I remember Doctor Who: The Adventure Games fondly for its engaging narratives that weren’t possible in the show back in 2010. It featured original compelling stories that tried to replicate the episodic format of the show.
Players primarily controlled the Eleventh Doctor and his companions at the time which were Amy Pond and Rory Williams. Early episodes enabled fans to face off against iconic aliens from the show like the Daleks and Cyberman in stories heavily inspired by their serials in the 1960s. However, later episodes in the game become more ambitious even featuring returning aliens (Vashta Nerada and the Rutans) we never got see Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor interact with in the actual show. The game’s also packed with collectibles, easter eggs and references to both classic and modern Doctor Who up until 2011.
As a Whovian, I’m jealous that Star Wars and Star Trek have so much of their gaming libraries preserved and accessible across GOG and Steam. Doctor Who currently doesn’t have that luxury. Regardless of overall quality, the brands past games deserve to be preserved.
