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

Author : Harper Mar 22,2025

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 with unique abilities that shift based on their position in the train. Some excel as leaders, while others offer crucial support from the rear. Experiment with 30 different skills to create powerful team synergies.

The game's roguelike structure, inspired by Slay the Spire and FTL, features a path-based system with randomized challenges. Collect gold, power-ups, and upgrades to shape your strategy. Each defeat refines your approach, making every playthrough a unique adventure.

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