    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 a near-perfect homage to the original manhwa. Its sublime storytelling is its standout feature, which combined with its rich visuals, fluid gameplay, and addicting Genshin-esque features, make it a must-play for any Solo Leveling or gacha fan...Only time will tell if the late-game progression system issues will eventually harm its longevity and drive its promising playerbase away.

    While there is a lot to enjoy, it’s hard to argue that the story it’s adapting is doing a lot more of the heavy lifting, encouraging people to play more to see what’s next for Sung, rather than the repetitive gameplay.
