The theme song of the CounterSide was performed by a popular Japanese voice actress, Nana Mizuki. The main characters are voiced by popular voice actors such as Jun Fukuyama and Yoko Hikasa, and over 75 other gorgeous voice actors.

In 2044, an "Erosion phenomenon" from the "CounterSide" Underworld invades the real “Norm Side”. Players assume the role of president for a private military company and command characters called “counters” who have extraordinary abilities to fight against an “erosive body” threatening the world.
