Get ready to command a powerful battalion of mages in *MageTrain*, a brand-new mobile roguelike that reimagines the classic Snake gameplay with a fresh and strategic twist. Developed by Tidepool Games, this free-to-play title blends auto-battler mechanics with tactical positioning, delivering an accessible yet deeply engaging experience. Pre-orders are already live for both iOS and Android platforms, ahead of its official release next month.
Drawing inspiration from popular titles like *Nimble Quest*, *MageTrain* expands on the idea of leading a chain of heroes through intense combat scenarios. The game introduces a variety of characters, dungeons, and a robust skill system, all designed to enhance replayability and strategy. Your mission is to steer a magical train of warriors through perilous arenas teeming with enemies. Position each hero carefully to maximise their abilities while avoiding collisions that could derail your entire squad.
Unlockable Heroes & Strategic Depth
At launch, players can look forward to nine unique unlockable heroes, each offering distinct abilities that evolve based on their position within the train. Some thrive as leaders at the front, while others deliver crucial support from behind. Alongside these heroes, you’ll explore eight different dungeons, battle 28 enemy types, and experiment with 30 diverse skills to create powerful team synergies that suit your playstyle.
Roguelike Progression System
*MageTrain* embraces a roguelike structure built around a path-based progression system reminiscent of *Slay the Spire* and *FTL*. Each run delivers randomly generated challenges, encouraging players to collect gold, power-ups, and permanent upgrades that shape future strategies. Every defeat is a learning opportunity—refine your approach and dive back in for an entirely new adventure.
Tactical Movement Meets Auto-Battler Action
While your heroes auto-attack, your role as the conductor remains critical. Maneuver your growing train to dodge environmental hazards and optimise formation efficiency. As your run progresses, your team gains strength—but one small mistake can spell disaster, ending your journey in an instant.
