Skylanders: Trap Team
About the Game
Long ago, in the Skylands, there was a group of villains called the Doom Raiders, who spread mayhem wherever they went. Only the best Skylanders armed with special weapons made of Traptanium were strong enough to defeat and capture them, and imprison them in Cloudcracker Prison. They were kept there until Kaos freed them, sending the Trap Master Skylanders in our world, along with the shards of Cloudcracker Prison, which were turned into Traptanium Traps. Skylanders: Trap Team is the fourth game in the Skylanders franchise .
Story & Setting
Each villain has a special redeeming quest that will give them a special power.
Gameplay & Core Systems
It introduces the new concept of capturing the enemies into the Traps toys, enabling players to switch between Skylanders and Villain characters.
