MageTrain for iPhone

About MageTrain

MageTrain is a free mobile roguelike RPG from TidepoolGames that blends classic arcade motion with fantasy combat. It reimagines the simple movement from Snake as a party-based battle system: your heroes form a line and advance in straight paths while you face waves of foes in dungeon runs.

How it plays

• Heroes travel and attack in a single-file formation, moving on a four-directional grid.
• Combat unfolds against procedurally generated rooms filled with varied enemy types that demand different tactics.
• You chain spells and abilities between party members to create powerful synergies as your group grows.

Progression and rewards

• Collect gold and pick up randomized power-ups during runs to boost immediate performance.
• Use accumulated currency to unlock new characters and buy permanent upgrades that carry over into future attempts.
• New heroes expand your tactical options, and combining different classes leads to more complex strategies.

Learning curve and challenge

Getting comfortable with the game takes a bit of time, especially because each hero brings distinct skills you’ll need to master. The initial learning phase is moderate, but the variety of builds and encounters makes the investment worthwhile.

Final thoughts and alternatives

If you enjoyed titles like Nimble Quest and want a mobile roguelike with deeper RPG elements, MageTrain is worth trying. For players seeking a paid, single-file experience in a different genre, consider Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion — Lost Stories.
