Denshattack’s surprise ode to Guitar Hero makes for 2026’s best boss fight
Denshattack! features an unexpected musical boss fight that stands out among the game’s many absurd sequences, according to Polygon. The encounter occurs at the end of Chapter 7, following a race through Japan’s Kantō region. Players face Suzuna Sei, a musician whose childhood career as a child star ended unsuccessfully. Rather than pursuing music further, Sei embraced Denshattacking and now leads a musical gang that operates the railways. The boss battle, set in the “Rainbow Hero” stage, draws clear inspiration from Guitar Hero, creating a memorable interactive experience. Denshattack! is characterized by ridiculous moments throughout—the game normalizes scenarios like watching a train hitch a ride on a runaway Ferris wheel. The musical boss fight serves as a highlight in this adventure, showcasing the game’s unique blend of music, spectacle, and unexpected gameplay moments. With its commitment to absurdity and over-the-top design, Denshattack! emerges as a distinctly playful gaming experience for 2026.
