CounterSide is supposed to be the successor to the PVP-centric gacha game Epic Seven. Years later, let's examine what it does and does not do well. Being also an entry for an gacha focused on PVP, you can imagine I have some things to say about it.

So this review is not gonna be the most in-depth, since midway through my playthrough, I sort of just lost interest playing. While I tried to cover the main stuff, there are some other end-game modes that I didn't cover, like Shadow Palace or Dives. I know it's there, I just didn't talk about it.
