Gaming Union: "Generation of Chaos Pandora's Reflection is a toned down SRPG that is a good choice for people who want an easy to understand experience with no strings attached. However, players will find that the real challenge lies in effectively moving your characters in on the map and not in the actual battles themselves. There are some decent concepts here, but also quite few that fall a bit flat."
Pandora's Reflection is a strategy game in real time with some elements of turn-based strategy. Its stage Hades, an inhospitable place, where the poor are oppressed and a gray rain falls from the sky and malignant slowly weakens living beings throughout their existence, culminating in his death. People live in fear of both the gray rain as corrupt men, the rich of the world, a bit like our world with the addition of a rain.
The story revolves around a young alchemist named Claude and his sister Yuri. Yuri was inflicted with a curse that inflicts constant pain. Claude uses his powers of alchemy to create medicines for her, and the two travel the land in search of an ingredient quite coveted, snowdrops.
Go Critic: As a Vita owner, the lack of exclusive releases (or releases in general) can be quite frustrating. Fortunately, there is a large well of PSP titles with which to draw from that continues to expand despite that console’s status as a “dead” system. Generation of Chaos: Pandora’s Reflection is the latest to breathe life into Sony’s handheld market and despite its label as a niche Japanese title, does an admirable job of providing a unique and enjoyable experience.
Hades is a dark place stricken by a painful, environmental condition called Ashen Rain. The inhabitants of this world are stricken with fear the moment the skies darken. Claude, a young alchemist, braves the dangerous rain to find a cure for his ailing sister, Yuri. Cursed with a glowing Butterfly on her neck, Yuri struggles to maintain her strength while consuming the only thing capable of subduing her pain - a medicine that contains a rare ingredient called ‘snowdrops’.
As they arrive in a small town, Claude and Yuri are approached by a guard after he hears of strangers acting suspicious. After a skirmish with the local guards, Claude and his sister encounter an old man named Phineas. The plot quickly deepens when they discover that the old man is actually the leader of a sadistic cult. To make matters worse, Phineas discovers Yuri’s butterfly mark and believes she is a goddess sent to lead his people. Things couldn’t get any worse.
