Legacy...of the Doctor

That was rather a longer posting gap than I was expecting.
Without further ado:
Doctor Who, in all its forms, is amazing. This is a simple fact. Sure, there's the occasional (or even not so occasional) bad episode, terrible 'monster,' or misjudged characterization. But on the whole, the good far outweighs the bad. For the doubters among you, go watch An Unearthly Child, or Rose, or Blink, or The Eleventh Hour. If you're more familiar with Who and its concepts, go watch Name/Night/Day of the Doctor, or The Doctor's Wife, or The Deadly Assassin, or The War Games. Go listen to The Chimes of Midnight, or Dark Eyes, or Colditz, or The Light at the End. Go read the Hunters of the Burning Stone trade, or the novel The Wheel of Ice. Or go pick something totally different. (But not Love and Monsters. Please, no.)
Go on. Don't worry, I'll wait.



...
Got that cleared up, then? Good.
Now that we're on the same page, that Doctor Who is amazing in its various guises, I'd like to present a contradiction.
Games.
Doctor Who has a notoriously terrible track record with games. They're mostly rubbish, and when the anniversary Google Doodle is many people's favorite Who game, you know there's something wrong.
Tiny Rebel Games, under the direction of Susan and Lee Cummings, decided to change that. Enter Doctor Who: Legacy.
Legacy is a turn-based match-3 RPG. On your turn, you can move a gem from anywhere on the board, creating as many combinations of 3 or more of the same color as possible. At first, the game seems relatively simple, but the difficulty significantly increases as you go through the story and face stronger and cleverer enemies. The characters you put on your team, with individual colors and abilities, and they way you level them up becomes crucial to making it through the game, adding an additional level of strategy.
And the game has characters. Lots and lots of characters. In addition to the Eleventh, Tenth, Ninth, War, Eighth, Seventh, Sixth, Third, Second, and First Doctors, most of which have additional unlockable 'costumes', there are also a multitude of 'companions.' The developers have taken that term very loosely, and the characters range from Madame Vastra, Jenny, Clara, and Strax to Sarah Jane and K-9 to Craig Owens, the team from The Rebel Flesh, Winston Churchill, Silent Preists, and Adipose. Many of these characters also have different costumes which can be unlocked. These characters and costumes occasionally drop as you play through the levels. Of all these various characters (and many more I haven't listed), you can choose one Doctor and five companions for your team (you can save five different team setups at a time, and change them whenever you like outside of levels).
But, you might ask, why are (almost) all the Doctors here? And their companions? Good question. Eleven discovers that the web of time is damaged, and that time is folding in on itself. This proves to be the work of the Sontaran Empire, (along with the remnants of the Zygon Fleet) trying to create the perfect war. As a result of this damage, the Doctor finds himself revisiting many of his old adventures as he gathers his companions and various incarnations to stop them. However, in a masterful twist, it is revealed that the Sontarans are not the true enemy...
The levels currently are mostly based off of NuWho, primarily from the Moffat years, with a few levels from the RTD years. However, the developers plan to continue creating content for the game until they reach all the way back to the very first episode, An Unearthly Child.
And the best part of all of this? The game is entirely free-to-play. And not in the standard "but there's energy systems and wait times, unless you want to pay more," or "this level cannot be beaten without paying for special powerups," or "well, the first three levels are free." It's entirely possible to complete the entire game without spending a cent. Of course, the developers would like some profit, so you can choose to buy time crystals (though some will drop in-game), which can be used in the store to unlock characters or outfits without having to wait for the in-game drop, or to revive you if you've failed a level and want to keep going from that point in the level, and there's a special fan area which has a few exclusive characters and levels (unlocked with a 4.99 purchase of Time Crystals), but none of this is necessary for the enjoyment or completion of the game.
Doctor Who:  Legacy come highly recommended, and is available through IOS, Android, and (soon) Facebook.

If you want a head start, the current Humble Books Bundle contains a code to unlock ten Doctors immediately (Here), and Doctor Who Gifts guide is running a competition to win 13 time crystals, an Adipose, and an alternate costume for Ten Here.
