Skylanders Trap Team for Nintendo 3DS introduces players to an adventure where Kaos seeks to dominate Skylands by freeing villains from Cloudcracker Prison. Players, acting as Portal Masters, must capture these villains using Traptanium Traps to thwart Kaos’s plans. Unlike the home console versions, the 3DS edition features distinct gameplay mechanics and narrative elements tailored for handheld experience.
In Skylanders Trap Team, Kaos continues his ongoing quest to rule over Skylands. He has discovered the location of the legendary Cloudcracker Prison -- a fortress built entirely out of the magical substance Traptanium and home to Skylands’ most nefarious baddies. In an attempt to build his own army of foes, Kaos blows up the prison, releasing the most wanted villains and blasting shards of Traptanium to Earth in the form of Traps. Now it’s up to Portal Masters to recapture all of the escaped villains using powerful Traptanium Traps and defeat Kaos before it’s too late!
The 3DS ports of the first four Skylanders games are completely different from their home console counterparts in terms of gameplay and story.
