The Current State of Counterpact
[ 2022-10-21 19:45:34 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hello everybody! Last Friday, Counterpact was opened to the public through Early Access. Since then, there has been a much larger turnout than I was expecting. It has been fun playing with you all so far, so I want to say thank you for playing! I hope you are enjoying the game, and I hope to continue seeing you all. With that said, you may have noticed some persistent issues occurring while trying to play (especially today). I just want to make it clear that I am aware of these issues, and they are being worked on. I am asking for your understanding and patience regarding these issues; please keep in mind the game is in Early Access.
- The official servers have been frequently crashing today. This event was unprecedented, and only started occurring today. I am unable to determine the exact source of these crashes at this time, but I will be switching hosts for the official servers soon. Hopefully, this should make the official servers more reliable, as well as provide myself some insight into why they were crashing to begin with. In the meantime, if an official server crashes again, the best place to notify me is the official Counterpact Discord server.
- Game servers may send garbage data, resulting in odd behavior or fatal errors on the players' ends. This is a fairly old issue that I thought I fixed before opening the game to the public; apparently it wasn't fixed. This is also a high priority, but this issue doesn't seem to occur as often.
- "Autobalance" (automatically moving players to team when one team has two or more players than the other team) was previously a low priority, but with the game becoming public, it has become a more pressing issue since many new players seem to not realize there is an imbalance in teams whenever one occurs. Unfortunately, autobalance will not be implemented in the next update, but it will be implemented in the update following that one. For now, please do remember there is a "team deficit" buff that powers up players on the smaller team, so even on a smaller team you will not be defenseless.

* Note this game is currently in alpha. Store page assets are subject to change, and the current build is not completely representative of how the game will be at the time of launch.
Counterpact is a 2D platform-shooter that pits two teams against each other, or a solo player against the tough (yet polished) 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 tankier 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 you do like them, but the current situation calls for something different? Perhaps you just want a new twist on their mechanics? Each character has a variety of alternate weapons to choose from, some of which heavily change their gameplay style to the point of putting those characters into different roles, all while keeping their core mechanics intact. New weapons get added over time as well, so you'll have something new to try.
Over 100 Cosmetics to Collect
By simply playing the game (no microtransactions are involved), you can earn Eclipsium. Eclipsium can be spent on the available Gashapon Machines, which will reward you with a random cosmetic from their stock. Cosmetic items include different outfits for characters, little pets that follow you, chairs you can sit on, emotes to communicate or taunt with, and more.
Enter the Gilded Spire
If you want (or need) 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, try conquering the Gilded Spire on the Blinding difficulty, and be greatly rewarded for your success.
