Get ready to embark on a magical journey with MageTrain, launching next month and bringing a fresh spin on the classic Snake gameplay. Developed by Tidepool Games, this free-to-play mobile roguelike masterfully blends auto-battler mechanics with strategic positioning, creating an experience that's both accessible and deeply engaging. You can pre-order MageTrain now on both iOS and Android.
Drawing inspiration from Nimble Quest, MageTrain elevates the concept of guiding a chain of heroes through enemy-filled arenas. Your mission is to lead a magical train of warriors, carefully positioning each hero to maximize their attacks while dodging deadly collisions. With nine unlockable heroes at launch, each with unique abilities influenced by their placement in the train, you'll need to strategize to harness their full potential. Some heroes are better suited to lead the charge, while others provide crucial support from the rear.
Explore eight diverse dungeons, face off against 28 enemy types, and master 30 different skills to create powerful team synergies. MageTrain adopts a roguelike structure with a path-based system reminiscent of Slay the Spire and FTL. Every run offers randomized challenges, where you can gather gold, power-ups, and upgrades to tailor your strategy. Each defeat is a learning opportunity, ensuring that every attempt feels like a fresh adventure.
Strategic positioning is at the heart of MageTrain. While your heroes auto-attack, you'll need to 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 can end your journey abruptly.
