Denshattack, the latest game from Undercoders, is a wild ride that combines the thrill of train driving with the excitement of fighting against an oppressive regime. With its upbeat and goofy tone, it's easy to overlook the game's radical heart, but as you delve deeper, you'll find a scathing critique of modern society.
The game's world is a satirical take on contemporary issues, with a rogue big tech company serving as the main antagonist. Players assemble a crew of misfits and outcasts, reminiscent of Japanese counterculture groups, to take down the oppressive forces using nothing but their wits and a high-speed train.
