Solo Levelling: ARISE OVERDRIVE Overdrive Gameplay

First things first, it’s worth clearing up a common misconception. Solo Levelling: ARISE OVERDRIVE, a third-person action RPG built around melee combat, should not be confused with Solo Levelling: Arise, the earlier free-to-play gacha-based mobile and PC title. Now that’s settled, we can get down to the essentials.

The game features two core modes. The first is a sprawling single-player campaign where players take control of Sung Jinwoo, a rising Hunter who must carve through a growing tide of powerful beasts. The story draws from the Solo Levelling webtoon while also introducing new chapters created specifically for the game. The second mode is a cooperative raid experience that lets up to four players join forces to tackle exceptionally strong monsters, each choosing from various characters and Hunters across the Solo Levelling universe.

At its core, Solo Levelling: ARISE OVERDRIVE is a third-person action RPG inspired by titles like Devil May Cry and Lost Soul Aside. Players can chain together attacks, skills, special moves and more, while a wide selection of weapons gives Solo Levellers the freedom to shape their combat style.

As you might expect, the game also emphasises evasion and parrying, echoing the mechanics found in many Soulslike titles of the past fifteen years. This includes an “Extreme Evasion” that triggers when players dodge at the last possible moment, and a familiar perfect parry, which allows for a last-second deflection followed by a devastating counterattack.

Beyond combos, evasions, parries, special attacks and an arsenal of weapons, players can tap into the titular Arise ability, summoning shadow soldiers to fight alongside them. You’ll need every tool available – skills, parries, summons and more – to bring down the game’s titanic, screen-filling bosses, which stand as centrepieces of Solo Levelling: ARISE OVERDRIVE’s core combat design.

Progression is equally robust. A deep skill tree can be tailored through eight distinct job advancements, while a weapon-crafting system lets players forge new gear using materials harvested from defeated monsters. Iconic weapons from the webtoon, including the Demon King’s Daggers and Kasaka’s Venom Fang, also make an appearance.

PC Specifications

With its sharp cel-shaded characters and environments, you might assume Solo Levelling: ARISE OVERDRIVE demands a high-end PC to run well. Fortunately, that isn’t the case.
