Planet Info:

Nocturna is a planet in Darkspore. It has four moons, and the planet orbits the brown dwarf star named Tibro, which does not provide enough heat or light to sustain life, therefore earning this planet the title "the Planet of Eternal Night". This planet was shown at Comic-con on /07/24/10/ to show off some of the game's level and graphical designs, Nocturna is the second planet the player visits in Darkspore.

A world of perpetual darkness, Nocturna orbits the brown dwarf star Tibro, collecting neither enough heat nor light to support life.
Millennia ago, the Crogenitors undertook massive geonuclear engineering projects, supplying enough heat to support the chemotropic life forms they transplanted there. As a cataclysmic side-effect, geysers and rivers of plasma erupted like lightning from the planet's mantle, held in place by patch-job Crogenitor energy webs.

But the constant use of those energy webs pierced dimensions, causing necrotic energy to flood into Nocturna, further mutating its biosphere and imbuing survivors with the ability to manipulate death-energy.

Plant life evolved to achieve bio-luminescence, a mutation arising from metabolizing the abundant deposits of phosphorescent crystals in the soil. But in Dark Eden, the crystals that once were rainbows of life are now a permanent, deathly white. In some regions, crystals have formed towers, absorbing and directing the flow of plasma streams, rivers and cascades.

As intelligent life arose in this grim and dangerous environment, it navigated Nocturna's shadows with its own bioluminescence. The armies of one Nocturni region eventually carved out strongholds on three continents, warring for domination for ages against its rivals. Finally uniting, these regions formed the unstoppable military force, the Nocturni Legion. The shadowy ruling body, the Nocturni Eternals, dominated its chain-gang Empire until it met an enemy even greater than itself: the Darkspore.

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.
