Solo Leveling: Arise starts you at rock bottom. You're not strong. You're not special. You're just Sung Jinwoo - the weakest hunter trying to survive. Every fight feels dangerous because at first, you are weak. But that's what makes getting stronger so satisfying.
It is an official action RPG based on the hit Solo Leveling manhwa (webtoon). Step into the life of Sung Jinwoo, a journey from the weakest E-rank hunter to Shadow Monarch in an immersive gaming experience.

The System Changes Everything
When you fail (and you will), something amazing happens. The System appears - the same mysterious power from the webtoon. It gives you a choice: give up or get stronger. This is where your real journey begins.
Fights Feel Real
Combat isn't just button-mashing. Enemies attack smart:
- They dodge your moves
- They gang up on you
- They learn your patterns
You need to time your dodges perfectly and choose the right skills. When you finally beat a boss that crushed you before? That feeling is unbeatable.
Build Your Shadow Army
Later in the game, you get Jinwoo's coolest power - the ability to turn defeated enemies into your army. You can:
- Create teams of shadows
- Mix different monster types
- Command them in battle
Watching your army swarm enemies never gets old.
More Than Just the Story

- New stories not in the original
- Extra dungeons to explore
- Special events with unique rewards
