‘Skylanders: Cloud Patrol’ Comes to iOS and ‘Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure’ Gets Final Three Characters

After the initial announcement of Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure, there was mention of a mobile app in development alongside the proper console release. Just how the game’s plethora of characters and technology would tie between consoles, PC and Apple’s iOS was quickly debated by the toy and gaming communities. Once Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure was released, players were welcomed into two separate but interconnected worlds where their figures gained life both in a classic adventure style game on consoles and the minigame-centric PC community. Now, using those same unique character codes, players can import their Skylander into their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with Skylanders: Cloud Patrol.

Skylanders: Cloud Patrol is a shooting gallery style game with some inspirations from Fruit Ninja. Players take their Skylander, with the ability to unlock more through either gameplay or redeeming codes from purchased figures, and target the trolls that have escaped into the Skylands. Players group together shots to release combos while avoiding hitting bombs which end the game for them. At only 99 cents, Cloud Patrol is the cheapest addition to the Skylanders library for any player and provides a simple but fun burst of entertainment while utilizing characters players have already become familiar with.

“Skylanders is already a huge success both on consoles and the web with Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure and Skylanders Spyro’s Universe and we are excited to bring the franchise to the mobile platform,”said John Coyne, vice president, consumer marketing. “Now with Cloud Patrol, fans have a brand new way to interact with their favorite Skylanders characters on the go in fun a new form of gameplay.”

The timing couldn’t have been better for Skylanders: Cloud Patrol to release as the final three Skylanders are now available. Warnado, Camo and Wham-Shell are now in stores so players can complete their 32 piece collection, all of which can be played in the upcoming Skylanders: Giants set this fall. Check out the character descriptions, galleries and vignettes below of all three new Skylanders.

Warnado

One Strike And You’re Out!

Element: Air

Primary Attack: Spin Attack

Secondary Attack: Summon Tornado

Upgrades include:

• Sharp Shell
• Whirlwind Flight
• Turtle Slam

Bio: Warnado was hatched in the fury of a rare and powerful Enchanted Twister. Although initially frightened and quite dizzy, over the passing years he grew to enjoy his whirling surroundings and learned many abilities and secrets of the Air Element. This led to Warnado becoming a powerful force and the only known turtle of his kind. Now, the only time he gets dizzy is when standing still.

Camo

Roast-N-Toast

Element: Life

Primary Attack: Sun Burst

Secondary Attack: Firecracker Vines

Upgrades include:

• Searing Sun Blast
• Melon Fountain
• Peppers of Potency

Bio: Hatched at the roots of the Tree of Life, Camo is half-dragon, half-plant – with effervescent life energy flowing through his scaly leaves. This power allows him to cultivate fruits and vegetables at a highly-accelerated rate, which causes them to explode when they ripen. Camo’s unique gift caught the eye of Master Eon, initially because he was hungry and tried to eat a melon that exploded in his face. But upon realizing his true power, Eon convinced Camo to help the Skylanders protect their world.

Wham-Shell

Brace for the Mace!

Element: Water

Primary Attack: Malacostracan Mace

Secondary Attack: Starfish Bullets

Upgrades include:

• King’s Mace
• Poseidon Strike
• Mega Trident

Bio: Wham-Shell was ruler of a kingdom deep in the oceans of Skylands that for a long time lived peacefully. That is, until his underwater utopia was invaded by a legion of oil-drilling trolls that scattered his people to the wind. Armed with a powerful mace that had been handed down from one king to the next for generations, Wham-Shell defeated the greedy trolls and drove them away. Soon after, he joined the Skylanders to help defend against this type of atrocity ever happening again.
