Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Template:Game Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, formerly known by its test title as Spyro's Kingdom, is an upcoming Action/Adventure game for the Spyro the Dragon series being published by Activision and developed by Toys for Bob. It is the second reboot that takes place in the Spyro series, the first being the Legend of Spyro series.
It is confirmed that the game of Skylanders is to be based on the original Spyro from his PlayStation days. Even though this game is still in development, it has received a lot of negative criticism from fans who either dislike or hate Activision's new direction for the Spyro series, the game's targeted audience, Spyro's design in Skylanders, the absence of the characters from the Original series and the Legend of Spyro series at the start of the new reboot, or all of the above.
Most fans want another Legend of Spyro game mostly because they enjoyed the action of the game or because they like Cynder and/or the fact that Cynder is Spyro's new girlfriend.
It is revealed that one of the two producers of The Legend of Spyro series, Michael Graham, is now in charge of the Spyro series. This would explain why Spyro has qualities from both the Legend and Classic Spyro in Skylanders, as shown in his character biography.
Story Summary
In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, players take on the role of a powerful Portal Master, who can control over 30 different characters, including the beloved purple dragon, Spyro. Each of these heroes is a protector of an amazing, mysterious world, but they have been ejected from their world by the sinister Portal Master known as Kaos, and now, they are frozen in our world as toys. Only the players of Skylanders Spyro's Adventure can get them back into their world, by embarking on a fantastical journey where they will explore mythical lands, battle menacing, outlandish creatures, collect treasures, and solve challenging puzzles as a part of the quest to save their world.
Features
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure changes the way others look at toys and video games, as well as how they interact with them by introducing action figures that become interaction figures and remember all of their dynamic experiences created in the game. For the first time ever, players can personally customize and power-up their toys, as well as bring them to life on a friend’s Portal of Power for co-op play and player-versus-player arena battles. Additionally, with the freedom to change characters whenever they like, Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure allows kids to utilize different interaction figures and strategies each time they play.
Gameplay
Characters each have a primary attack, and a secondary attack. They gain experience points by defeating monsters, and leveling up will result in the possibility of getting upgrades. Each character has its own special abilities that differ from each other, as well as assigned elements. This provides some replayability, as each character faces the world in different ways.
Treasures, such as gems and coins, can be found all over the worlds either laying on the ground, or hiding inside breakable containers. Orbs come from defeated enemies, but as of now we have no info on what it does. Devouring food recovers some of the character's health. With two players on hand, they can cooperatively play the game together, or against each other in a variety of arenas to choose from, each having its own appearance, and obstacles within it.
Exploration
As the tale unfolds, players will encounter a variety of vivid environments, each with its own unique look and feel, and each providing different challenges, puzzles, and the discovery of secret areas, rewards and mini-games.
Elements
Each character has his or her own element. They are classified by element types, Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Life, Undead, Magic, and Tech, and each has their own heroic challenges that are unlocked as more characters are collected. Players can collect and then strategically select their favorite characters within the different element types to go up against certain enemies, obstacles, and puzzles as well as access new areas within the different levels of the game.
Co-Operative Play
Players can join forces with friends and drop in and out of each level with as many different interaction figures as they like. Different strategies can come into play as players can select their favorite characters to tag-team against certain obstacles, hazards and/or enemies within the different levels of the game.
Player vs. Player
A classic battle mode provides a selection of different game modes and arena maps for players to face off against each other. Each unique arena map contains a variety of obstacles, hazards and power-ups. Players will want to make sure they build up their army of different characters and level them all up to battle their friends on equal ground.
Collectibles
Toys and collectible cards will be sold separately that can be synchronized with the game and will be used to unlock powers and items. Each toy will act as the player's character and there will be a total of 32 toys, one of which being Spyro. Multiple players will be able to play cooperatively or against one another.
