Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE

Sung Jinwoo, from E-Rank to Shadow Monarch

The game retells the webtoon: Sung Jinwoo, an E-Rank hunter, becomes the strongest hunter of all. According to Netmarble, it mixes the original story with new chapters, fast combat (dodges, parries, combos), a skill tree leading to eight job advancements, weapon crafting and co-op raids for up to four players. It is a premium game, separate from the mobile game Solo Leveling: ARISE.

What critics liked

Combat wins everyone over. Checkpoint Gaming (5/10) calls it a “thrilling” system that rewards mastery with deep progression, DualShockers (7/10) finds that cutting through foes as Jinwoo “seldom gets old”, and But Why Tho? (7/10) describes a “perfectly enjoyable” action RPG that brings the world to life. Game8 (66/100) praises outstanding visuals and voice acting.

What critics criticised

The story disappoints: DualShockers finds it botched and alienating for newcomers, Game8 says the adaptation discards nearly everything that made the original compelling, and Vandal (6.5/10) finds it heavily cut down. Several reviews criticise repetitive content and leftovers from mobile design (Vandal mentions gacha DNA). Technical issues weighed heavily at the PC launch: Checkpoint Gaming describes stuttering, crashes and game-breaking bugs, and Shacknews (6/10) optimisation and audio problems. These reviews date from the PC release; the console version was not counted.

Prices

As of 13 November 2026, the game costs €39.99 on Steam, the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store, and the Deluxe Edition (costume, accessories and bonus items) €44.99 on Steam and the PlayStation Store. The PlayStation Store lists in-game purchases. The game has French subtitles, with English, Korean and Japanese voices according to Steam.

Who is it for?

Solo Leveling fans who mainly want spectacular combat. Those expecting a faithful adaptation of the story or a smooth PC version may be disappointed, according to critics.
