ポラリスコード
ポラリスコード (Polaris Chord) is the newest BEMANI game from KONAMI. The game is themed about the player being an intern at a TV station called SHIBA TV, who works with the crew to recruit characters called "Contenters" to create video content.
The controller in the cabinet consists of a keyboard with 12 physical keys, and two faders behind the keyboard. There are two monitors: a touch panel monitor, and another monitor which is used to display music videos during gameplay, and reactions of the Contenters during the results. The cabinet also includes a headphone jack terminal on its left side.
Its working title was Xross Infection. ポラリスコード's machine serial number and version ID start with XIF.
Game
Game Modes
There are three separate game modes:
- BEGINNER (ビギナーモード): only two songs, and can only play up to HARD difficulty. Can fail out.
- BASIC (ベーシックモード): play three songs without rating restrictions. Requires PASELI. Cannot fail out early.
- TIMER (タイマーモード): play with a set amount of time. Options are four, six, eight, and 12 minutes. Cannot fail out early.
In the location tests, there were only 7 minutes per credit, and the game ended when the time ran out.
Gameplay
Players have to form a unit using the Contenters that can be obtained through gacha, each one with different abilites that affect scores and the life gauge. During gameplay, press the keys while the scrolling notes, from the back to the front, reach the judgement line, located on the lower screen. However, players do not have to hit the specific key on the keyboard to match the note on the screen. Instead, hitting the key(s) surrounding the scrolling note is sufficient.
There are different types of notes:
- Tap: A regular note.
- Honeycomb: A slide note across several keys
- Fader: Move one of the faders in the direction of the arrow shown in the screen.
ポラリスコード uses a life gauge system. If the life gauge depletes, the game will continue, although the gauge cannot be risen.
Upon selecting a song, the player can select from one of five difficulties: EASY, NORMAL, HARD, INFLUENCE, and POLAR. Levels are rated from 1 (easiest) to 12 (hardest).
