Carl's Spore Walkthrough
Vote for this Guide
It is clearly impossible to write a proper walkthrough for Spore, considering the large amount of variability in the game. Still, there are so many options that some people might like tips and information on what's possible. For this reason, I am working to gather data and strategies about Spore to help players achieve their goals in the space stage.
The space stage is obviously the pinnacle of the game and will consume the most time and effort to master. Starting the stage with skills that compliment your playing style will really go a long way toward ensuring your success.
General | Cell | Creature | Tribal | Civilization | Space |
How you play Spore in each phase affects what abilities you receive in subsequent phases, culminating in a collection of four abilities for use in the space stage and an ultimate ability. You will gain an ability that affects each following stage, as well. During your first game you should just have fun, and do whatever feels natural. Later you may like to experiment with diferent paths of evolution. Click here for a list of end-game philosophies and super powers.
The difficulty is fairly even no matter which play style you choose, but it may be a bit more challenging, or just time consuming, to succeed as a middle of the road creation in the creature and tribal phases due to the necessity to balance your ratio of conquest to friendship. To make things more difficult, in the tribal stage you must switch back and forth from weapons to instruments. A balance of peaceful and aggressive creature parts and clothing is also more costly.
Ultimately, if you want an easier experience in the space stage of Spore, you should build your creature in a way that most benefits your play style. This is more important the higher your difficulty setting. Also note that if you start directly in any stage you may not receive bonuses depending on which creature you choose. Select a creature that has been through all four phases to gain the maximum benefit, otherwise create a creature from scratch to earn the Wanderer Passion achievement and achieve no bonuses (not recommended).
