Trains are pretty great. They reliably get you from A to B and often with great scenic views, and are iconic in pop cultural moments from thrilling getaways and heists in Westerns to the Hogwarts Express that takes its passengers to their wizarding school. But you probably never imagined they could be used as the means of a future extreme sport, as is the premise for Denshattack!
Specifically, the title refers to Japanese trains, or 'Densha' as they are referred to in Japan, which have been the subject of games in the past, most notably the arcade train simulation series Densha de Go! Of course, simulation is usually what you might expect from trains, such as the Train Sim World series, whose developers and fans take it pretty seriously. But according to Denshattack's game director, David Jaumandreu, the game's take on its subject came from quite a simple, silly spark of inspiration that the team just ran with.
