MageTrain Launches Spellcasting App for Android, iOS

Board the arcane express—MageTrain has officially arrived on iOS and Android devices. This free-to-play roguelike from Tidepool Games reimagines classic Snake gameplay with auto-battler strategy, tactical formations, and explosive spellcasting action.

Strategic Spell-Slinging On Rails

Fans of Nimble Quest will feel right at home. You’ll command a linked battalion of eccentric mages through monster-infested dungeons, weaving through hazards while orchestrating their attacks like a master tactician. Though heroes attack automatically, their placement in your train determines their role—frontliners charge ahead, while rear units offer crucial support.

Launch content includes:

• 9 unlockable heroes with evolving abilities
• 8 uniquely themed dungeons
• 28 enemy types with distinct behaviors
• 30 upgradable skills for endless combinations

Roguelike Magic With Endless Replay Value

The game takes inspiration from Slay the Spire and FTL, offering procedurally generated runs with:

• Branching paths with randomized rewards and perils
• Permadeath that turns every mistake into a learning opportunity
• Scaling difficulty—survivors grow stronger, but risks multiply

One wrong turn can doom your entire convoy, making every positioning decision crucial. Whether dodging projectile barrages or flanking enemy hordes, your movement choices matter as much as your spell selections.

Ready to assemble your unstoppable arcane locomotive? MageTrain is available now as a free download (with optional purchases) on both platforms. For more strategic dungeon crawling, check out our curated selection of must-play iOS roguelikes.
