Broken Game

I loved this game for a long while as a fan of the franchise, but with some events you can’t hope to get the new characters without paying for at least a few packages which isn’t fair to those with limited funding.
On top of that this is the second season pass in a row where I can’t open the pass to claim my rewards which makes it useless to me, on top of the pop ups for deals messing up cutscenes and double energy offers.
Overall the game needs a lot of work when it didn’t used to be this bad!
At least offer something to your players to make up for all the rewards they miss out on by not being able to open the season passes!

Minor nitpicks

In events the option to watch an ad to double earning while you were away is broken. It will show a string of in app purchases with a painfully long time between dismissing one and seeing the next, during this time you can’t interact with the game. Events also make you do an annoying forced tutorial when you start them that should have an option to skip after a couple events as you know the mechanics at that point.

Loved the crossover event with the lower decks game by the same developer. It was cool having a simultaneous event in both games, and seeing the characters in both games art styles. My minor quibbles also apply to the lower decks game.

Still, if you like idle games and long for a madman in a blue box to whisk you away, this is the game for you.

Slow

The game is slow and not like the ads. Would be nice if it wasn’t all about watching ads for other games.

Love!!! (with one caveat)

I am a longtime fan of Doctor Who, and when I found this game I was enthralled!! I have been playing for the last few months and it is very nice for those who enjoy formats such as “AdVenture Capitalist”, and the rewards systems individually seem very fair and balanced. However, the one comment I will make is regarding the pay-to-access rewards that make it essentially impossible to place within the top 50 of many events. I understand the ultimate purpose of this within the story-mode, but it takes much of the “hope” out of playing events! Love the show and game, but not enough to drop 4-15 dollars for extra cards or diamonds on a 24 hour event (with all respect possible).

Would definitely recommend this game, just know some aspects of the game (specifically the events) appear somewhat as “pay to win”.

Good game

I think this game is good. It’s fun and quite straight forward, I like that you have the option to buy your way to the top but can also work your way there just as easily. I love how there are constant events to compete in and win great rewards to help towards your main game progress, and I like the story that comes with progressing through the game. Overall I think this game is great and I’m glad I found it.

There seems to be more glitches

I’ve been playing the game since the beginning and as the game has evolved, there has been more and more problems. This last game has been very glitchy. I played the same as I do normally. I’m usually in the top 10 finishers. I’m usually between first and fifth place, But for some reason, even after putting in extra effort this time, I’m not even close to being able to get any crystals. It seems like the game is not accepting all of the upgrades correctly. I don’t mind putting in extra money once in a while, but it has been getting very very hard to, justify playing the game if you’re not getting what you’re paying for.
I’ve been very disappointed, I was hoping that the game would have less problems by this time.
I love playing anything to do with Doctor Who, but lately I’m not sure which way this game is going?
I would love to give the game five stars out of five stars, but again I’m not sure if the game is accepting all of my upgrades??

It would be nice to let players know what changes you are going to be adding to the game before you make the changes. This last game has been very confusing😳

Time travelers are GREAT!

Edited: This game is FANTASTIC! (Speaking of which, they should add the Ninth Doctor.) For people who say it’s boring, I disagree. I love the new Season Pass feature. The support team is super helpful. They fixed the issue below in under 24 hours!
Original: Sorry for the 1-star review. I’ll take it down as soon as you resolve this, I promise. So, in the most recent Season Pass, with the Autons in Kerb!am, one of the rewards was Donna Noble. I collected all the Donna rewards, only to find that she’s the 60th Anniversary Donna, not the Series 4 one. She didn’t show up in the Tenth Doctor’s TARDIS, she just went to the regular Character collection, presumably to go with the Fourteenth. And so I have the wrong Donna. After I had completed the Season Pass, someone fixed this and put Series 4 Donna in the pass, but it was too late for me. I can’t re-collect the rewards. Suggestion: send a gift in the Inbox with at least one Series 4 Donna card, if not the 15 cards I would have gotten from the pass. Please fix this! Thanks! BTW, if you need to send the gift to just me, my player name is the same as the name on this review.
Original review retained for proof that this issue is indeed a glitch, for anyone else who has experienced this.

Fun, even if glitchy

I'm a long time player. I even tried the Star Trek version (same game, different characters). They keep up with new characters and content updates, which I appreciate. There is an occasional glitch that I have to resolve with an app restart.

My biggest issue is the flash of bright white screen when you claim a reward (which is frequent). The game itself is fairly dark, so it's kinda painful, especially if playing in dim lighting. I've taken to closing my eyes for a few seconds when I hit claim.
