I actually played it for like 4 or 5 days as reaching level 30 as a guest to experience most of the game but I needed to replay it with linking account so I'm currently in level 15 so let me tell you what I feel so far
๐ Storyline: this game simply goes after the original story based on solo leveling manhwa or the anime but giving you wide area of side stories focusing on side characters and scenes never been seen in anime or even manhwa
๐ฎ Gameplay: unfortunately the game isn't what I hoped for which is not open world as it was shock for me as it deserved open world game but it's more like honkai impact 3rd game style but actually it has impressive mode like story, side characters backstory, clearing gates, encore that give you rare items and more I didn't discover yet
๐คผ Combat Mechanics: as I mentioned if you enjoyed honkai impact 3rd you'll certainly enjoy solo leveling arise as the combos, skills, ultimates, dodging skills and partner skills on a really high level
๐จ Graphics: sometimes good sometimes bad it's hard to tell why but sometimes you'll feel it's really amazing but sometimes you gonna be like "What the heck is that?"
๐๏ธ Cinematics: For me this is what got me shocked from how amazing it was it's not animated nor manhwa it's just manhwa moving panels it's an interesting thing between animation and manhwa
๐ Performance: now here is the problem when you're out of the level you playing it's freezing whenever you doing anything but once you start playing it's totally normal but I guess it's just because the game only released in canada and some other countries only
๐ฅ Multiplayer: in this game there's nothing close to multiplayer in the game and you can't even battle against others or can't even add friends but I guess that's normal and in the updates I'm sure they'll add it but in exchange in the game you can play as sung jinwoo with 3 partners who supports you
๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ Character Customization: In character the only thing you can customize is the outfit of sung jinwoo nothing more
๐ Skill Trees & Abilities: Still only Sung jinwoo has a skills growing and maturing but I guess that's normal as sung is the hero of the story as sung leveling up on his own and you can level up other characters to his level when he only level up
๐ฐ Value for Money: As for this I never put one dollar in a game in my life but solo leveling didn't give me a chance to think of buying anything as it went smoothly in rewards and will be better with every update I'm sure
For last don't rush in playing the game because when you reach chapter 5 and level 15 you'll have to wait for next day to log in and get rewards and renew modes like gates and encore so you can get rewards that improves your characters and items to grow stronger
