MageTrain brings spellcasting to the Snake formula, now available on Android and iOS

by Jonathan Apr 09,2025

Get ready to embark on a thrilling journey as MageTrain, developed by Tidepool Games, has officially launched on both Android and iOS. This free-to-play roguelike game takes the classic Snake concept and infuses it with auto-battler mechanics, strategic positioning, and a delightful array of magical combat.

If you enjoyed Nimble Quest, MageTrain could be your next obsession. In this game, you'll lead a chain of unique heroes through enemy-infested arenas, skillfully avoiding obstacles and orchestrating attacks with precision. Each hero in your train auto-attacks, but the key to success lies in their strategic placement on the track. Positioning your heroes correctly can mean the difference between leading the charge or providing essential support.

At launch, you'll have the opportunity to unlock nine distinct heroes, each boasting unique abilities that evolve depending on their position within the train. Navigate through eight varied dungeon types, confront 28 different enemies, and harness the power of 30 upgradeable skills to create the ultimate magical conga line.

MageTrain's roguelike framework draws inspiration from games like Slay the Spire and FTL, offering a fresh layout of branching paths with each run. These paths are laden with gold, power-ups, and numerous opportunities to either boost your progress or inadvertently derail it. The game's randomized challenges ensure that no two runs are the same, providing endless replayability.

In MageTrain, every mistake is a learning opportunity, and every successful run feels more epic than the last. The longer your magical train endures, the stronger your team grows. However, a single misstep can spell the end. Whether you're navigating tight corridors or outmaneuvering waves of monsters, strategic positioning is your most potent spell.
