1 month Post Launch Solo Leveling Arise Review. Firstly, Solo Leveling Arise is one of the most solid and compact mobile games I've seen this year.

👍 Pros: The 🎮 Gameplay: is very fluid and refreshing it also has unique and serious features. Fights against bosses are not generic or all the same it has a more AAA game feel with likeness to open world games and varying dialogues and mechanics which make it special.

📖 Storyline: it is very comprehensible and complete for new fans of the series. The story is rather comprehensive and a mix of webtoon and anime with some animations also included. Making new fans to become familiar and able to experience it.

🛍️ In-game Purchases: it isn't really a cash grab at all with new and old players reporting pulling SSR weapons in less than 5 to tens of tries and progression not really limited by one's spending. It is rather F2P friendly and a real game. It also has a pc release and confirmed ports to consoles/other platforms soon.

🐞 Performance: There isn't much room left in relation to performance as its very optimised for devices it supports and seems suitable for release on consoles/other platforms as confirmed with just about the same decency in optimization.

👎 Cons: ⏱️ Load Times: One of the main issues stems are the loading or rather the syncing times as it seems the game is synced to servers which might not have the easiest time syncing with the game being online only and since launch with over 5m+ daily players. This causes navigating through different menus and during gameplay to be occupied with loading screens for sometime.

💬 Dialogue & Writing: The dialogue and writing and presentation might be quite too similar to old fans who don't want to see just about the same storyline and there are just some captions rather than voiced dialogues in some parts which might not be really liked by everyone.

Rating: 93/100

💖 Overall Experience: It is really good for the first game of a webtoon turned anime hit franchise. It can't be placed on the same level of quality and playability with a lot of mobile games or anime rpgs and is really one of the best Korean games seen recently. Still the game has a similarity to more AAA games and has a wide range of features one experiences. It is about the best anime game I've seen and can recommend as someone who's not being really very familiar or active with the franchise for a long time.

The quality and nice experience it delivers seems to be evident with its great success of $100m+ revenue¹, a little over $100m shy of one of the top mobile earning games, Genshin Impact in its first month². With over 15m+ pre release registered users and over 20m+ 1 month post launch. Solo leveling arise seems ready to be one of the greatest and best performing IPs specifically of Korea and the non multiplayer games worldwide with its consistent updates and great growth.
