It's not "Spore 2," but now more "extreme" or gothic and moody with dog collars and thrashing metal -- in fact, it's not even in the same genre. While studio Maxis' previous output tended to remain within the "simulation/strategy" ; theme, Darkspore represents a departure by being an action-RPG.
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."
