Denshattack!
What critics said
Minimap90Denshattack is perfect for those adrenaline seekers who want the video game equivalent of chugging a dozen pixie sticks. The bright colors and split second decision making is addicting. Add in the dares for each level, and you have days' worth of content to tackle.
Eurogamer100Irreverent, unpredictable, funny, and unputdownable, Denshattack! is anti-capitalist, pop-punk optimism distilled.
IGN90Hitting the track and chaining tricks together in Denshattack is a joy, and a constant stream of new ideas means its excellent anime-inspired campaign never runs out of steam.

'It's Been A Very Positive Experience' - Denshattack! Director On Recent Xbox Game Pass Launch
It remains one of the best games of 2026. Once in a while, we're completely surprised by the quality of an Xbox Game Pass day one release, and back in July, the "Tony Hawk but you're a train" game Denshattack! was exactly that. Denshattack! is a vibrant blend of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, SSX, and even a little bit of Jet Set Radio Future, all smushed together to create this sensational train-flipping title. The game launched to stellar review scores and is currently sitting in Metacritic's top 15

Denshattack's Free Update Challenges You to Earn Even Harder Platinum Medals on PS5
Return ticket. One of this year's big indie breakouts is Denshattack, an arcadey action game in which you blast through stages in a train that can pull off tricks like a skateboard. It takes a little bit of time to acclimatise to its controls, but once you're there, it's a super fun game that moves really fast and constantly introduces new layers to its gameplay.

"Let's make a better world": Denshattack's developers on counterculture, biker gangs, and the optimism of fighting a mecha with a train
In hindsight, I was a fool for meeting Denshattack’s satirical, irreverent, downright countercultural sensibilities with surprise. Upbeat, even goofy as it is for a train driving game, it shares more common ground with skateboarding games, and while the commodification of skater culture is certainly A Thing, few skaters have ever reapplied their asphalt-eating skills to bootlicking. What remains striking, though, is how specifically '2026' Denshattack's targets are. The main baddies are a rogue
Roundup: Rave Reviews For Denshattack! Make It A Must-Play On Xbox Game Pass

Saturated spectacle can't mask this energetic game's flaws.
Denshattack review: one of 2026's best games so far is a racing ruckus of railways, rebellion, and ramen
I fear I’ve authored some kind of Boy Who Cried Wolf situation, vis à vis Denshattack. It’s shown signs of greatness ever since its reveal last year, but in hindsight, I wonder if my enthusiasm for its silly side – it is undeniably a game about trains doing skateboard-style flips and grinds, sometimes while chased by giant baseballs – ever contributed to an impression of it as a mere novelty. A joke game, disinterested in anything beyond breakneck wackiness. I hope not. Because Denshattack is ut
Review: Denshattack! Fast Arcade Action That's Technically Rock-Solid and Highly Addictive
Multi-track drifting!! Denshattack! arrives as a refreshing beacon of optimism in a gaming market often dominated by bleak narratives. Set in a dystopian version of Japan where life persists in the ruined countryside, the game captures a unique blend of excitement and creative energy. Developed by Undercoders - a small Spanish indie studio - this project feels like a long-held ambition realised, offering players a distinctive experience that breaks away from the more sombre trends seen in conte
Denshattack! review
What do Jet Set Radio, the PS1-era Tony Hawk's games, Hi-Fi Rush, and OlliOlli all have in common? Well, aside from being clear influences on Denshattack!, they are all cult classics: games that remain relevant, popular, and influential way beyond their respective eras. And it looks like they've got another stablemate in Undercoders' unlikely arcade grind-'em-up. Because this game is incredible.
Review: Denshattack! (Switch 2) - A Satisfying Yet Bloated Dreamcast Homage
Onsen-sational? From the moment I laid eyes on Denshattack!, there was something about it that had me instantly enamoured. Was it the Dreamcast-inspired bright, blocky colours? The upbeat music? Or the fact that you’re pulling off sick tricks and grinding rails on a freakin’ train? Probably all three, come to think of it. The only sticking point was the gameplay. Would this offer depth and longevity to go with its stellar presentation, or would it be little more than a glorified knock-off of Sub

PS5's Crazy Dreamcast Train Game Denshattack Delayed to July
Mind the gap. Denshattack, the very promising and very colourful action game about driving a train very dangerously, has been delayed. Developer Undercoders confirmed the news a while ago, but amid all the Summer Game Fest news, it got a bit lost in the shuffle. Anyway, instead of launching on 17th June, it'll instead arrive a month later on 15th July: Read the full article on pushsquare.com
Denshattack! Is Delayed Into July To Allow "A Little More Time To Cook"
Inclement weather, perhaps. If you've tried the free demo for Denshattack! on Switch 2, then chances are you're probably itching to play the full game, huh? Well, you'll have to wait a bit longer, we're afraid. Originally scheduled to launch on 17th June 2026, it's now been pushed back to 15th July. This is to allow developer Undercoders "a little more time to cook" to ensure everything's running smoothly.
Feature: "What's This Stupid Thing?" – How One Silly Idea Became The Jet Set Radio-Inspired Denshattack!
"it's goofy, but it's fun". Denshattack! is, in our opinion, one of the most unique games we've seen in quite some time. Sure, the basic gameplay loop of launching into the air to pull off tricks before grinding across some tracks isn't exactly new in itself, but get this... it's a train. It's a train! There's a demo available on the Switch 2 right now following its reveal at the latest Indie World showcase in March, so you can sample it for yourself to see what all the fuss is about. But we rea

More games should be on rails (literally)
It's been a good few weeks for games on rails. Nintendo's Star Fox remake wisely kept the tightly scripted, action-packed levels from Star Fox 64 largely the same, and they're still fun to fly through nearly 20 years later. Denshattack!, a new game from Undercoders, similarly features levels packed with carefully orchestrated sequences to great effect. Except instead of flying through space as an unnervingly realistic anthropomorphic fox, you're flying - and flipping, and spinning, and grinding
