There was a lot of potential, and I think that if they did a sequel where they added depth to every stage it would've been a lot better. I mean the last part of the game is a 4x like Stellaris, other parts are RTS / city builders, etc.

On that note, I wonder why there hasn't been anything like it from the indie developer space.

There was a community effort to make such a game since the original Spore came out.

Since this was too ambitious, they focussed just on the cell stage. They are working on that to this day.

I think the fundamental creature tech was so expensive (time and scale) to develop that indies couldn't possibly replicate it
