Solo Leveling: Arise is an action RPG based on the South Korean web novel of the same name.
About the story
About a decade ago, "gates" began to open and connect this world to different dimensions. "Awakened Beings" started to appear among ordinary citizens. These "Awakened Beings" are the only ones strong enough to fight the monsters in the dungeons beyond each gate. They are called "hunters." However, not all hunters are created equally. One E-Rank hunter they call "The Weakest Hunter of All Mankind" struggles to stay alive, even in the lowest-level dungeons. His name is Sung Jinwoo. With almost nothing to his name, he braves the dungeons to support his family and barely makes enough to get by. At least until he finds himself in a deadly "Double Dungeon," hidden inside a lowly D-Rank gate. Believing it's the end, he accepts the inevitable... ...But awakens to discover new and strange abilities. A quest window, like one from a video game- only visible to him! And with it, a secret means of "Leveling Up!" He now seeks to "level up" by hunting monsters and completing these quests... ...that can only be done solo!

Critic Reviews
By Gabriele Laurino
Solo Leveling: ARISE is a nice diamond in the rough, an action RPG with live-service elements with interesting potential.

Solo Leveling: Arise is a convincing, easy-to-play action game with a slick combat system and great presentation. However, the sometimes miserably long grind, the gacha mechanics and other weaknesses prevent Jin-Woo from reaching the highest level in this version of his gripping adventure.

Overall, Solo Leveling: ARISE is still an excellent game, one worthy of a look even for those who don't usually find gacha games appealing. Sung Jinwoo being an effective character and a depth of strategy will even allow free-to-play users to thrive, though they'll likely be looking at battle pass subscribers with envy given how wide the chasm is between the two demographics. Strong gameplay, an adoration for the source material, and a number of tactical decisions that make strategy paramount characterize one of the better "free" mobile game releases in quite some time.

Solo Leveling Arise is authentic to its anime and webtoon inspirations, but it's too grindy, frustrating, and repetitive to come close to rivaling the best gacha games.

It might not always blow you away with originality, but Solo Leveling: ARISE is still a pretty enjoyable and involving adventure on PC.
