In Skylanders Imaginators Activision honors the popular ’90s video game hero in a fun new way. No Crash game would be complete without jumping over dynamite boxes to blow them up or collecting bazooka boxes to get a rocket launcher. This wacky jamraj comes with a full set of moves and upgrades, the basis of which is still his favorite spin attack. Crash fans will see many references to his past, including countdown timers, Wumpa fruit, air strike using a jetpack, and more.
As a representative of a new hero class in Skylanders Imaginators – Sensei – Crash will combine elements adored by fans of the new class of heroes – Sensei. In Skylanders Imaginators each Sensei has a devastating Sky-Chi attack – this is their most powerful ability. Crash’s attack uses a yo-yo to pull enemies into swing attack range!
The role of Crash will be reprized by Jess Harnell, thanks to which Skylanders Imaginators will stay true to the game the fans know and love. These are only some of the flavors preserved in Skylanders Imaginators!
Skylanders Imaginators allows players to let their imagination run wild and create their own Skylanders. Portal Masters will have a lot of possibilities at their disposal – they will decide about the appearance, powers, abilities, names, taunts and musical motives of the characters – thanks to which they will create the Skylanders of their dreams.
The wicked Kaos seeks to seize power over the Skylands with the help of an unstoppable army of Doomlanders. Only Portal Masters can defeat him, using their imaginations and creating their own Skylanders – Imaginators. Fighting side by side with the Imaginators are Sensei, mighty, mysterious warriors who have learned the secrets of ancient fighting styles.
In Skylanders Imaginators the wormhole has opened and the great Aku Aku has emerged! He has come to announce a holiday of synchronization which takes place every twenty years. All worlds then arrange themselves in perfect order. There is a huge party on the Wumpa Islands to which all Skylanders are invited. Unfortunately, Kaos and his army of Doomlanders are trying to take over the Skylands, so the Skylanders must work to thwart his evil plans. The fearless redhead, Crash Bandicoot, jumps into the wormhole to help the Skylanders fight Kaos!
