RFI Highlights Spanish Studio's Train Skateboarding Game 'Denshattack'

RFI's gaming segment for summer 2026 spotlights 'Denshattack!', a video game developed by Spanish studio Undercoders and published by Fireshine Games. Released in mid-July on PC and consoles, the game blends 2000s arcade aesthetics reminiscent of Jet Set Radio and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater with the world of Japanese trains. Players control a train performing skateboarding tricks like grinds, ollies, and kickflips across various Japanese locales. The narrative follows Emi, a ramen delivery girl in a dystopian Japan ruled by a megacorporation, who joins a resistance that uses train-based tournaments called Denshattack instead of weapons. The game is set in Kyushu, Osaka, and Tokyo, featuring combos, character encounters, and eccentric boss battles. The reviewer praises its vibrant colors and catchy music, composed by French company Kid Katana, known for work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with publisher Dotemu. The game's authentic Japanese aesthetic is notable given its Spanish developers, who drew inspiration from Sega's Dreamcast era and games like Hi-Fi Rush and Persona. 'Denshattack!' is available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
