New details arise concerning the game's control scheme and plot.
With Pandora's Tower due out in Japan next month, retailers have begun sharing new tidbits of information regarding Nintendo's new Wii title.
Pandora's Tower supports numerous control schemes. Players can choose to play the game in a traditional way using the Classic Controller or by using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. When using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk combination, the Wii Remote acts as a chain, thereby making players feel as though they are actually swinging a chain. The Classic Controller, as one would expect, relies on button-based combinations.
The main character of the game, Ende, uses a chain as his primary weapon. This item can be used to tear flesh from beasts that he comes into contact with, as well as to manipulate switches. The game's heroine, Ceres, requires the flesh of beasts in order to survive a curse, which is slowly transforming her mind and body into a beast.
Retailers have also revealed that the game is an "exploration-style action RPG," thereby causing some to speculate as to whether or not it is similar to the Metroid or Castlevania series. The game features thirteen towers, and a boss lies at the end of each tower.
Pandora's Tower is set for a May 26 release in Japan. The game is rated C by CERO.
