The title gave me a scare, because it's a really good game, Thanks for reviewing it!

I absolutely love the skip battle function. The game doesn’t make you waste your time and I wish other games did the same

-Some clarifications for the people who want to play this game, you can limt break pass the star cap every limit break pass give you 2 more levels up to lvl 110. the 4th locked gear slot is unlocked at max star limit break which is another accesories used for 4 piece sets -Side story is just areas you can farm character fragments to later down the line unlock them -Ranked Matches are similar to strategy accept you most likely wont win a game if you auto because the unit placement order is random so you have to do it manually also you can ban units which makes them cost more. -The best gear in the game you can get free early on, its called maze and gordias gear which you obtain through pvp currency and challenge mode -Also this game has a SEA client that is way further ahead so a couple things that where nit picked will be added later which is dope i just hope they update global faster -Note there is only 1 mega server for global so its not all split to 999 servers that make the game feel dead

Counterside is amazing, I hope the global launch brings in players and money for the company. Amazing art and SO MANY FREE PULLS right now.

This game is amazing tbh. Main story is one of the best in mobile genre imo(with bunch twists, tragedy and betrayals). Soundtracks are amazing. Dailies are also quite fast to do because of battle skip feature. Character designs(both ingame and l2d) are my favorite so far. Only downside is it may feel overwhelming with bunch of currencies and shops.

I'm shocked to see Worst Gatcha and Counter:Side in one Title. My heart couldn't take it.... Until I actually watched the video. XD

Just invested 100$ into the monthly subscriptions stacked them for 3 months I fk with Counterside bigtime! Thank you for the well received video Stix✌️😎

I see you too have experienced the bottomless pit of content! Seriously though, there are so few RU-vid channels covering this game it's tragic. I too have a hard time finding an "END" to this game but, my body falls apart before the game does. I think the "Friendly" combat system is bugged because I am experiencing not being able to enter them as well. Maybe it's my bluestax emulator but, I am unable to access gauntlets as it crashes my emulator. Besides that only gripe, I am just enthralled at the game and can't wait to help continue to help expose it more!

I like this game so much. So many things to do and I’ve gotten a good deal of SSRs. Awakened Hilde is my fav so far. Edit: BTW, Artery Gear is almost out! I’ll be playing CS and AG 🤩

Fun fact: This is a rare Gacha where Gender bent Husbando can canonly exist as there is multiversal travel possible in their universe. Examples are Kyle Wong/Karin Wong, Joo Shiyoon/Joo Shiyoung, And whatever Na Yubin is when he became a woman.

Counter:Side is a good game, i've play this game for 2 months when they open their server at SEA, so much thing to do for daily grinding, a lot of waifu and husbando, the only problem is, i hate PVP in Gacha Game, no matter what they do to make it "fair" it still p2w, i prefer gacha game without pvp, This is my opinion tho

I love this game, it's one of my favourite games.

You don't need to do friendly manual matches to unlock manual ranked, you get the points in strategy auto battles.

I agree with this video, I started this game now I can't stop it's horrible! it's got me addicted someone help me this is too fun I'm feeling the urge to swipe!

The fact that I was so ready to throw hands over the title tells me how much I like this game😂

I played this game for a while back when it launch at SEA, it was really fun. But one of the things I was surprised of the most is the lifetime contract feature, it's actually very unique and I have encountered almost no gacha game having the same thing.

Should've named the expensive one the "I'm so rich that I can buy your love because I can't do that irl" option.

It's not chibi! Full size models is so huge, one of the best things gacha games can offer to you. Also you can see your characters on screen in action all the time. And so skins are really big in this one. Rates are not bad at all. I 1,2,3,4 pulled so many times. Eventually you will have them all, casually. As for ssr ships, you need to do dives and it's gonna take a while. Danger close will be the first time when auto will straight fail, so learning how to manual is going to be a thing later on.

🌸😼I would certainly utter that Counterside is not bad and I have been enjoying it quite a bit since release and have nearly obtained the entire available character roster.😼🌸

I really love this game. It allows you to use all-out gunjacks or slayers, while defender is TANK/MECH (???), which is awesome. And there's also some weird but funny SALARY NEGOTIATIONS, where you can talk to your employees, which is kinda strange but interesting! I actually laughed a lot when we had dialogue with a tank/helicopter. Soldiers are actually feel like usual people, while counters are way too selfish, or using phrases that recognize you just an employer, not a brother in arms. And there's a good strategy to use all militaries, it's like an entirely another game! I know it's not effective at all, but very funny to use! Overall, this game is good.

I just got the game today and got so many ssr's, like 12-13 and dupes too lol. I'm loving it so far because I'm a type of person drawn to story, and I love this one lol

I quite this game after doing 2x 10 rolls and only getting one purple out of it. It looks nice but if it gives me the same roll chances as Dislyte then it's a instant turn off.

I pretty much have almost every character in Counterside without spending anything, luckily there are guides to know which unit to use in the meta, the event is still the best place to farm coins for me, and I already getting close to obtaining the SSR ships since I was farming all day in dives, and most characters are banned in ranked, and no I haven't bought gear I farmed tier 6 gear, so it didn't bother me.

Suggestion for next video of this series do seven deadly sins grand cross would be nice, especially the game is on the 3rd anniversary right now

I have played worst gachas , with p2w summon system and no content at all , this is way better

Number of pulls till Pity doesn't actually matter. What matters is the pull income per week compared to pity when comparing. If one game has a 150 pity and gives 50 pulls a week, and another has a 30 pity and gives 10 pulls a week then they're essentially the same ya know. The higher pity is actually better in that case since it gives you more chances at a SR.

Haha my friend loves counterside and I saw this youtube title and was about to leave a really annoyed comment, then I watched your video. Great video! I think ill subscribe.

Couple things to clarify the find opponent in pvp only works when someone is sitting at main menu so all other times it will reject the request automatically if you are serious with direct pvp got to get into ranked or play with a friend that you can talk to not through the game. Fair warning though it matches you based on rank level and nothing else first day I went in with my level 70 everything team and ran into a team with a level 110 character and 7 other level 100's and got absolutely trashed so honestly unless every character is level 90 max skill level you might be fighting losing battles almost always. Also you can get a free SR ship by setting up 2 branches in the world map recommended getting the glepnir as it's good for all types while the other one the abraham is only good for mechs. Lastly always check the exchange center in the shop list via the bottom left that area you can basically got a lot of materials you need via gold or other currency obtained from some of the other content like dives, challenge mode, raids, etc it's a god send for free to play players.

As a f2p I've now hit that f2p ,curve. I've played for 5 days so far and I'm already lvl 28. I've been farming the event for the currency that allows you to choose an SSR of your choice. I do want rosaria Le friede as I love her beach skin and the way she stick her tongue out slightly. If I get her I will be happy but I'm also debating whether or not to get na yubin. Rosaria has insane crit tho which means her damage will be nuts. As soon as the event is over and if I don't get her I will probably stop playing as this games gacha system for f2p isn't great. My go to gacha game of sorts is probably WARFRAME as I was a veteran back in the day with an op Mr 25 account.

title: "worst gacha ever" Me: *happy squeals as i pull my 4th occurance of a double SSR in a single 10 pull*

This game is absolute bullcrap. Everyone who plays has a copy of A. HILDA. because they cheated the game meanwhile, people like me who want to casually enjoy the game het shafted by everyone who has her. I follow the summon suggestions and get nothing. I do missions on a daily and I get no rewards. These games are only fun to people who have too much money...cough to the east cough cough

I tried out Counterside when it was fresh and it was ROUGH. Bugs, Server issues during PvP, Balance issues as well as Abyssmal gacha rates and don't get me started on the various controversies...But, when I came back for the game's 2nd Anniversary, I was pleasantly surprised on how much the game improved in terms of QoL and changes to the gacha. While it still have its problems, it is going very strong. The game isn't my cup of tea (I am more into Destiny Child, PROJECT NIKKE WHEN!?) but hey to each their own.

At first I got really bad impression of it cuz the shop is really confusing. There's so many shops with many different currencies used in the game it's pretty overwhelming. I can't even tell what's good in the launch pack deals and there's so many of them too. So I just went on with the game not really expecting to stick around but the story quickly got me hooked up and later the rta is kinda fun so rn I promoted it to my third main games and spent money in it. I think I'm going to skip Artery Gear entirely because I don't think I'll have any spare time after focusing to min max Counterside. Besides, I'm kinda burned out with these pokemon style of battles in games.

I love Counterside. Sadly had to drop the game not because its bad, its very good but I just have no time. If ever I do make more time its definitely a game I am going back to

Counterside's Main Character lore say the Main Character is so powerful but in game the Main Character is a Potato. Got to Chapter 1 Act 3 last fight to get free Loyalty .

Yes, Counter:Side is WORTH GACHA EVER. It's made me PAID MORE THAN GENSHIN because Game Contents look to be CONSOLE more than MOBILE GAME.

I love this game. Gameplay is pretty nice but what catched me mostly is the story. I literally have never met that awesome plot in any mobile game. Also soundtracks are masterpieces (especially replacer knight and orca soundtracks)

Me patiently waiting for the sauce to get updated because I'm here too early

For the Ranked PVP, it was locked behind winning 4 Strategy Battles (more if you lose) Friendly PVP is just that, friendly with nothing to win or lose. As for the pity system, it's actually not that bad. The game gives pulls out readily early on, and as your account gets older and the freebies start to dwindle you get more sources that, while random, can end up increasing your pull stockpile considerably over time. If you're picky about who you pull for, it's very easy to guarantee the units you want. Excluding Awakeneds, unless you get lucky on those the pity system is pain.

the game isnt so bad as f2p just demanding, the standard banners are a bit of a pain...., but thankfully the awakened banner pity carry over so you can wait for reroll if you dont find someone else worth pulling for, but yea quite demanding though it takes up a significant portion of your time especially when u have to jiggle around equipment but thats probably just me. Otherwise it was a good game, played PvP, sadly i fell behind due to bad pulls and refusal to $$$, but doesnt mean my characters were completely useless you can still run older characters despite facing off new ones, just have to be good at how your using them.

Don't worry about building ships, building some facilities on the world map and Levelling up your units. just be patient and take it slowly. step by step and you'll get there.

An ad for counter:side: *shows an entire team of Mech types blasting through the battlefield* Me: Maybe try Mechs for difficult levels

Tried this game for several months on non-global servers (forgot which). It was pretty heavy on PVP so this game wasn't for me as someone who hates PvP. Also gacha tickets were pretty limited unless paying real money so one unlucky recruit could drain all the gacha tickets (they called it recruitment report or something). I also didn't like the balance of some overpowered characters. If you didn't have them you were fvcked in PvP (yeah all those awakened characters). And then the upgrading resources were also pretty slow to come by unless paying real money. In summary this is a P2W game (the PvE content becomes so hard it's tough to play for free) that is heavy on PvP. It can be fun for some people but be prepared to pay real money to enjoy to the full extent.

Have been playing it since it first released in SEA, still one of my favourite trio (including GI, HI and C:S). Thank you so much for reviewing this game!

Idk blue archive was an absolute nightmare

this game made me gave up on it for a year in KR server and never coming back

just to correct you. you dont need to do "friendly battles" to get the "100 Strategy Battle Points" to be able to play "Ranked". you just need enough wins in the normal "strategy battle".

The first day I played this game, I nearly uninstalled it because the units didn't look cool to me for some reason. Then I got Machine Collecter and said "maybe I'll stick around to see what comes next." Got Lee Yuri last week, which sold me on staying with the game because I got massive "The Division" vibes from her. Yes, I'm a fan of the first Division game, but I hated the second game

I played this game on release on SEA server and quit when A NA YU FUCKING BIN literally dominated pvp. If you didn't have him, it's literally impossible to have fun in pvp. Yeah, I remember looking forward to the story but I quit, so no story for me. I also remember this being one of the most generous gacha game ever, until at one point I saw in KR server that they started nerfing the rates, which was all the more reason to quit.

SHEESH bro I was TERRIFIED by the title hahaha. I've been loving Counterside so was worried it wouldn't have longevity. I just hit lvl50 the other day and have enjoyed the game a lot!

FYI the side stories give you a lot of context as far as the main story goes. Also you unlock nodes for farming for characters from them as well.

That bad pity system is kind of a red flag for me.

Gosh i hope the devs keep this game, i still love it a bit too much to say goodbye

how do i get the game to play when it keeps giving me an error message and restarting the app???? someone please help

Not to mention that every half-year, the game gives you 150 pulls

I ran out of things to do in Counterside unless an event drops by

At least you got to live out your dream of being a CEO of a company full of sexy waifus for a week. That's what we call looking at the counter side of life. The pantyhose lining of things. The- okay I'll stop.

Here I am, sitting not very patiently, in the Counterside Global PC client waiting room.

Ranked is manual pvp

Most these games are money pits. I think I'm going to stay away from gacha games from now on

The only thing this game doesnt have that I really want to see is a global chat system and the ability to name your squads

Hey, do you continue playing some of the gachas on your videos, after you upload the videos?

These titles feel so clickbait but in a good way. Great video!

Most gacha games can inherently be carried by their art (if the publishing company isn't Crunchy or Bilibili). The only real bad thing about Counterside is I can't personally connect with half of the units seeing as though they had some random Korean name slapped onto them.

The issue I've had is that I can't even play. The game has so many bugs, and I just happen to be a victim of the worst one. I've tried since the release date to play, but I encounter a black screen once I pass the login. My device is a Motorola Edge 5G, so it isn't the issue. I won't judge the game itself, but it's disheartening to not even be able to play.

I can never forget you because your on my screen the second I open yt

You get the points for ranked battle through strategy battle, not friendly battle. Friendly battle is just fighting with your friends, you don’t get anything from it(Atleast, I don’t think you get anything from it. Never tried it out)

My only problem is with the waifus/husbandos , the characters fell so generic and unnapelative ( in looks atleast 'cause THOSE VFX!) and as someone mostly focused on action games i don't think that's the game for me , i played Destiny Child before for a loong time and believe me , when you have too much time left those types of games tend to become more and more frustating as you try to follow the meta or rise on the leaderboards

Personaly, i like the game at the begigning, but as i play, well, i dont know the story is already bothering me the tipical, story so big and that, i like the part the good girl, think a girl die and the girl was alive and even attend her own funeral, but i already not like when the game trys to be too deep, in another time maybe i like it, but rigth now, like in the artery gear i am here for the waifus, and not a fun of husbandous sorry years ago i was not so pervert, but rigth now, i am well a bit too depress, to care.. As for the gameplay i like at the beggining a unique tower defense, like the idea, and i think was smart the idea, you cant just pill up the characters, need to think the team and i love the idea and having fun, but well, first the combat, as i progress devolver into just throw more or less everihting to the same time even when i try to use the units i need to counter, it devolver and the screen was such a thing it looks likke one of these new movies, where you dotn know what is happening. I love the artstile and the gamplay nice ideas, but when artery fusion came and i find solidious i just diding care about counterside

Worst Gacha Series'🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love when We Do this😂

gotta love getting an ad for the game being talked about lol

Guess you missed the fact that ranked PvP unlocks after you get 100 STRATEGY points. Play the Strategy Battle mode until you win enough points.

Mobile games have better soundtracks than most triple A games these days... That shop music is the best lmfao from action packed main menu to chill af.

Stix likes waifus. Change My Mind🤣😂

I have found nothing but pain in this game. Nothing but pain.

My motto: if you see sigma then RUN SHES SO POWERFULL

I just read the title and had to see what this is about cuz this is the best game i've played in a long time

This one was nice, until they invented awakened units that powercrept everything and ruined pvp lol Just why Also the jp dub is meh, they even hired good VAs but most of the lines reek of low effort.

Loved the game the characters and the story were great just had to quit since game keeps crashing on my phone

Challenge mode is only meant for MAXed units. You ain't getting stuff with under leveled 70-ish and 50 ship. Plus the events and stuff they give you is way better than any other Games that offer. P.S. Don't DIS about PvP cause what I saw on your vid is you going for friendly. Just get that 100 (Obviously you already made it.) Strategic pts and you can now play PvP manually.

Hopefully this game lasts more than 2 years. I doubt it though. I do have the char in countersides title screen and i am using the JPN client on bluestacks. i wont ever drop money gacha i dont pay for pngs animated or not but these gacha seem to similar. ive seen the same room builders 10+ times before...

First Play at Korea server. Then play at SEA and still play it tilll now. Already got some good Awaken char and all. Great game!

3:19 me with awakened sigma be like.

There should be 2v2 pvp battles for more fun

Bro, here's a game to review: 7 Mortal Sins X-Tasy, There's a lot of controversy about it :)

I tried it, and it looks like a very good game. The story seems really well written too. But I uninstalled it because I hate that the player is represented as the admin that controls that annoying robot thing. I know he's not supposed to be in public, but I don't like us interacting with the characters as that tin can. The characters are well written and we have to talk to them as some annoying scrap metal? No thanks. I don't want to talk to them like that. That and one of the characters I like hates our guts.

Saw the title. Heard the first 20 seconds.... We almost had to throw hands 😤

I've played quite a few gacha games in my time, but CounterSide and Alchemy stars are the only ones that were actually good enough to stick to for me.

Counterside is good for waifus only..has some good features but overall if you arent a whale,you wont accomplish much

i got my first ssr ship in 2 weeks just need to keep up on playing the game thats all.

Jeez Louise! Hay, I am female, so I guess the appeal of bulbous cartoon bazongas escapes me. But really? People gonna pay big bucks to ‘own’ these babes? And then refer to them as ‘units’?

If only e7 was like this

Stix, as much as I love you, I gotta say the review was a bit on the shallow side, mainly due to you not having explored a lot of the stuff yet. I am not sure why you didn't talk about the story though, may be you might have skipped through it all but the story is actually quite good with a plethora of cliffhangers that leave a positive hunger for more in the future. The best part about this game is it's pvp but sadly, you didn't get to experience it due to the misunderstanding...None plays the friendly matches, it's meant for you and your friends (Mrs. Stix potentially). What people spend most of their time on is the ranked gauntlet and I can tell you, for me that is the best pvp system I have seen in my entire mobile game career. The gear that you talked about buying is good in the early weeks but will be replaced with better stuff just by playing regularly, spending money on it is useless. The only thing worth buying is the battlepass through a monthly 13$ subscription and that's it, you really don't need anything more to enjoy the game. As for p2w pvp, if you are okay with not being in the absolute top, you will find the pvp very addicting at whichever rank you are in since you have all the options in the world to select from SSR to R units that can have equal importance (yes, even R units come out as top picks in pvp). I personally just revel in the feeling of satisfaction when I beat a someone who spent a lot of money just by quick-thinking and good reactions and decisions. With the parent company publishing this game for global, things will be quite generous and eventually everyone will have the same units where it will all come down to who makes the best decisions and knows what kind of gears to use. But then again, they release content and units every week so the game never gets stale. I would highly recommend checking out the stuff I said for everyone. You will find the game's pvp is top notch with the endless options and stunning visuals if you like me, want some fun pvp and think that chasing leaderboards in gachas and games with 'Critical hit' mechanics is a waste of time and money

let take a moment to um adjust the screen salute!

It’s give time make you lucky.

I’ve still got a long way to go with this game. It’s very fun

It’s normal my game crash every two fight

This looks exhausting

PLS someone have told him you fight premade squads to get 100 points in strategy battles. I bet u tried to get them in friendly battles where u cant even get points
