Darkspore (PC)
Darkspore is an online Action-RPG where you can play up to four players in co-op and PvP. Instead of playing a single hero character, you collect and control many heroes, each with their own unique set of special abilities. Battle across alien worlds to collect loot that you can use for upgrades. Deeply customize your heroes in an Editor based on the award-winning Creature Editor technology from Spore™.
Set in a sci-fi universe, E-DNA has escaped the lab and allowed the Darkspore to overrun all planetary life. After eons of hiding in hypersleep, you have been awakened with a mission: Reconstruct an arsenal of Genetic Heroes and destroy the Darkspore!

Hack n' slash your way through Maxis' outer space dungeon crawler that offers Spore's stellar character customization, but none of the humor or innovation.

Spore sheds its raw ambition and evolves into an addictive Diablo clone.

What it lacks in variety and narrative, Darkspore makes up for with fun cooperative combat and character customization that deepens the more you play.
