While it was fun seeing new remixes of familiar characters, like a gun-wielding Stealth Elf, it meant less new characters overall. For the fourth game, Trap Team lets you battle against a roster of fun new villains — and then capture them inside special trap crystals. Sold separately, of course. Playing as the villains was like a special powered-up mode and a lot of fun — particularly the way the captured villains taunted from the speakers on the portal itself. You needed one of each trap element to play as all the villains, but you could mix and match them within their elemental types.
Much speculation was given as to how the traps would be incorporated into future games, and the answer was, unfortunately, not very well if at all. Save for a few standouts the new Trap Master figures were generally disappointing, and requiring them to unlock everything in the game was irksome. One standout feature that Trap Team added: tower defense survival mode.
These were fantastic challenge modes, built for various levels of Skylanders, and a fun way to earn experience and level up outside the main game. They also played perfectly in co-op. For whatever reason, the mode was dropped in future games. The one exception is Amiibo. Unlike all the other toys-to-life franchises, most Amiibo are not tied to one specific game, and no game requires an Amiibo to play. Amiibo are primarily collectibles that typically only offer small in-game bonuses like cosmetics.
They also have been released slowly over the years, with only a half dozen or so introduced every year. For these reasons, Amiibo have managed to outlive the rest of the toys-to-life genre. Skylanders had to compete with a lot of pretenders towards the end of its life, and the oversaturated certainly contributed to it ending. When Toys"R"Us started closing stores in , it was the final nail in the Skylanders coffin.
Activision has never directly confirmed that the Skylanders franchise is over. Their ancient mission is to protect Skylands and its magical Core of Light that kept the ultimate force behind all evil, The Darkness , at bay. Using their magical powers and machinery, the Skylanders defended their world for generations with the help of the Portal Masters.
Spyro the Dragon is implied to take the leader role of the Skylanders when a Portal Master isn't available. So far, there are a total of main Skylanders in the series. Vicarious Visions took over developing Skylanders: Swap Force , creating a whole new atmosphere for the franchise.
