Prepare to command a magical battalion of mages in the upcoming mobile game, MageTrain, set to launch next month. Developed by Tidepool Games, this free-to-play title offers a unique twist on the classic Snake gameplay, blending it with roguelike elements inspired by Slay the Spire and FTL. Pre-orders are now open on both iOS and Android platforms.
MageTrain draws inspiration from Nimble Quest, expanding the concept of guiding a chain of heroes through enemy-filled arenas. In this game, you'll lead a magical train of warriors, strategically positioning each hero to maximize their effectiveness in battle while dodging deadly collisions. The game's depth comes from its auto-battler mechanics and intricate skill system, making it easy to pick up yet challenging to master.
At launch, players can unlock nine unique heroes, each with abilities that vary depending on their position within the train. Whether leading from the front or supporting from the back, each hero brings distinct strengths to the battlefield. You'll navigate through eight diverse dungeons, confront 28 different enemy types, and utilize 30 skills to craft powerful team synergies.
MageTrain adopts a roguelike structure with a path-based system, where each run presents new, randomized challenges. Collect gold, power-ups, and upgrades to refine your strategy with every attempt. Each defeat offers a chance to learn and improve, ensuring every run feels fresh and engaging.

Success in MageTrain hinges on strategic positioning. Although heroes auto-attack, you must skillfully 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.
