"Let's make a better world": Denshattack's developers on counterculture, biker gangs, and the optimism of fighting a mecha with a train
Developers at Undercoders discuss their game Denshattack, which blends counterculture, biker gangs, and train-based combat against a dystopian megacorporation. They explain how the game's themes of inequality, misinformation, and AI emerged organically from its near-future Japan setting, reflecting contemporary worries. The team also touches on their previous game, SuperEpic: The Entertainment War, and how its criticisms of the games industry became unexpectedly prescient.
