About Counterpact

Counterpact is a 2D platform-shooter that pits two teams against each other, or a solo player against the tough, radiant forces the Gilded Spire has to offer.

7 Unique Characters
Each playable character comes with their own set of mechanics. If you enjoy glass cannon gameplay, try Shiniko the Reaper, who can output some serious damage despite her low health and close-ranged attacks; use her Dash to maneuver around (or through) enemies. Prefer to take a beefier approach? Try SYS.TR the Bulwark, who can use channel the damage she receives into powerful auras using her Rerouted Power.

Different Weapons to Try
Don't like how a character plays by default? Maybe the current situation calls for something different? Perhaps you're just looking for to spice up their gameplay? Each character has a variety of alternate weapons to choose from, some of which even change their role, all while keeping their core mechanics intact. New weapons will be added over time as well.

Over 200 Cosmetics to Collect
By simply playing the game (no microtransactions are involved), you can earn Eclipsium which can be used to purchase new weapons and cosmetics. Cosmetic items include different outfits for characters, little pets that follow you, chairs that you can sit on, emotes to taunt with, and more. Having a hard time getting what you want? Don't worry, you can even trade items with other players.

Enter the Gilded Spire
If you want a solo experience, the Gilded Spire awaits you. Fight through four floors of bulky enemies and traps for a chance to earn riches. If you really want to challenge yourself and reap great rewards, try conquering the Gilded Spire on the Blinding difficulty. After that, you can truly test yourself with Gilded Gauntlets.

This one’s a bit of a meh. The multiplayer’s completely dead and the single-player is barebones but damn, it was fun while it lasted. You can easily imagine how wild the multiplayer must’ve been back in its prime. I really wish there was some way to bring games like this back to life there are so many hidden gems that just faded away. I’m sure plenty of people would jump back in if there were a way to rally the community. As it stands now though, it’s not really worth your time.

Well, i had the occasion to play one round in multiplayer and it was really fun. I bet if this game had more people playing it online it would be a BANGER Cause ngl, the solo mode is kinda repetitive. It would be could if you could play the multiplayer gamemodes but with bots.

This game is a joke. Login with either STEAM or Counterpact doesn't matter. There is no option to play. It just keeps going through a loop to login. Take this "game"? and shove it where the sun don't shine.

The game feels very arcade and I enjoy it. Underrated game.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
