Doctor Who: The Adventure Games is now available for Windows PC and Mac on Steam, with a 10 percent discount for a limited time only.

The BBC sci-fi series has earned a cult following for itself, and after the closing down of the Doctor Who massively multiplayer online game Worlds in Time, at the end of February this year, fans of the series could only cringe when considering the prospect of playing the atrocious Doctor Who Legacy on mobile platforms.

Until today's great news, that is. In Doctor Who: The Adventure Games, players will be able to take on the role of the Eleventh Doctor's companion in five episodic games, Shadows of the Vashta Nerada, TARDIS, Blood of the Cybermen, City of the Daleks and The Gunpowder Plot.

Doctor Who: The Adventure Games' gameplay focuses on stealth and puzzle-solving, and players can collect various bonus cards with Doctor Who trivia.

The game was developed by Sumo Digital and the games are very audience-oriented and kid friendly. Individual chapters of the Doctor Who: The Adventure Games are available for free for UK residents, on the BBC website.

For the rest of the world, Doctor Who: The Adventure Games is available on Steam for $18 / €18, at a 10 percent discount, for just eight more hours.
