MageTrain is a quirky combination of Snake and roguelikes, coming soon on Android and iOS

Author : Ethan Update:Mar 19,2025

Get ready to assemble a magical battalion of mages in MageTrain, a fresh take on classic Snake gameplay launching next month on iOS and Android! Developed by Tidepool Games, this free-to-play mobile roguelike blends auto-battler mechanics with strategic positioning for a surprisingly deep experience that’s easy to pick up.

Inspired by Nimble Quest, MageTrain expands on the concept of leading a growing chain of heroes, adding more characters, dungeons, and a significantly deeper skill system. Guide your magical train of warriors through enemy-filled arenas, strategically positioning each hero to maximize their attacks and avoid disastrous collisions.

At launch, nine unlockable heroes await, each boasting unique abilities that shift depending on their position in the train. Some heroes thrive as leaders, while others offer crucial support from the rear. Explore eight distinct dungeons, battle 28 enemy types, and experiment with 30 different skills to craft powerful team synergies.

MageTrain's roguelike structure, reminiscent of Slay the Spire and FTL, features a path-based system with randomized challenges on each run. Collect gold, power-ups, and upgrades to refine your strategy. Every defeat is a learning opportunity, ensuring each playthrough feels like a unique adventure.

Strategic positioning is paramount. While your heroes auto-attack, you must carefully maneuver your growing train to dodge hazards and optimize your battle formations. The longer your run, the stronger your heroes become, but one wrong move can end your journey instantly.

Can you master the MageTrain and build the ultimate magical battalion? Pre-register now for MageTrain, launching April 8th, via the links below:
