It’s a monster-battling fest aimed at children, with new features including the ability to trap beasts then play as them. This is a proper, full Skylanders game, complete with its own joypad and tablet stand to use with the Skylanders figures. You need a recent Android device – a list is provided on the Google Play store – and 2.5GB of free space to install the new Skylanders team, but it’s worth the hassle.
