MageTrain is a quirky combination of Snake and roguelikes, coming soon on Android and iOS

Get ready to lead a magical battalion of mages with MageTrain, set to launch next month on mobile platforms. Developed by Tidepool Games, this free-to-play mobile roguelike introduces a fresh spin on the classic Snake gameplay, blending auto-battler mechanics with strategic positioning for a deep and engaging experience. Pre-orders are now open on both iOS and Android, so don't miss your chance to jump in early.

Inspired by the likes of Nimble Quest, MageTrain expands on the concept of guiding a chain of heroes through perilous arenas. You'll lead a magical train of warriors, positioning each hero to maximize their attack potential while dodging deadly obstacles. With nine unlockable heroes at launch, each boasting unique abilities influenced by their placement in the train, you can strategize and adapt your lineup for optimal performance. Some heroes are perfect for leading the charge, while others offer crucial support from the rear.

Explore eight diverse dungeons, face off against 28 different enemy types, and master 30 distinct skills to create powerful team synergies. MageTrain adopts a roguelike structure inspired by games like Slay the Spire and FTL, featuring a path-based system with randomized challenges. Collect gold, power-ups, and upgrades on each run to refine your strategy. Every defeat is a learning opportunity, making each new attempt a fresh adventure.

As your heroes auto-attack, the key to success lies in strategic positioning. Maneuver your growing train to avoid hazards and optimize your battle formations. The longer your run, the more powerful your heroes become, but a single misstep could end your journey abruptly.
