When EA announced Darkspore earlier this summer, the fusion between Spore's character customization and a Diablo-esque RPG set in space makes for an interesting set-up. Last night, Destructoid had the chance to see how the game's PvP elements are coming together, and while Diablo and Torchlight clearly have inspired the game, there's enough here that makes the multiplayer unique and worth playing.

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."
