Darkspore, a spin-off from EA’s successful Spore game, is a hack ‘n slash RPG title with a sci-fi story setting. The title will be heading to the PC platform in North America on March 29th, 2011 and in Europe (and therefore South Africa) on April 1st, 2011. The news was announced via the official Darkspore forums.
In Darkspore, players will be able to customize their characters in a similar vein to the genetic customization found in Spore. There are apparently thousands of body parts to collect throughout the game, on top of weapons and armour.
The story goes that for eons the Crogenitors traversed the galaxy, genetically transforming and sculpting living matter to their will. In their unchecked arrogance they created something they could not control – the Darkspore. Now the galaxy is under siege.
Using the powers of E-DNA, the Darkspore has transformed planetary populations into mutated hordes. Its sole purpose is to dominate life on all planets.
Players take on the role of a fugitive, whom has remained hidden for a millennium. Their mission is to reconstruct an arsenal of genetic heroes and lead the battle against the Darkspore.
The game will feature four player co-op and a player versus player battle system. Check out the Darkspore trailer for a taste of the action.
