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

Assemble a magical battalion of mages, conquer eight dungeons, and battle 28 enemy types in MageTrain, a fresh take on classic Snake gameplay launching next month on iOS and Android. This free-to-play mobile roguelike, developed by Tidepool Games, blends auto-battler mechanics with strategic positioning for a surprisingly deep experience. Pre-orders are open now!

Inspired by Nimble Quest, MageTrain expands on the concept of a growing hero chain, adding more characters, dungeons, and a significantly enhanced skill system. Guide your magical train through enemy-filled arenas, strategically positioning each hero to maximize their attacks and avoid deadly collisions.

At launch, nine unlockable heroes await, each boasting unique abilities that shift based on their position within the train. Some excel at leading the charge, while others provide crucial support from the rear. Experiment with 30 different skills to create powerful team synergies.

The roguelike structure, reminiscent of Slay the Spire and FTL, features a path-based system with randomized challenges. Collect gold, power-ups, and upgrades to shape your strategy. Each run offers a unique challenge, refining your approach with every attempt.

Strategic positioning is paramount. While your heroes auto-attack, you must skillfully maneuver your growing train to dodge hazards and optimize battle formations. The longer your run, the stronger your heroes become, but one misstep can end your journey instantly.
