Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE

Для тех кто любит этот сериал игра будет супер

Anyone expecting a true PC action RPG with the precision of Dark Souls or Monster Hunter will be brutally disappointed. Be warned: the game tricks you early on. The first few hours feel smooth, but the terrible grind and progression walls are deliberately designed to kick in long after you’ve passed Steam's 2-hour window. Although the game looks visually sharp, the gameplay foundation remains a tedious gacha grind. 1. Awful Hitboxes & Artificial Boss Immunity The hitboxes are pure pseudo-dynamics. Many bosses have completely rigid, static hitboxes during certain movements (like a swipe attack), making dynamic combat impossible. Worse still, enemies sometimes become completely invulnerable. If you use your painfully charged special attacks right then, they completely whiff, deal zero damage, and leave you staring at a frustrating cooldown. 2. The Loot System is an RNG Hell Item farming is completely demotivating. Stat values on gear vary so drastically and illogically that a higher item tier is not automatically better. It constantly happens that a newly farmed, higher-tier piece rolls worse core stats than your old piece from the same set. Progression feels like a pure waste of time on gambling. 3. Tedious Hunter Requirement in an Endless Grind The game is literally called Solo Leveling, yet you are constantly forced to manage three-man teams of Hunters who often act completely useless in battle. Since you have to farm gear for the main character AND all three Hunters in the group, the whole thing mutates into an endless, soulless grind without any transparent progression curve. 4. Artificial Content Padding via Unskippable Cutscenes What makes the grind ultimately unbearable is the blatant time-wasting via unskippable mini-cutscenes. Every single time you enter a level, a boss appears, or you successfully complete a level, you are forced to watch the exact same animations of the main character. There is no option to skip these sequences. This drags out the farming time completely unnecessarily. Verdict: The broken loot system, the poor hitboxes, and the artificial pacing destroy the actual core loop. A €40 price tag for this kind of quality is an absolute joke. Honestly, this game is barely worth €15 or €20 at best.
