But despite not being Spore’s sequel it successfully mixes Spore-like character creation with combat in a way Spore never quite managed. And this is possibly the most interesting aspect of the game. Once you finish a level you can go back into the character editor with the DNA and parts that you’ve collected, and then use your accumulated DNA to buy limbs and re-design your Hero. The re-designs aren’t exactly drastic. Unlike Spore it’s focused more on function than straight and pure creativity, so unfortunately you can’t expect to fight brigades of penis-shaped enemies in PVP. Limbs have more of a practical purpose in this game, with every part giving your Hero additional HP, strength, stamina, and so on.
