click here to see it big! Doctor Who was, of course, a time travel series and War of the Daleks deals with different factions of Daleks from different points in time, all converging on the long abandoned Dalek homeworld of Skaro to attempt to retrieve or destroy Davros - the original scientist who genetically engineered them from the humanoid Kaleds, and their one time leader.

To understand more of the game, check the History of Time: Doctor Who was never great on continuity but - after a lot of work - the timeline does explain how the Dalek's all get into the game and what their objectives are.

Below are shots of the War of the Daleks game at shows and so forth.
