Prepare to embark on a thrilling journey as MageTrain, the enchanting new game from Tidepool Games, has officially launched on both Android and iOS. This free-to-play roguelike game blends the classic Snake concept with auto-battler mechanics, strategic positioning, and a magical twist that promises endless fun.
If you enjoyed the thrill of Nimble Quest, MageTrain is poised to become your next obsession. You'll lead a chain of quirky heroes through enemy-filled arenas, skillfully dodging obstacles and orchestrating attacks like a master conductor. Each hero in your train automatically engages in combat, but their placement on the track can significantly impact your strategy—some heroes lead the charge, while others offer essential support from the rear.
At launch, players can unlock nine unique heroes, each equipped with special abilities that evolve based on their position within the train. You'll navigate through eight different dungeon types, confront 28 varied enemies, and choose from 30 upgradeable skills to construct the ultimate magical conga line.
MageTrain's roguelike structure draws inspiration from classics like Slay the Spire and FTL, offering a fresh layout of branching paths on every run. These paths are brimming with gold, power-ups, and numerous opportunities to either enhance or derail your progress. The game's randomised challenges ensure that no two runs are the same, providing endless replayability.
