Tidepool Games has just launched an exciting new addition to the mobile gaming scene with their fast-paced, pixel art 'snakelike' roguelike titled **MageTrain**, now available on Android. If you're a fan of **Nimble Quest**, you'll find MageTrain's gameplay strikingly familiar, as it heavily draws inspiration from it.
What’s MageTrain Like?
**MageTrain** brilliantly blends elements of **Snake**, auto-battlers, and roguelikes into a thrilling gaming experience. You take control of a line of heroes that trail behind you, much like a snake, with each hero autonomously attacking as you navigate the arena. Your role is crucial: you manage the positioning of your heroes, deciding who leads and who supports, as their abilities vary based on their position in the train.
At launch, **MageTrain** offers nine unique heroes, including one that uniquely throws birds! Each hero comes equipped with distinct skills that change depending on their placement within the group. Your journey takes you through eight diverse dungeons, where you'll face off against 28 different enemy types and have the opportunity to unlock 30 skills to enhance your team's capabilities. Along the way, you'll also gather gold and power-ups to bolster your chances of survival.
Thanks to its roguelike nature, every run in **MageTrain** is unique. You'll explore branching paths, make critical upgrade decisions, and strive to last as long as possible. The game's structure echoes that of acclaimed titles like **Slay the Spire** and **FTL**, featuring no fixed levels and no option to save your progress mid-run. A single mistake, whether crashing into an obstacle or being overwhelmed by enemies, means starting over from scratch.
It Isn’t Slow-Paced
The game's fast pace and dynamic gameplay keep it engaging. With each run, you'll notice improvement, learning when to play defensively, when to launch an all-out attack, and when to simply hold on for another half-minute. This continuous learning curve keeps **MageTrain** fresh and exciting.
**MageTrain** is now available for free on the Google Play Store. Don't miss out on this thrilling new game. Before you go, don't forget to check out our coverage on another new release, the **MLB Baseball Strategy Game OOTP Baseball 26 Go!**
