Doctor Who Infinity delivers new Who tales wrapped in a puzzle shell at the moment

Doctor Who hasn’t all the time had the perfect relationship with videogames (the much less stated about Dalek Attack, the higher), however Doctor Who Infinity, launched at the moment, would possibly simply be value a glance. Successor to Doctor Who: Legacy on cellular (which I’ve been instructed is kind of good), Infinity is a sequence of semi-animated and narrated Doctor Who comics, with motion sequences taking part in out as a match-three puzzle. While all of it sounds just a little bit Puzzle Quest on the floor, there appears to be just a little extra depth and selection to this than I first anticipated.

Developed by Tiny Rebel & Seed Studio and that includes new tales from frequent Who novel and comedian authors, the core of Doctor Who Infinity appears to be its episodic storytelling. Launching with three self-contained tales (every from a special author – George Mann, Gary Russell and Scott Handcock on this first wave) it doesn’t restrict itself to a single Doctor. Peter Capaldi’s twelfth incarnation could also be main the cost within the first story – The Dalek Invasion Of Time – however I spot David Tennant and Jon Pertwee’s variations of the character within the trailer beneath.

While the ‘action’ a part of the sport – a match-three puzzle – seems easy at first blush, it seems Infinity regularly mixes up the method. One mission I’ve seen in video previews had gamers outmanoeuvre and chip away on the well being of a single robust boss Dalek, distracting it from the Doctor’s piece on the board with holograms. Another was a extra conventional technique affair, with combos of colors summoning extra troops onto the board to assault enemy items. While Infinity’s key enchantment is in its recent Who tales, it’s seems some effort made to maintain the puzzle half different.

Doctor Who Infinity is out now on Steam and Humble at £9.29/10/$11 for the primary two tales, or in a pair quid additional for all three, once more on Steam and Humble.
