Get ready to command a magical battalion of mages in *MageTrain*, a thrilling new mobile game set to launch next month. Developed by Tidepool Games, this free-to-play title brings a fresh twist to classic Snake gameplay by integrating roguelike elements inspired by games like Slay the Spire and FTL. With auto-battler mechanics and strategic positioning at its core, *MageTrain* promises an experience that's both easy to grasp and deeply engaging. Pre-orders are now open on both iOS and Android platforms.
Drawing inspiration from Nimble Quest, *MageTrain* expands on the idea of guiding a chain of heroes through enemy-laden arenas. Your mission is to lead a magical train of warriors, positioning each hero strategically to maximize their combat effectiveness while avoiding fatal collisions. At launch, players can unlock nine unique heroes, each with abilities that vary depending on their placement within the train. Some heroes are best suited for the front lines, while others offer crucial support from the back.
Explore eight different dungeons, confront 28 enemy types, and master 30 distinct skills to create powerful team synergies. *MageTrain* adopts a roguelike structure with a path-based system, where each run offers randomized challenges. Collect gold, power-ups, and upgrades to refine your strategy with every attempt, ensuring that no two adventures are ever the same.
While your heroes auto-attack, the key to success lies in strategic positioning. Maneuver your growing train to dodge hazards and optimize your battle formations. As your run progresses, your heroes grow stronger, but a single misstep can end your journey prematurely.
