One of 2024’s worst gacha games relaunches without microtransactions, and it’s already looking so much better

Gacha mechanics in gaming can evoke mixed emotions, with titles like Zenless Zone Zero and Honkai Star Rail featuring impressive graphics but facing criticism for their microtransactions. Solo Leveling: Arise was anticipated by fans but was quickly dismissed due to its aggressive monetization strategy, which included frequent flash sales and multiple subscription models. A review described the game as "too grindy, frustrating, and repetitive," with poor drop rates. A new version, Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive, has been released on PC, removing gacha mechanics and allowing players to recruit Hunters and craft weapons without randomness. This iteration aims to reward effort and strategy, with players able to earn all Hunters through gameplay. The game currently holds a 75% rating on Steam, with some concerns about always-online requirements and anti-cheat issues. Netmarble is reportedly working on a solution for offline play. Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive is priced at .99 / £34.99 on Steam, with a free demo available. Over 10,000 players have already engaged with the game.
