Get ready to command a magical battalion of mages with the upcoming release of **MageTrain**, a game that promises to redefine classic Snake gameplay. Launching next month on various virtual storefronts, this free-to-play mobile roguelike from Tidepool Games blends auto-battler mechanics with strategic positioning, ensuring a game that's simple to start but offers deep strategic play. Pre-orders are now open for both iOS and Android users.
Drawing inspiration from Nimble Quest, **MageTrain** enhances the classic concept of guiding a chain of heroes by introducing a richer array of characters, dungeons, and an intricate skill system. Your mission is to navigate a magical train of warriors through arenas teeming with enemies, strategically positioning each hero to amplify their attacks and steer clear of fatal collisions.
Upon its debut, **MageTrain** will boast nine unlockable heroes, each with unique abilities that evolve depending on their position within the train. Leaders might thrive at the front, while others could offer crucial support from behind. Players will delve into eight dungeons, confront 28 different enemy types, and master 30 distinct skills to forge potent team synergies.
The game adopts a roguelike format with a path-based system reminiscent of Slay the Spire and FTL. Each run offers randomized challenges, allowing you to gather gold, power-ups, and upgrades that can pivot your strategy. Every defeat provides an opportunity to refine your tactics, making each attempt a fresh journey.
While strategic positioning is crucial, your heroes will auto-attack, requiring you to skillfully maneuver your expanding train to evade dangers and perfect your battle formations. As your run progresses, your heroes grow stronger, but one wrong move could end your adventure prematurely.
