Toys For Bob sought to make a quality product that both kids and adults could enjoy in tandem. They greatly succeed with Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders Giants.

But as is the case with any runaway IP, one developer can't possibly be ready to have their hand in every creation, and eventually, projects start to trickle down to studios like Vicarious Visions -- a developer known for working on ports and spinoffs.

Sadly, one such mobile spinoff, Skylanders: Battlegrounds, hasn't been made with nearly as much care, and the IP suffers a bit for it.
