Activision made a few changes to the Skylanders franchise when creating this game.
Activision has been making Skylanders games for a few years now, but the reboot of this series is something special. It’s not just another platformer with a new story and characters. The game has so much going on that it feels like more than just an action-adventure title. There are many different elements to this title that make it so much more than your average 2D platformer:
- The game is not just about collecting new characters and leveling them up—it’s also about collecting items called “traps” which give you access to new kinds of powers in your Skylanders collection. These traps can be used by any character, so even if you don’t have a specific trap for a certain character yet, using them will still help build their level up faster!
- There’s also an online component where you can battle against other players in real time using your own collection of Skylanders characters. This means that anyone playing this game from anywhere around the world can play together! [*Note: We have updated our privacy policy effective May 25th, 2018.]
The villains are bigger and badder than ever before.
The villains are bigger and badder than ever before.
Bigger: They’re the size of the heroes now!
Badder: They attack with more force than ever before.
More powerful: Some can even turn your Skylander into a zombie!
More dangerous: They have some pretty insane weapons to go along with their giant bodies, like lasers and fireballs that light whole areas on fire.
More evil: There’s a new villain called Spell Punk (a troll) who looks like he just stepped out of a Tim Burton movie, but he has an evil plan to steal all of the “Traptanium” from every Skylander in Skylanders Academy and use it for his own gain.
Kaos will return to this world.
While Kaos is the main villain of the series, he’s been defeated many times by the Skylanders. He’s a powerful sorcerer and has an army of Orcs and Trolls at his disposal. The Skylanders are a group of heroes that live in this world and have magical powers that they use to protect their home from evil creatures like Kaos. They’ve traveled to many different worlds in search of new allies, but always return home when it’s time for them to defend Skylands against Kaos’ latest plan for world domination!
There are over 100 characters in this new release. More than in any previous Skylanders game combined.
There are over 100 characters in this new release. More than in any previous Skylanders game combined. In previous games, you could only play as one character at a time but with Skylanders Imaginators, players will be able to switch between characters at any time and use their abilities to solve puzzles and battle enemies. This makes for an entirely new way of playing the game, especially if you have young children who might like to take turns playing with a favorite character from another level of the game.
The ability to mix and match different elemental powers opens up all sorts of possibilities for creativity and strategy when facing off against enemies or challenges within each level.
This is the first Skylanders game that isn’t a platformer or action-adventure game of some kind.
The Skylanders adventures have always been action games of some kind, whether they’re platformers like the original game or action-adventure games like Trap Team. But this new title is something completely different: It’s a role-playing game that combines dungeon crawler and strategy elements with card battles and puzzle challenges. It’s also the first Skylanders game to be released on the Nintendo Switch, although it appears to be identical to its PS4 and Xbox One counterparts in terms of content.
So if you’re hoping for another version of Spyro’s Adventure or Giants but with better graphics, there won’t be any of that here—this is something entirely different from what we’ve seen before in this series.
You’ll be able to play as different Skylander characters throughout the entire game.
In this reboot, you’ll be able to play as different Skylander characters throughout the entire game. You can switch between them at any time and use their unique powers to solve puzzles or fight enemies in new ways.
You can also collect different things with each character, so playing as a different one allows you to do something new with your collection of figures.
The new Portal of Power has a much cooler look and feel than previous models, plus it can connect to your television and console wirelessly.
The new Portal of Power has a much cooler look and feel than previous models, plus it can connect to your television and console wirelessly. If you have an old portal, you can still use it with the game on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 by plugging it into an HDMI port on the back of your TV. If you don’t have access to an HDMI port, fear not: Activision will send out adapters for free so that players can connect their old portals without buying any new equipment or having to buy another one altogether.
The new portal also comes with some great features that weren’t available in previous games: It’s smaller than previous versions (meaning more room for other things in your house), but also connects with Bluetooth so that it doesn’t need cables anymore! That means no more tripping over wires when playing Skylanders! And since this is wireless technology, there’s no need for batteries either—you get all these fantastic benefits without having to pay extra money out of pocket!
Each new Skylander character is customizable, with each having more individual abilities, strengths and weaknesses that previous characters have had.
With each new character, you will be able to customize them as you see fit. This means that each character has its own unique ability and set of upgrades that they can earn throughout the game. It is important to note that there are many more individual abilities than before, so each player can make their own Skylanders character with different strengths and weaknesses than the last one you created.
The toys have a level of detail to them that we haven’t seen in previous games, but they’re still bright, colorful and fun to look at.
The Toy Figures
The toys have a level of detail to them that we haven’t seen in previous games, but they’re still bright, colorful and fun to look at. You can see the detail on the characters’ faces, especially when you zoom in close. The graphics on these toys are just as good or better than any other game Activision has put out recently. You can really see how much effort went into designing all of these characters from their head down to their toes.
The new figures can not only be used in-game, but also as accessories for your smartphone if you want to show off your love for this series. They work with most modern smartphones on the market today.
