Author : Audrey May 06,2025

Prepare to embark on a magical journey with MageTrain, a game that reimagines the classic Snake gameplay with a thrilling twist. Developed by Tidepool Games, this free-to-play mobile roguelike is set to launch next month on virtual storefronts. By blending auto-battler mechanics with strategic positioning, MageTrain offers an engaging experience that's easy to grasp yet rich in depth. Pre-orders are now open for both iOS and Android users.

Inspired by the beloved Nimble Quest, MageTrain expands on the idea of guiding a chain of heroes by introducing a variety of characters, challenging dungeons, and an intricate skill system. Your mission is to lead a magical train of warriors through arenas teeming with enemies, strategically positioning each hero to amplify their attacks and evade deadly collisions.

At its launch, MageTrain will introduce nine unlockable heroes, each possessing unique abilities that vary depending on their position within the train. Whether leading the charge or providing crucial support from the back, these heroes will help you navigate through eight dungeons, confront 28 different enemy types, and master 30 distinct skills to forge powerful team synergies.

Each playthrough offers randomized challenges, giving you the opportunity to gather gold, power-ups, and upgrades that will shape your strategy. With every defeat, you'll gain insights to refine your approach, ensuring that each attempt feels like a fresh adventure.
