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 the player to switch between Skylanders and Villain characters. The game hub is the Skylanders Academy from which the player can access the story levels, the arenas and the Kaos Doom Challenges. The narrative levels play like in the previous games ad consist of platforming with puzzle-solving and items collecting. While they are in the Trap in the Traptanium Portal, the villains will speak to the player via a speaker in the Portal. The Kaos Doom Challenges consist of tower defense levels, in which the Skylanders must prevent Kaos' minions from breaking a treasure box.
