Nintendo's ecclesiastical romp swings into Europe this April...

Nintendo of Europe has announced that Pandora's Tower will release in our region on April 13th.

The publisher describes the game as an "action packed RPG". It features motion controls for combat that is not dissimilar to the gameplay found in the likes of God of War and Rygar.

Pandora's Tower tells the story of the soldier Aeron as he battles to save his fair friend Elena from a terrible fate. You must slay the beasts that lurk in the towers of a grand fortress and have Elena eat their flesh for her to be lifted of the curse of a monstrous creature.

Multiple endings, a "unique relationship system" for Aeron and Elena, and a New Game+ mode are hoped to give Pandora's Tower hefty replay value too.

The game is developed by Ganbarion, the studio behind the critically acclaimed DS beat 'em up Jump Super Stars.

It is currently one of the last scheduled first-party titles for Wii. Mario Party 9 is due out on March 2nd, with Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise expected to be dated somewhere in the first half the year.
