Denshattack! is the wildest thing to hit the gaming scene since Tony Hawk donned his board and defied gravity. This Barcelona-bred masterpiece sends players careening across post-apocalyptic Japan, where trains are the new skateparks – and Emi's on a mission to become the ultimate 'Denshattacker'.
The game rips up the rulebook with its 'on-rails' platformer mechanics, injecting some much-needed adrenaline into the genre. Think classic Skate & Destroy for the train set, where you'll be grinding, flipping, and spinning your way through a ruined Japan, taking in the sights and sounds of a world that's been ravaged by climate disaster.
But don't let the wacky premise fool you – Denshattack! has got depth to spare. The game builds on its absurd concept with a richly detailed world that's equal parts Jet Set Radio and cult anime Redline. You'll be rubbing shoulders with an eclectic cast of characters, from punk rockers to girl gangs, all set against the backdrop of Japan's once-mighty rail network.
And then there's the sheer, unadulterated mayhem of the gameplay itself – think explosive crashes, intense boss battles, and courses that'll put your reflexes to the test. It's a wild ride from start to finish, with an accessibility that'll let you ease into the action before gradually ramping up the difficulty curve.
But what really sets Denshattack! apart is its love letter to Japanese culture – think traditional kabuki theatre meets Initial D-style racing manga. This is more than just a game; it's a sensory overload of sights, sounds, and emotions that'll leave you gasping for air. And with releases on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2, this train-bound thrill ride is waiting to take you on the wildest journey of your gaming life.
