Denshattack!’s New Boss Is a Magical-Girl Mecha Train

We featured Denshattack! in our top games to play for June, before it got delayed, describing it as a Tony Hawk Pro Skater-meets-Jet Set Radio game built around grinding a gravity-defying train through a dystopian Japan. Publisher Fireshine Games and developer Undercoders have now released new footage of one of its boss fights ahead of the July 15 launch, and the target this time is, yes, a train that transforms into a giant magical-girl mecha.

The boss is Yoshie, an influencer from Fukuoka who gets branded a threat by the government because of her popularity. Her real weapon is a Super Sentai-style transformation that turns her trains into a magical-girl mecha, and the fight throws punches, shockwaves, and exploding terrain at you across multiple phases. That lines up with how Undercoders has described the rest of the game, where each region is run by a gang leader modeled on its local culture and every boss moves through several phases built to test pattern recognition, reflexes, and combos.

The campaign follows Emi as she grinds across a dystopian future Japan to lead a rebellion against the ultra-rich, who have walled themselves off inside protective domes. There are more than 60 stages built around chasing high scores, with the boss fights serving as the real skill checks. Denshattack! launches July 15 on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC. When we featured it in June, we singled out the soundtrack as a reason to keep it on your radar, with Tee Lopes (Sonic Mania), Andrew One (TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge), and Kohta Takahashi (Ridge Racer) on board.
