How it feels

a quiet, methodical simulation of pulling levers and watching balls drop, appealing mainly to those who enjoy the slow rhythm of pachinko mechanics rather than fast-paced excitement.

About

PachPara 13 is one of the many titles in Irem's long-running pachinko simulation series. It features faithful 3D recreations of two pachinko machines made by Sanyo Bussan: CR Super Umi Monogatari M55W and CR Super Umi Monogatari M55X. There are two modes available: Tsūjō (Normal) mode allows the player to modify a wide range of settings for each machine, while Jissen (Battle) mode challenges the player to win as many balls as possible on the default settings with a limited starting pool and time limit. There is also a View mode where the various animations that play on the in-game display can be freely viewed.
