PANDORA'S TOWER (NINTENDO WII)

The game takes place in the mysterious kingdom of Elyria. The player assumes the role of a novice warrior called Aeron, who tries to save a young girl Elena. In the middle of the harvest festival, she becomes enslaved by a curse that slowly turns her into a monster. The only way to reverse the situation is to give the girl thirteen pieces of an artifact called Master Flesh, which can be found in the Okanos wastelands. Pandora's Tower is filled with an atmosphere of loneliness and danger. The plot mainly focuses on building the relationship between Aeron and Elena. A few characters are also introduced at length, for example Mavda, a merchant from the Vestra tribe, who helps the protagonist on his journey.

Game mechanics are reminiscent of those used in the Metroid and Zelda series, but with a much more linear structure. Aeron wanders sequentially through thirteen towers filled to the brim with logic puzzles, challenges, and ruthless adversaries. As for his weapons, he uses Oraclos Chain and a few optional melee weapons, like Athosian Sword, both of which are used to solve mysteries. The main objective of each round is to find the chamber with the boss, defeat it, and collect Master Flesh, the food needed to cure Elena of her doomed fate. During the expedition, the player must keep an eye on the time limit. If he exceeds it, Elena will turn into a fearsome beast and perish as a human of the world. Pandora's Tower also makes good use of the console's unique attributes. All actions related to the use of Oraclos Chain are fully motion controlled.
