Denshattack!

Denshattack surprises by turning the unlikely idea of train maneuvers into one of the most fun and creative titles of the year. With strong aesthetic inspiration in Persona, impeccable soundtrack and genius boss battles, the game makes up for its indie scale with pure charisma and fluidity.

Proof that Western anime buffs can sometimes pull off the kind of stuff that inspired them with epic flare, Denshattack digs surprisingly deep with its insane premise to deliver a fact paced game of score and style that offers a whiplash inducing tour of sizable swathes of Japan in the process.

Denshattack! surprised me in many ways. Its constant action, accessible mechanics, and vibrant, cinematic visuals create a magical experience that can’t be found regularly. Each stage offers something new, whether it be different objectives or completely different events that change how we play it out.

Denshattack! is pure, unfiltered Video Game. It’s a joy to see in motion, and be a part of what drives that motion. You hit buttons and watch the silly train flip around in the air, grind on rails, and kickflip giant baseballs back at the enemy train who shot them at you with a cannon. It has a fun story with fun characters and a lot of heart, and lots of non-train activities to feed into that part. There’s a ton of depth to mastering the levels, mechanics, and objectives, and plenty of score-chasing and rank-hunting to do. There’s a sick soundtrack full of earworms and sensory overloading nonsense (complimentary). It’s all in service of the kind of package that knows exactly what it wants to be and revels in its weirdness, and that brazen energy is infectious. Despite its simple “it’s X, but Y” premise, Deshattack! is a one-of-a-kind experience.

Denshattack! is an incredibly stylish, spectacular, and exhilarating game. It combines quirky visuals, strong sound design, and a clever gameplay concept. While anyone can easily pick it up and become immersed, it also offers plenty of depth for those who want to master its mechanics, perfectly embodying the idea of ‘easy to learn, hard to master.

Denshattack! is a fast, fun, and colourful arcade title with infectious positivity that acts as a great companion for its main selling point: trains that can do kickflips.

Denshattack is an inconsistent spectacle that fails to make good use of its chosen themes.

C'est mon jeu de l'année ! C'est du pur fun, avec un gameplay qui se renouvelle sans arrêt... Quelle créativité ! Et pour ce prix dérisoire.... Bravo aux devs !

Every time you think the game cannot possibly get any nuttier, it gets nuttier ****! is one of the most creative, audacious, unique, bold, ambitious, stylish and fun games I have ever played, and it is an extremely addictive and impressive debut indie game. The soundtrack is also spectacular featuring a wide range of musical talent who all bring their all and understood the assignment given to them. The game features 65 levels, all of which are accompanied by their own music track, and they are all fun I recommend it to literally everyone who wants an exhilarating experience My score for the game is a 9.5/10, but Metacritic doesn’t accommodate decimal scores, so I’m rounding up here. My favourite game of the year so far by a wide margin

I made this account just to review this game. I bought this on a whim, wanting a new game to play before Splatoon raiders came out. Decided on this after hear tons of praise about the game, and oh my, was it worth it. The game might seem like a basic "on rails" game, like the negative are saying (they are trolling, it's nothing like a mobile game), but it is so much more than that. It has tons of fun gimmicks that it introduces throughout the game to keep you constantly interested, tons of unique levels, and overall really fun gameplay. Oh, and it has bosses :) On another note, this game wins soundtrack of the year. It's such a banger ost, with so many great guest artists. I don't think it's really a competition. Such a fun game, would highly recommend.

Non credo sia un titolo cosi sconvolgete, non porta niente di nuovo rispetto a ciò che già sì vede su cellulare. Certo è bello ed è colorato, ma dopo un pò annoia visto che l'entusiasmo iniziale andrà spegnendosi semre più.

Devant la machine à saké à côté du karaoké, un salary man en position latérale de sécurité a une idée 'géniale'... tout-à-coup ! ça lui est venu comme ça l'autre jour alors qu'il dégobillait sur le quai mais là, c'est plus clair dans son esprit tandis qu'il entame le sixième pack d'Asahi : faire un jeu de plateforme avec un train !... ou plutôt un wagon. Et le wagon saute comme un cabri, fait des loopings et trace la route comme un dingue... et même qu'il drifte comme un porc dans les virages, ouais ouais ouais...! Sur le papier et si on a la tête suffisamment dans le cul, ç'a presque l'air marrant... mais dans les faits de la réalité réelle (si l'on peut dire) du jeu fini, c'est surtout ultra débile ! et on s'en lasse en cinq sec. En outre, la touche graphique est ratée, avec un cel shading grossier en à peu près 16 couleurs (et encore) : c'est vraiment laid et affreux. Et inversement. Enfin, l'action toujours très rapide de ce wagon en constante crise d'épilepsie de Parkinson effrénée est décidément aussi stupide que bêtement fatigante... à moins que ce ne soit l'inverse : plus stupide que fatigant (et navrant) ? il faut ouvrir une enquête.
