don’t think twice about picking this up, because it’s not going to think twice about showing you what it’s all about.
Denshattack! is a highly interesting experience. Although somewhat derivative in its premise and overly obvious in its influences, the game manages to deliver something truly its own in terms of mechanics, at times even rivaling the quality of the works that inspired it.

Denshattack! is one of the most original games we’ve had the chance to try lately. Who would ever think to blend the world of Japanese trains with skateboarding and the vibrant colors of Jet Set Radio? This crazy and incredibly successful idea comes from the Catalan studio Undercoders, which has delivered a game that captivates us with its challenges and its eccentricity. But be warned! Mastering Denshattack isn’t for novice train drivers, and you’ll need a lot of dedication to impress your friends with the craziest tricks. Now it’s up to you: ready to go?

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.
