Doctor Who Appgear Game Apps Now Available

Doctor Who Appgear Game

With thanks to Alasdair Dewar…

Apps available from itunes or google

Order from www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk

All Packaging images on this page were taken by ourselves.

As Earth nears total destruction by his old enemies, The Eleventh Doctor is tasked for a last-ditch mission to save the planet in this immersive first-person shooter for iPhone and Android smartphones.

After the Doctor disappeared, the Cybermen and Daleks went to war across the universe. And on each world they destroyed they left in their wake, Stone Angels, picking over the the dead and dying. But the Cleric army fought back and scoured the dead worlds left after the wars, looking for the wreckage of Daleks, Cybermen,and broken Angels to create a hugely powerful ‘anti-time’ device.

A device part Dalek, part Cyber technology and used the Quantum Signature from the Angel to trigger a Gateway to pull enemies into the Time Vortex… Erasing them from Time completely.

Features…
*Connect Smart device to Doctor Who Dalek/Cyberman Pistol to turn your world into a digital battlefield.
*Aim pistol and pull trigger to shoot Daleks, Angels and Cybermen in the game.
*Point Pistol down to reload ammo.
*Controls use the first-person viewpoint with pan and tilt function.

Augmented reality

The Device uses ‘Augmented Reality’ this means it uses the phone or iPod touch camera to generate the game environment. The enemy forces graphics are then generated on top of this with an artificial horizon line. This means you can see enemies attacking you in any environment you are in…

    I have downloaded this on my phone, it is good but you only get to do one mission and for the rest you need the gun, its so annoying, i wish you could do the missions without having to use and pay for the gun

      The ‘scan’ of the gun is different to the actual one, it is of the anti time device thing.

      i think the picture at the top is an old one

    • Dalek Prime Minister

      October 3rd, 2012 - 9:30pm

      It seems the app has been out since mid September for Android but no one told us… https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wowwee.drwho&hl=en

      We’ve tried contacting Character and WowWee for more info and when it’ll be released for iOS but they haven’t replied yet.

    Nah sorry bad idea. A Doctor Who FPS? I thought that the Doctor was a character of non-violence and resorts to peaceful solutions like talking his way out (except in Earthshock and a few others) but I guess that it isn’t such a bad idea. The whole “virtual” world thingy sounds cool and does it mention the 11th Doctor picking up a gun in a “last ditch situation”? even the Doctor has taken on situations gretaer than the Earth being invaded by Daleks and Cybermen without even touching a gun so why would he resort to using one now?
