About the game "COUNTER: SIDE

COUNTER: SIDE" is an "all-area RPG" that combines character development, strategy, story, and animation!

Immersive worldview and story
The setting is 2044. The "erosion phenomenon" from the underworld "counter side" that attempts to invade the real world "normal side" has occurred. The player, the president of a private military company, takes command of a platoon of "counters" with different abilities and fights against the "erosion" that attempts to invade the "Normal Side".
In addition to a meticulously crafted worldview and storyline, the game features high-quality animation at key points, all of which combine to create a highly immersive title.

The two "C "s that support the game
＜CREATIVE
More than 100 characters are dynamically and beautifully illustrated using Live2D, and more than 200 high-quality cutscenes are provided.
In addition to the main scenario of more than 250,000 characters (equivalent to 2.5 paperback books), there are side stories and event stories to enjoy the story more deeply, and all original BGM and animations to liven up the storyline.

＜CONTENTS
In this title, players command their own "platoon" and defend their own position while destroying the enemy's main position in a real-time line battle using an offensive battle system.
Character development is of course included, as well as PvE content such as real-time PvP and raids, making this title a combination of real-time strategy/simulation elements and training-based RPG elements.

▼More than 50 voice actors
The theme song for the Japanese version was newly composed for "COUNTER: SIDE" by popular voice actress Nana Mizuki. The main characters will be voiced by popular voice actors such as Jun Fukuyama and Yoko Hikasa, and more than 50 other voice actors will be used.
