- Create an army of mages who fight waves of enemies
- Roguelike mechanics akin to Slay the Spire and FTL
Get ready to board a magical express of chaos as MageTrain has officially pulled into the station on iOS and Android. Developed by Tidepool Games, this free-to-play roguelike takes the familiar Snake formula and enchants it with auto-battler mechanics, strategic positioning, and a heap of spell-slinging fun.
If Nimble Quest was your jam, MageTrain might just be your next favourite. You’ll guide a chain of quirky heroes through enemy-packed arenas, dodging hazards and lining up attacks like a pixel-perfect conductor. Each hero in your train attacks automatically, but where you place them on the track can make all the difference, some lead the charge, while others provide crucial backup.
At launch, you’ll be able to unlock nine distinct heroes, each with special abilities that evolve based on their position in the train. Explore eight dungeon types, battle 28 different enemies, and experiment with 30 upgradeable skills to build the ultimate conga line of doom.
The game’s roguelike structure borrows from Slay the Spire and FTL, giving each run a new layout of branching paths filled with gold, power-ups, and plenty of ways to accidentally derail your progress. The randomised challenges ensure no two runs feel the same, giving you endless replayability.
And if you want to keep challenging yourself, then be sure to take a look at this list of the best roguelikes to play on iOS right now!
Every misstep is a lesson, and every comeback is a little more epic. The longer your magical train survives, the stronger your team becomes. But one bad turn and it’s all over. So, whether you’re curving through tight corridors or outmanoeuvring waves of monsters, smart positioning will always be the best spell.
