help Darkspore FAQ
Is Darkspore connected to Spore?
Darkspore is a 2011 Microsoft Windows action RPG from Maxis and Electronic Arts that reused creature-editing technology from Spore. It was designed as a standalone game rather than an expansion pack.
How does Darkspore's creature customization work?
Its Hero editor lets players alter body parts, armor, weapons, facial features, and color. The system includes thousands of parts, and DNA functions as the in-game currency for customization.
What is the squad mechanic in Darkspore?
Darkspore centers on squads of genetic heroes that players take across alien worlds, with different abilities shaping combat choices. It also included multiplayer options and a player-versus-player arena, as described in [EA's producer notes](https://www.ea.com/en-au/news/darkspore-producer-diary).
Can Darkspore still be played online?
The original Windows game required a persistent internet connection and an EA account. Its servers closed permanently on March 1, 2016, and the always-online design made the game unplayable afterward.
