MageTrain: Snake Meets Roguelike, Soon on Android and iOS

by Eleanor May 05,2025

Get ready to command a magical battalion of mages with MageTrain, the upcoming mobile game that's set to redefine the classic Snake gameplay. Launching next month on virtual storefronts, this free-to-play roguelike from Tidepool Games integrates auto-battler mechanics with strategic positioning, ensuring an experience that's both accessible and deeply engaging. Pre-orders are now open for iOS and Android users, eager to dive into this innovative adventure.

Drawing inspiration from Nimble Quest, MageTrain expands on the idea of guiding a chain of heroes by adding more characters, dungeons, and a more intricate skill system. Your mission is to navigate a magical train of warriors through arenas teeming with enemies, strategically positioning each hero to enhance their attacks and avoid fatal collisions.

At its launch, MageTrain will introduce nine unlockable heroes, each bringing unique abilities that vary according to their position in the train. Whether they're best suited to lead the charge or provide crucial support from the back, these heroes will take you through eight dungeons, facing off against 28 enemy types and mastering 30 different skills to forge powerful team synergies.

The game's roguelike framework is inspired by the path-based systems found in Slay the Spire and FTL. Each playthrough offers randomized challenges, giving you the chance to gather gold, power-ups, and upgrades that will influence your strategy. Every defeat is an opportunity to refine your tactics, ensuring that each run feels like a fresh adventure.

In MageTrain, strategic positioning is crucial. Although heroes auto-attack, you'll need to skillfully maneuver your ever-growing train to evade hazards and perfect your battle formations. As your run progresses, your heroes will grow stronger, but one wrong move could abruptly end your journey.
