Get ready to embark on a magical journey with MageTrain, a fresh take on the classic Snake game that's launching next month. Developed by Tidepool Games, this free-to-play mobile roguelike melds auto-battler mechanics with strategic positioning, creating an engaging experience that's both accessible and brimming with depth. Pre-orders are now open on both iOS and Android platforms.
MageTrain draws inspiration from Nimble Quest, expanding on the idea of guiding a chain of heroes through enemy-laden arenas. In this enchanting twist, you'll lead a magical train of warriors, carefully positioning each hero to maximize their attacks and dodge deadly obstacles. With nine unlockable heroes available at launch, each with unique abilities influenced by their placement in the train, you'll discover a variety of strategic possibilities. Some heroes are best suited to lead, while others offer critical support from the back.
Explore eight diverse dungeons, confront 28 different enemy types, and experiment with 30 unique skills to craft powerful team synergies. MageTrain adopts a roguelike structure inspired by Slay the Spire and FTL, featuring randomized challenges that allow you to gather gold, power-ups, and upgrades, shaping your strategy with every run. Each defeat offers a chance to refine your tactics, ensuring that every attempt feels like a fresh adventure.
Strategic positioning is at the heart of MageTrain. While your heroes automatically engage enemies, you'll need to skillfully maneuver your growing train to avoid hazards and optimize your battle formations. The longer your journey, the more powerful your heroes become, but a single misstep could abruptly end your run.
