[Review]Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE Mastering Power and Style
Hello friends, dear gamers, if you are a fan of the Korean manhwa Solo Leveling and want to play as the cool Song Jin Woo in an action RPG, I present Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE for you to try. Whether you come alone or as a party, this game is perfect for either style. Let’s dive into the details.
What is Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE like?
- A plot that respects the original Solo Leveling
- Fast-paced and exciting combat system
- Collect levels and items through the Content World

- Upstatus your way

As mentioned, the game is an action RPG that allows you to play as Song Jin Woo. You can upgrade your character, choose your play style, enhance your equipment, and roam dungeons full of monsters. There are many maps across various areas for farming and exploration. Reaching certain levels unlocks story progress. Players will enjoy fast-paced, thrilling battles with skills, ultimate moves, weapon swaps, and occasional NPC assistance. While the story follows the manhwa closely, gameplay choices allow players to forge a unique path different from Song Jin Woo’s original story.
A plot that respects the original Solo Leveling
Many games based on anime struggle with new plot integration, often disappointing fans. Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE stays faithful to Song Jin Woo’s story from his lowest Hunter Rank to becoming the world’s strongest Hunter. It preserves details while adding some supplementary content that enriches understanding of the manhwa without disrupting the main storyline. Fans of the anime or manhwa will feel fully immersed.
Fast-paced and exciting combat system
The combat in ARISE OVERDRIVE simulates Song Jin Woo’s action from the manhwa with incredible speed, visuals, lighting, sounds, and skill effects. Players wield two weapons at a time and can quickly swap between them to perform continuous combo attacks. Restoration items, ultimate moves, blocking, perfect dodges, counters, and occasional QTEs make combat dynamic and thrilling. Action-focused players will be especially satisfied.
Collect levels and items through the Content World
Gameplay involves choosing maps in the Content World to level up. If your level isn’t high enough, story progression is blocked, so farming experience, crafting better weapons, producing combat support items, and earning money to hire strong hunters is key. Content World maps are divided by chapters. For example, after completing Chapter 3, three zones unlock, each with 6–8 dungeons. Players can loop through these zones to farm or gather materials and even create rooms to play with friends.
Collect levels and choose the class you want
As you progress and level up, ARISE OVERDRIVE lets you select Song Jin Woo’s class. Early options include Assassin, Frontline Warrior, Long-range Mage, or Control type, each with distinct weapons, skills, and playstyles. Difficulty levels vary per class, so choose according to your preferred gameplay style. Some may enjoy ranged tactics as mages, others fast-paced combat as assassins.
Upstatus your way
Players are free to customize Song Jin Woo’s stats however they want. Magic users can maximize intelligence, warriors can boost strength, or you can choose alternative weapons like katanas or spears and enhance them. The freedom to create your ideal version of Song Jin Woo adds depth and replayability.
Choose to hire a famous hunter to join the party
Parties include three additional characters who fight alongside you but are not player-controlled. Damage dealers assist in combat, healers support your HP, and strategic choices affect your success. Party members can be obtained by progressing through the story or using in-game currency/contracts. High-profile hunters may refuse invitations unless contracts are used, adding strategic depth to team-building.
And this is the review of Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE. Fans of Solo Leveling and Song Jin Woo will be thrilled. The game delivers fun, immersive gameplay, faithful story adaptation, and rewarding combat, whether playing solo or with friends. It’s highly recommended for fans to experience this game fully.
