Skylanders Imaginators: Create Your Own Adventure on Switch!
425This is a review of Skylanders Imaginators for the Nintendo Switch by 8-Bit Eric. Skylanders Imaginators is the latest toy-powered game from Activision where you unlock characters with beautifully-crafted physical plastic figures, for the first time in the series, you can create your own skylanders.
Each created Skylander requires a creation crystal of the element type that you need. The creation system is surprisingly robust, with all kinds of customisation options available to the player. Seriously it is pretty impressive with how much options you have to make the type of neat little skylander you want to control.
These crystals cannot be erased and used again completely, you also cannot change your created skylanders battle class. Chests in the game give you new body parts for your created Skylanders as well as new voices, weapons and body builds to play around with.
Your creations can be customised and changed on-the-fly. The Senseis, which are more traditional figures that use of Sky Chi to do massive damage and also gate the 10 Sensei bonus levels. Buy the Starter Pack and you have everything you need to complete the game and create one character of your own.
It comes with Master King Pen, one Creation Crystal, and Golden Queen. King Pen is, as you may have surmised, a character based on a penguin who packs a cool bladed attack. Golden Queen looks like an Egyptian queen and is also enjoyable to use. The Creation Crystal is used to store your custom Skylander.
You can also use any of your existing Skylander characters with the game to help you progress, the Switch edition doesn't include the Superchargers racing levels so you can't use your vehicle or trap toys there. Kinda sucks, means you can’t use the bowser or DK figures.
Skylanders Imaginators is unique on the Switch for not using a portal peripheral to access your characters. You simply place them on the right Joy-Con's NFC touch point and they’ll be registered in the game, permanently. Then you can switch between any of your Skylanders at will by pausing and selecting the one you want. It is noticeably inferior to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One editions in its visual presentation.
When played while docked, it looks great with a pretty steady framerate, though not anywhere near as dense and vibrant as the Playstation 4 version. The game looks much softer and actually somewhat blurry when played un-docked. Aside from those differences, the Switch version is more or less the same exact game that came out in October 2016.
