Gameplay
--------
Gameplay within Darkspore is set in the aftermath of a
scientific experiment gone disastrously wrong. After unstable
"Exponential " (E-) escaped the lab, it created mutated
hordes of Darkspore creatures who -- under a mysterious leader
called The Corruptor -- overran the galaxy. After eons of hiding
in hyper-, you have been awakened by your spaceship computer
with a message from a long dormant computer network: E- has
been stabilized. Use it to upgrade a collection of Genetic Heroes
and fight back against the Darkspore. Each of these has their own
unique abilities that can be used in combat. Switch between each
of these heroes as you play through different levels and fight
different Darkspore enemies. Upgrade your heroes by collecting
parts that add stats to make your heroes more powerful. Customize
your heroes and parts in nearly infinite ways. Organize your
heroes into squads of three, and decide which squad has the best
combination of heroes to defeat the enemies on each planet you
encounter. Use "squad abilities" to combine attacks from
different heroes simultaneously. Play through a loot-driven
campaign against the Darkspore in solo or co-op modes, as the
game is designed for co-op from the ground up. Discover and
unlock ancient Crogenitor obelisks containing bonus loot. In
addition, players can compete against other players in online
matches.
