Gameplay

The object of the game is to fight Kaos' warlords using the players Skylanders. The four warlords are Arbor Eater, Mega Chompulon, Chompy Mage, and King Brock. In the game, the Skylands are made up of many hexagonal tiles. To move around the Skylands, tap and slide the players Skylander from one tile to another. There are several types of tiles.

To fight an enemy, the player must step on the same tile as them. Then two of their Skylanders will be transported to a battleground. The battleground they are sent to is determined by the type of tile the player and the enemy stepped on. Several waves of enemies will appear and attack the players Skylanders. Players must fight using the Skylanders by tapping the Skylander and sliding their finger to where they want them to move. If the player slides their finger towards an enemy, the Skylander will attack the enemy. Players can also use special abilities and magic items. Winning battles will earn players coins and experience points. Players might also get gems and magic items.

After the player completes a task in the Skylands, a portal will appear. Moving onto the same tile as the portal will end the level and automatically send the player to the next one.
