For months, I’ve been keeping an eye out for Denshattack!, an enticingly loud stunt-action game that’s somewhere between an autorunner and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, if Tony Hawk was an electric locomotive and not a man of mortal flesh. I played it last year and was instantly smitten with its speedy, tricksy rail riding, and now that there’s a newly released Steam demo, perhaps you will be too.
Denshattack! was revealed earlier last year, and I do not think I have seen an announcement trailer with this much energy in quite some time. It had everything I wanted from a game reveal: fast-paced gameplay, a unique hook, and a distinct art style to tie it all together.
Ahead of its Steam Next Fest demo release, I had the chance to play Denshattack! and came away hungry for more. Here are my thoughts on its early levels.
A recap: of the seven hopefuls I slipped into our bulk 2025 list of "Oh, that looks alright" games, only three actually released in 2025, and one of them wasn’t very good. If it’s the hope that kills you, I am therefore dead four, arguably five times over. Real Necron shit, honestly.
