CounterSide 12+

Update as of 2024: I just came back to this game because I heard rumors long ago that the company wasn’t doing well and they were probably shutting down the game so I stopped playing. Really unfortunate but I’m back now and have noticed a lot of new content. Wish I never left! I wish this game and game company the best and I hope they prosper. One of my favorite gachas for sure!

I love this game so much. I’ve played it for 2+ years now and would say this is a top 3 gacha game. I’ve played so many games and this one really stuck with me. I love the story, characters, combat, all the different/diverse missions. Obtaining gear is the name of the game and is crucial to being successful. Obtaining gear isn’t easy but it’s not hard either. There is a good amount to be obtained but to roll the exact stats you want can be a little hard and like every other gacha you need to pray to the RNG gods. But all in all this game has a great community, seems like the devs have a passion for the game and listen to the community. They have a roadmap for future content which is nice to see what’s upcoming every month…

Dear CEO, Thank you for your feedback and trying CounterSide. We really do appreciate you sharing some of your time and leaving us a review. We will take your feedback and deliver it to the team. Thank you.

DISCLAIMER: I am currently writing this review after I’ve already uninstalled the game roughly half a year ago.

TDLR: Definite recommend- simple (don’t really have to use your brain that much) strategy, great graphics, good characters & backstory, and intriguing story. Also Korean.
I genuinely did enjoy playing the game, experiencing the story, the characters, and the combat. The only problem is, I played everything I’m fairly sure I could’ve and I’m not a very patient man so of course- I uninstalled to go download something else on my phone. I would come back if they added more story bits but personally it was a one and done deal. For those wanting to play I’d definitely recommend this game, great fun, nice time spender. You don’t have to pay to play/win, and it uses strategy (unless you filled your squad with overpowered units) to win the game, although it’s not Arknights kind of strategy I still do enjoy the simple strategy thing it has. (Soldier/mech-only squad viable when??)

Dear CEO, thank you for sharing your experience with the game and we are glad to know that you had a great time playing Counterside! The story of Counterside is also barely starting and there is so much more to come, so we hope to see you there as the game ventures into new adventures. Thank you for your kind words!

When i first saw this game i was hyped and when i got the message that the pre-registered game was available to play I was even more excited. Its been a while since then and I must say that I genuinely enjoyed the game and events. However I noticed several p2w aspects that ruins the game for me. A new counter character is released one after another by the next week or so and its incredibly infuriating because of the lack of gems that we get from just playing, I don't want to have to spend so much money just to get one character that I want and the amount of money required to spend for skins is ridiculous, I know you need to make money but come on now this seems like over doing it. Lastly I want to talk about the horrendous storage issue. Every time the game needs to update i get an error that claims that the game cannot update due to insufficient storage even though i have mote than enough storage, because of this annoying issue it prevents me from opening and playing the game. At this rate I'm tired of storage issues. Like how much storage is required for an update? Its completely ridiculous to have to put up with such a turn-off from a pretty good game. please fix the storage issue.
