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 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 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 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.
