If someone told you that a game was a mashup of trains, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and Jet Set Radio that was super fun, you’d probably think they were talking nonsense. But “Denshattack!” really did it. GamesRadar recently praised this game as one of the best games of 2026. It uses crazy and creative gameplay to create one of the most surprising independent works this year.
Not a train simulator, but a train version of Tony Hawk? !
The biggest feature of “Denshattack!” is that the player controls not a skateboard, but a high-speed train. Players can sprint between the rails at high speed, flick around corners, fly in the air, perform flip stunts, slide on the wall, and obtain high scores through continuous combos. The overall gameplay is deeply influenced by “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater”, while integrating the bright cel style of “Jet Set Radio” and the speed-filled arcade experience, making it both fresh and quite addictive to play.
Art, music, and rhythm are all very unique
The game stage is set in a future Japan full of anime style, with distinctive cel rendering, American arcade rhythm, and exaggerated and unreasonable level design, which reminds many media of the golden age of Sega games in the Dreamcast era.
GamesRadar pointed out that “Denshattack!” is not only interesting in concept, but also successfully stands out among many independent games this year due to its smooth operation and stylish performances. After it was launched, it not only made it onto the Steam bestseller list, but also received a “Very Positive” rating. The development team even admitted that when they woke up in the morning and saw the results, they couldn’t believe their eyes.
