Darkspore (2011)
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Hack and slash/Beat 'em up
Themes:Action, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Darkspore was a video game that borrowed creature editing technology from Spore. It was described as "a fast-paced, science fiction action-role-playing game in which the player battled across alien worlds to save the galaxy from the mutated forces of Darkspore". In addition to the creature editor, the game featured a unique squad-based mechanic, various multiplayer options, and a player versus player arena. The game was released in North America on April 26, 2011 for Microsoft Windows, and in Europe on April 28, 2011.
EA seemingly has removed the store page of Darkspore from Steam, meaning any attempt to purchase it through Steam cannot be made. The game was later relisted with EA saying that they would continue to support for the game. Those who have purchased it prior to the page's removal still have the game and could play it until the servers were shut down permanently on March 1, 2016. The game is currently unplayable due to its DRM scheme requiring a connection.Show more
Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.1 779
To tell you the truth, I never got the chance to play this. It was because my computer was UBER outdated and couldn't play the demo for it. But I always had this game at the back of my head. It would be great to make this have a offline option if GOG can bring it back, for people like me who missed out on it, and for the people who miss this game. I am a mega fan of Spore, so being able to play this one will be a treat and a half!
I loved this game as a kid. Might not be the best ARPG, but it's one with some really interesting mechanics, such as the three hero party with synergistic squad abilities and the catalyst system; and the setting itself being alien science-fantasy, a more mature version of Spore, which I'm always a sucker for.
If I could vote for this game enough to have it greenlit, I would.
Didn't have more than maybe a couple hours to play this right before it got shut down, but I still have my CD copy just sitting in my room and I'd love to give it a chance again. The game was very unique for an ARPG, made by the folks who developed Spore and The Sims.
This for me is the perfect addition for a program that is all about game preservation, considering how the DRM of this game has made it inaccessible for some time now, Darkspore is a unique game with an interesting gameplay aspect to it with it's monster creator, it's a game that deserves a second chance at life
Might not been the flashiest, fanciest game out there but I played a shitload of it.
The game became unplayable when they killed the servers, because the always-online DRM failed to connect.
If GOG could somehow bring this game back, I'd repurchase it in a heartbeat.
I've never got to play this game but I absolutely loved SPORE. When I was a kid I drooled over the game but I wasn't ever able to buy it because I couldn't pay stuff online. I would love to experience it, with all its flaws and imperfections as many have stated, to fulfill one of my childhood wishes and dwell into the spooky spooks dark side of SPORE
Darkspore is a game that is slowly being lost to time, falling into obscurity and with less chances of getting preserved, this is what I feel makes it the right candidate for this program, SPORE already being here also makes me hope that GOG can become the means of which this game is resurrected and properly preserved, it had a great score, cool customization and fun combat
I would buy it in a heartbeat if it came back here
I always wanted to play this game, but at the time it was new, I didn’t have a job, and I couldn’t afford it. When I finally had the means, I discovered that the servers had been shut down. Unfortunately, the game Darkspore, developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts, is no longer playable today. Released in 2011, Darkspore required a constant internet connection due to its DRM system. On March 1, 2016, the game’s online servers were permanently shut down, making it inaccessible ever since. I always wanted to experience an ARPG with the possibility of physically modifying your characters with the traits of defeated enemies.
It was fun leveling the different characters, collecting equipment, and running missions with randoms. Reminded me a lot of how Warframe or Borderlands felt when it was first released. A very fun co-op game that should've never shut down.
I've loved pretty much any and all ARPG I've ever played but Darkspore's unit modification and unique team construction mechanics definitely set it apart and It is sorely missed. Also, I randomly got it free from Gamespy? I forgot exactly why, I won it via a tweet or something similar but it always reminds me of that neat memory too.
