You might instead fancy a game where you play either as or against the Daleks in a Star Wars Battlefront-style action shooter.įurther Reading: What’s Next for Doctor Who?Īs we’ve seen in many of the games connected to the new series (as opposed to pre-2005 efforts like Dalek Attack and Destiny of the Doctors), the character is better suited to gameplay that emphasizes collecting, exploring, and solving puzzles over combat.
The program doesn’t lend itself to gameplay where you beat up enemies and bosses. To paraphrase one of Steven Moffat’s more lyrical waxings, the Doctor is a character who doesn’t carry a gun, but instead has a screwdriver to fix things. That’s not for lack of trying, especially since the series was revived in 2005, but then the uniqueness of the Whoniverse, and of the Doctor as a hero within it, poses certain storytelling challenges for game developers.
Unlike other globally recognizable licenses, Doctor Who has yet to get a video game adaptation that fully lives up to its potential.
