The easiest comparison you can make to Darkspore after you see it is Blizzard's Diablo -- a game that's arguably the king of PC action-RPGs. Like Diablo, Darkspore has several classes you can play (essentially a warrior, a mage, and a rogue) and is largely a game that drives players with the promise of greater and greater loot. However, unlike Diablo -- where the loot consisted of things like weapons and armor -- Darkspore awards the players with a series of parts that they can use to evolve their heroes.
Darkspore is back on Steam, following its recent removal from the digital distribution service over service issues.
In the wake of the game's removal from Steam, developer Maxis has denied claims that Darkspore has been abandoned, instead announcing that a persistent play-denying issue has been fixed after months of gamer complaints.
GameZone writes, "Electronic Arts has reached out to us to clarify some confusion stemming from a game-breaking bug in Darkspore that resulted in players unable to log-in to the game and its eventual removal from the Steam store."
