In part 1-1 we should destroy some Darkspore in Floating Islands on Zelem's Nexus, the ruins of planet Nakto. It's a very first level in the game and it's designed for low level heroes.

Planet Info:

Zelem's Nexus is the name given to the ruins of the once a peaceful planet called Nakto. When it's star, Zee-Nakto collapsed, Crogenitor Zelem spent the rest of his life building a massive planet-size cylindrical ring that holds all the planet's fragments. The Black Hole that Zelem's Nexus orbits around is called Wha Nakto. Although going unnoticed by most other civilizations, the battle between The Darkspore and The Crogenitors that took place there was later called 'The Nexus Massacre'.

The Nexus is contained within a gigantic cylindrical ring covered in thousands of small hexagon-shaped windows that continuously pulsate a blue light. The Nexus is now littered with the debris planet fragments, ancient fossils, crashed space vessels, and ruins of buildings. Many of the isles are connected by the energy bridges seen above, with one particularly long bridge, which allows players to see Wha Nakto clearly through a relatively small breach in the shield.

Crogenitor Merak accidently caused billions of deaths when he was working alongside Zelem. He accidentally shattered some of the shields that held in the islands' atmosphere, causing tons and tons of Zelemi, as well as their home isles, to be sucked into the vaccum of space and/or into Wha Nakto.

Beings from Zelem's Nexus are Called 'Zelemi'.

Eons ago, the star Zee-Nakto collapsed into a black hole, destroying most of its planets. Using his advanced gravitic technology, Crogenitor Zelem engineered one of the great marvels of the galaxy: his Nexus, a chain of asteroid islands and atmosphere preserved inside a vast, transparent cylindrical tube called the Shield Ring.

Zelem spent the rest of his existence maintaining the massive gravity engines that held his Nexus together. Constructing a teleportation network, he moved easily from island to island, studying the evolution of the surviving life forms. A complex array of independent cultures developed, until one intelligent species after another learned to use the teleportation grid and set out exploring the entire Nexus. Zelem regarded the integrated Nexus civilization that arose as his one of the greatest achievements of his career.

In the ensuing centuries, Zelem made detailed studies of countless individual beings, carefully selecting and enhancing hundreds of them to produce a handful of his own genetic heroes.

Zelem and his world were the first victims of the Darkspore, in a bloodbath called the the Nexus Massacre.

Technical notes:

This is a story mode playthrough of Darkspore, the multiplayer ARPG from the SPORE series, created by MAXIS and published by EA. It starts from the tutorial and ends after the final battle. During this videos I'll play this game for my very first time and, therefore, I'll be noobish like hell. A lot of things in this game isn't intuitive (for example it took me some time to understand that item levels is much more important than item bonuses, no matter how cool those bonuses looks) and it looks like a made every possible mistake on my first try. So, if this videos looks noobish, it's because I was a complete noob back then.

Why did I recorded my first playthrough then? Because there's no chance for the second one in this game. That's it, there's no option to start a new game from very beginning, or to delete your account and create another one. The only way to start a new game in Darkspore is to buy a new copy. Believe it, or not. There's no end in this game and you can play through the game again and again and again, but only during your first time you'll get a story comments on your journey from HELIX AI. Even if you'll replay the same levels later, there'll be no story info in them. Therefore, your very first run through the game is the only way to learn the story and you can't return to it again. You can enjoy story in Darkspore only once during your lifetime (if you're not crazy enough to buy another box, or digital copy) and that's why I decided to record it.

So, this videos are not about the skill, but about the story. If you want to see skills, look elsewhere, but if you want to re-watch the story events, here's your chance.

Videos recorded with FRAPS, in-game graphics settings is on max. Playthrough splitted in chapters. Once level - one video.
