MageTrain, the upcoming free-to-play mobile game developed by Tidepool Games, is set to revolutionize the classic Snake gameplay with a magical twist upon its release next month. Drawing inspiration from Nimble Quest, this roguelike auto-battler introduces a novel concept where you lead a growing chain of heroes through enemy-filled arenas. The key to success lies in strategic positioning, ensuring your magical train of warriors maximizes their attacks while avoiding deadly collisions.
At launch, players can look forward to assembling a magical battalion with nine unlockable heroes, each boasting unique abilities that vary based on their placement within the train. Whether leading from the front or supporting from the back, each hero contributes to your strategy. You'll navigate through eight dungeons, face off against 28 enemy types, and master 30 different skills to forge powerful team synergies.
MageTrain adopts a roguelike structure inspired by classics like Slay the Spire and FTL, featuring a path-based system where each run offers randomized challenges. Collect gold, power-ups, and upgrades to tailor your strategy. Each defeat provides a learning opportunity, ensuring every attempt feels fresh and exciting.
While your heroes auto-attack, your focus will be on maneuvering the growing train to dodge hazards and optimize battle formations. The longer your run, the more powerful your heroes become, but a single misstep can end your journey abruptly.
Are you ready to master MageTrain and build the ultimate magical battalion? Pre-orders are now open on iOS and Android, with the game set to launch on April 8th. Don't miss out on this enchanting adventure!
