The game is an amazing couples co-op game, like, in my opinion one of the best you can find so both myself and my wife are both happy to pick up a handful of figures from each new game. Keep in mind Skylanders has been going for a good few years now, Spyros Adventure, Giants, Swap Force, Trap Team and Superchargers 5 games, 2 people playing it that just works out at 10 figures each per game, of course not all of the Skylanders are playable figures too. They sell DLC stages too which come in the form of NFC figures and they are rather detailed for a dlc stage! We have 6 of those Stages over the games, 3 additional Battle arenas (more or less the same thing) and about 10 magic items like drop in potions or so which give you a fast boost during a stage for hard fights and such. I know you just played infinity but Skylanders works in a fairly easy way, each toy basically has 1 life for a stage, so if you have your fav figure and you get killed you either have to play as another dude, restart the stage or go to the local toy store and buy more figures (lives) the same works for the magic items, each of them has a certain time for the effect so when you drop it on the portal say... the potion heals for about 40 seconds, both skylanders who are on the portal with it, but you can drop it on for 10, get a quick top up and pull it from the portal saving the other 30 secs that stage for a later fight if you think you might get food before that would happen. It really is a great system in terms of managing your characters during harder stages and for Activision to sell loads of figures! |
How exactly is this a two player game? Is it actually two players or the wife does all the character swapping from the portal? 😋 I didn't really bother to check while I was playing.
Well buddy, you did it to me now. Over the past week I've spent $200 on used sets on eBay. About 80 characters, some portals and games. Spend about $100 at Gamestop for some odds and ends to finish sets. They are currently running a buy 2 get 3 free deal on used skylander/infinity. About $100 at Toys R us sale last week for buy 1 get 2 free on lightcores. Also a few supercharger characters and vehicles for $11 each and $10 off a $40 purchase. An additional $100 on traps, from wherever I can find them. These bitches are hard to find anywhere. Especially the undead and fire. Dark and light are pretty much impossible unless you are willing to spend for them.
