Darkspore Beta Review

Another unusual article in a day of unusual articles, as IGX Pro pens a review of Darkspore based on the beta version they’ve been playing, giving it a 6/10.

The game is not all customizing and chatting it does have plenty of fighting and enjoyable combat at that. First off, you are provided with four magical attacks of your chosen hero and you get one other magical ability from each of the two additional heroes in your squad, all of which consume Power which is quite limited. There is a strategy to choosing who you want in your squad before each level to ensure you have the magical abilities you want. Aside from using various magical abilities you are generally going to be using your main physical attack that is used by simply clicking and holding your cursor on an enemy until it dies.

The real draw to this game, for me at least, is not the combat or the customization it is the collecting the various upgrades and items that you gain from defeating enemies and raiding Obelisks. Must like Diablo there are Unique, Rare and Pure items in order from most common to least. At the end of each level you also have a chance to use medals awarded to ‘˜roll the dice’ for a chance to get rare or pure items as well. You can double your chances by saving your medals and pushing forward to the next level without editing your hero and trying again with tow (rolls of the dice’ which can net you two pure items instead of just one.
