CounterSide in IOS

Urban Graphic Novel RPG

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

87/100

CounterSide is a powerhouse in the urban fantasy RPG genre. It differentiates itself from other gacha games with its 'Graphic Novel' approach to storytelling—the plot is genuinely deep and mature, focusing on the conflict between 'Counters' and 'Corrupted Objects.' The Live2D animation is some of the best I've seen on mobile, giving every character a sense of life even during dialogue scenes.

The 'Line Battle' gameplay requires more strategy than just tapping skills. You have to consider squad composition, deployment costs, and the timing of your ultimate moves to turn the tide of battle. The production value is sky-high, featuring a grandiose BGM and fully voiced characters. If you're looking for an RPG that treats its story and tactical depth with as much respect as its character designs, CounterSide is an easy recommendation.
