In Doctor Who: Time of the Daleks; players take on the role of the Doctor; travelling throughout time and space; finding new companions and having adventures to repair the web of time. Players do this by overcoming challenges. The Doctor can overcome most challenges he encounters; but he always needs his Companions to help give him an edge. Players must cooperate to stop the Daleks; while trying to get their TARDIS to Gallifrey first; to prevent Davros from invading the Matrix in the first place.
