Skylanders: Cloud Patrol has launched on iOS devices.

The arcade shooter is set in a brand new area of Skylands and features a cast of more than 30 characters.

Players take control of an airship, ridding the skies of the evil minions of Portal Master Kaos through the use of touch, tap and swipe gestures.

Additional characters and magic items can be unlocked by inputting codes bundled with the Skylanders action figures, while in-game currency, which can be earned or purchased, can also be used to add characters.

The game also features achievements, leaderboards and a 3D character viewer.

Launching last October, Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure makes use of a portal peripheral, which recreates a toy in-game when it is placed on top of the device.

It was followed by Skylanders: Spyro's Universe, a massively-multiplayer online spinoff which is currently in its beta phase.

A full sequel, titled Skylanders Giants, will be released later this year. It introduces 20 new collectable figures, including eight giant toys, which are more than twice the size of regular models.
