Gameplay

Denshattack! is a 3D platformer. The player controls a train in on-rail levels. While traversing the tracks, players aim to perform as many tricks as possible. Trains can jump, flip to different tracks, and perform tricks typically seen in skateboarding, including ollies and kickflips.

Each level varies, from racing through a course as fast as possible, a score attack, where you chain tricks to earn a high score in limited time, races against rival characters, and boss battles. After completing a level, the player is graded by a rank system for highest score, best completion time, and completing a set of challenges unique to every level, known as "dares".

Story

The story follows Emi, a train driver, who delivers ramen via train in a dystopian Japan. Following the effects of climate change, the remaining population who can afford to live in domed cities controlled by a megacorporation named Miraido. Miraido additionally controls the high-speed VACTRAIN system that runs between the domed cities.

After Emi meets with Fernando, an aspiring photographer, she gets involved in the sport of Denshattack, where drivers compete to perform tricks. Fernando joins Emi on her quest to become the best in the sport. Fernando also authors a zine covering the sport.

Development

Denshattack! was developed by Undercoders, an independent game studio based in Barcelona, Spain. According to director David Jaumandreu, the idea of Denshattack! was first conceived when he and his team were using a Japanese train toy, thinking about if it could perform tricks like a skateboard.

When pitching the game, Jaumandreu described the concept as "Tony Hawk but you're a train". Unreal Engine 5 was used as Undercoders had experience with it.

Reception

Denshattack! received generally favourable reviews from critics. Review aggregator Metacritic recorded scores in the high 80s across its platforms, while OpenCritic reported that 96% of critics recommended the game.

Critics such as IGN and Shacknews frequently compared the game's trick-based movement and visual style to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi.
