... and I like it.
The first impression is, that it does not look as great as The Last Story did. Seems, that TLS has set a new standard. So I recommend to play Pandora's Tower first, if you can. If you enter the towers, the looks get better, but not on the level of TLS. But the towers are a much more impressive and phantastic setting, than the world of TLS. The look at the towers in the middle of a deep rift build upon gigantic chains - that's something great.
The game starts with a short video - but without much of a background. You get more of the events, if you talk to Helena and Mavda later. After the Intro-video you find yourself fast in the first tower. You don't get much of an tutorial, but it starts simple and you get some infos about possible actions. Reading some of the first help-files could be wise.
But it's easy enough. Sword-combos with A, you can use the chain you got from Mavda with pointing on the screen and pressing B. The chain is from the start an important help in fighting the foes. HBut even if it is easy, you have quite some tactical options, that can you read up in the help-files. For the first enemies should it be enough to smash them up with the sword.
I found some old writings, that shed a little light on the history of the tower I visit. And this seems to develop in an interesting way.
So my overall first impression is - very good. I don't know if this will hold, but I'm quite optimistic. And I get the feeling, that the story and setting could be more interesting for me than TLS, but let's see. If the towers and monsters are generic the first impression could well be reversed.
What do you all think about the game?
