Skylanders: Swap Force is a platformer with RPG and hack-and-slash elements developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision, released in 2013 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii, and Wii U. It is the third main entry in the Skylanders franchise, following Skylanders: Giants, and continues the series' integration of physical toy figures with gameplay. The cast includes a substantial ensemble of voice actors, among them Troy Baker, John DiMaggio, Josh Keaton, Gregg Berger, and Robin Atkin Downes. The game marked several firsts for the franchise: it was the initial Skylanders title to launch in North America ahead of other regions, reversing the pattern of the two previous installments, and was also the first entry in the series not to be owned by Vivendi. Skylanders: Trap Team followed it as the next mainline release.
The story begins with Master Eon introducing the player to the world of Skylands as well as its protectors, the Skylanders. The veteran Portal Master then reveals the backstory of a special group of Skylanders known as the SWAP Force, who protected the Cloudbreak Islands and its magical volcano that regenerates the magic in all of Skylands every one hundred years. During an epic battle against a swarm of Fire Vipers summoned by a dark figure, the SWAP Force were caught in the eruption of the magic volcano, which granted them the ability to swap halves, but in the process banished them to Earth. In the present, Flynn is on vacation at the Cloudbreak Islands to see its next one hundredth eruption. He is encountered by Tessa, a fox girl riding on a large bird named Whiskers, and thrust into another adventure when Kaos ordered a group of Greebles to attack Tessa's village before the volcano celebration...
