GamingUnion – Darkspore beta impressions

One of the bigger and more exciting features of Darkspore is the level of customization. Using an enhanced version of the Spore Creator editor, Darkspore’s editor allows you to customize your heroes’ equipment to a great extent. You can also edit the default look of your heroes. However, equipping items and weapons isn’t quite clear and will take a bit of tinkering to get adjusted. A tutorial on this part of the game would have made understanding it a lot quicker, in my opinion. Unlike games like WoW and League of Legends where players are given item slots that are clear on their purposes, Darkspore requires you to actually drag items on to your hero, some of which aren’t quite obvious as to what they actually are or do until I read the descriptions. New items can be picked up as drops or purchased through the ship’s shop. However, what’s neat is that you can customize each item and how they are placed on your hero.
