#DARK SPORE CREATURE CREATOR PC#

Even though the different protagonists will be hand-crafted by Maxis at the start, rest assured that there will be plenty of room for customization. Choosing who to include in your party is the key, as each type of creature has a Pokemon-ish system of strengths and weaknesses. This is where a great deal of the strategy comes from. There are three basic classes: Ravagers (speedy melee fighters), Sentinels (tanks), and Tempests (ranged supporters), and each class has numerous sub-types including plants, animals, robots, lightning wielders, and many more. Players will be able to switch between which of the three party members they control at any given time, and each creature available will be distinctly different and play into a different combat strategy. This being the case, Darkspore is modeled to be a Diablo-esque RPG in which the player controls a party of three creatures. Executive Producer Michael Perry stated that according the the feedback that they received, people's favorite part of Spore was the Creature stage, which was very much a rudimentary RPG. So, what kind of gameplay can we expect from Darkspore? Well, Maxis tailored the game in response to what they saw as the most successful aspects of Spore. With this time saved, there can be an incredible amount of extra time spent on the creative aspects of character creation, as well as other areas of the game. This means that when the good folks at Maxis want to add in some more characters, they don't have to spend nearly as much time creating animations and physics for the characters from scratch. Every character in the game, good and bad, comes from the creature creator. Not only is the creature creator a cool thing for players, it's also a fantastic tool for the developers. This seemed like too good of a feature to be showcased in one game and left behind, and I'm excited that it'll get it's moment in the spotlight once again. That was the magic with it within reason, if you could dream it, you could do it. I wasn't a huge fan of Spore on the whole, but I did shamelessly spend many a precious hour toying around with the creature creator seeing what kinds of wild monsters my brain could dream up. What it does borrow from Spore is the incredibly robust and deep creature creator. Darkspore is an action-RPG, allowing the player to create their very own genetically engineered super beast and tear through legions of alien scum. Now, in 2011, Spore creator Maxis (though without Will Wright) is attempting to take what worked in their evolutionary adventure title and form it into a brand new game that borrows elements from all across gaming.ĭespite its name, Darkspore is not a prequel, sequel, expansion, or in any other way related to Spore in terms of story, setting, or anything else in-game.
