It’s time to step up in Solo Leveling:Arise, you’re on a hero’s journey now! Based on the mega-popular webtoon, the game is a faithful rendition of the original story, in which mysterious gates open to other dimensions where monsters lurk in the dark dungeons beyond.

What we love: Battles here feel like you’re fully in the thick of it. The game’s line-up of hunters includes protagonist Sung Jinwoo, formerly the weakest hunter who emerges as a fighter of superior strength, as well as the powerful Cha Hae-In and “The Ultimate Hunter”, Choi Jong-In.

Quick tip: The monsters you defeat can still be of use – remove their shadows and make them your new allies, the Shadow Soldiers.

Meet the creator: Korean developer Netmarble is known for introducing widely recognised series into the realm of games. Their hit titles include Tower of God: New World, The Seven Deadly Sins: IDLE and Marvel Future Fight.
