Nintendo Announces Pandora's Tower Comes Out Across Europe On Wii From 13th April

Nintendo have announced Pandora's Tower is set to come out across Europe on the Wii from 13th April. The press release best describes the games' story:

"In Pandora’s Tower you take on the role of Aeron, a soldier, as he battles to save his beloved friend Elena from a mysterious curse that is gradually transforming her into a demonic creature. Only by battling through the towers of a nearby fortress can Aeron save her from her gruesome fate. Using his sword and the magical Oraclos Chain, Aeron must defeat the creatures that lurk there and harvest their meat to feed to Elena. Only by eating all of the “master flesh”, harvested from the largest monsters within each tower, will Elena be fully cured of the curse and free from its monstrous grip."

"By returning to Elena to feed her meat from the smaller monsters, you can slow down the transformation - but only temporarily. You will need to carefully judge when it is best to return to her, as not coming back in time could lead to Elena’s permanent transformation into a demonic beast."

The game has multiple endings and even a New Game+ Mode, but this dosen't mean the game will get easier. as you get to know more about her, if may actually make your quest even more difficult.
