Skylanders: Swap Force is a platformer video game developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision. It is the third main game in the Skylanders video game and toy franchise, following 2012’s Skylanders: Giants, which was a direct sequel to 2011’s Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure (the spin-off of The Legend of Spyro series). It is the game before Skylanders: Trap Team and features the voices of John DiMaggio, Jess Harnell, Audrey Wasilewski, Richard Tatum, David Sobolov, Josh Keaton, Keythe Farley, Dave Wittenberg, Joey Camen, Gregg Berger, Troy Baker and Robin Atkin Downes.
It is the first Skylanders game to be released in North America before other regions, unlike the previous two games where Australia got the installments first. It is also the first Skylanders game not to be owned by Vivendi.
| Game Analysis | Gameplay carries on from previous games, in which players use a portal to bring real-life collectible figures of the titular Skylanders into their game. The game is compatible with all the Skylanders from Spyro's Adventure and Giants, and all characters now have the ability to jump. Along with sixteen new core characters, Swap Force introduces sixteen new Swap Force characters, featuring characters such as Wash Buckler and Magna Charge. These characters are each made up of two individual parts that can be interchanged to create up to 256 different combinations. | |
