XSEED Games Unleashes Pandora’s Tower
Torrance, Calif., (April 16, in the year of our Lord
2013) – XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher,
today announced that the action role-playing title, Pandora’s
Tower™, is now shipping to select retailers in North America and
is available exclusively for Wii™ at an MSRP of $39.99.
Pandora’s Tower takes the classic fairytale theme of a maiden in
distress and adds a twist, with the protagonist setting out to
vanquish over a dozen vicious monsters and collect their flesh
in order to free the object of his affection from an evil curse.
A tale of unfortunate circumstances, Pandora’s Tower opens in
the Kingdom of Elyria, where an unassuming singer named Elena is
subjected to a horrific curse during a festival performance.
Bearing an arcane mark on her back, she begins a seemingly
irreversible transformation into a savage monster. It comes to
pass that only the brave Aeron, a young ex-soldier whose heart
has forever been pledged to Elena, can save her.
Heeding the advice of a mysterious merchant named Mavda, Aeron
learns that he must descend into The Scar, a massive chasm tied
down by twelve chains connected to a floating island in its
center, atop which sit thirteen interconnected towers. There, he
must use his sword and various other weapons in addition to the
sacred Oraclos Chain to battle his way through each tower and
extract the flesh of the boss “masters” that inhabit the Scar’s
towers. Only by consuming the flesh of all of the masters can
Elena reverse her ongoing transformation. But the clock is
ticking! The longer Aeron takes to vanquish each beast, the less
human Elena becomes, affecting her character and the game’s
final outcome.
“We are pleased to be able to bring Pandora’s Tower to fans,”
said Ken Berry, Executive Vice President of XSEED Games. “It is
a cherished and beloved game that has made its mark within the
gaming community, so we couldn’t be more thrilled to have a hand
in its US release to allow for even more gamers to enjoy its
allure.”
Pandora’s Tower was developed in Japan by Ganbarion in
conjunction with Nintendo, exclusively for Wii. The game is
published by XSEED Games in North America and is rated T for
Teen by the ESRB. The problems with this game are Blood and Gore, Mild Suggestive Themes,
and Violence.
