Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure is an action role-playing game developed by Toys for Bob and released in 2011 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Wii U, PC, and Mac. The first entry in the Skylanders series, it introduces a distinctive mechanic in which physical toy figures communicate with the game through a peripheral called the Portal of Power, which reads each figure via NFC technology. Players use these collectible figures to bring characters into the game world, progressing through hack-and-slash and adventure gameplay. The title features a voice cast that includes Josh Keaton, Dave Wittenberg, Darin De Paul, Joey Camen, Audrey Wasilewski, Keythe Farley, and Kevin Michael Richardson. The integration of physical toys with digital gameplay established a toys-to-life format that became the defining characteristic of the broader Skylanders franchise.
The game is set around Spyro and his Skylander friends who have to defeat Kaos, the evil Portal Master. The game is played as a third-person action game and each character has different abilities. The characters are divided into eight groups (classes) tied to the eight elements that are in the game: air, water, earth, tech, undead, magic, fire, and life, with four characters in each element. Each character has two primary attacks, both of which can be upgraded by using coins collected in the game. Experience also leads to new abilities, also unlocked by discovering certain hats, and eventually a tertiary attack. Among the line of toys there are randomly inserted Gold, Platinum and Pearl versions of certain characters.
