She's a lifelong gamer, a relentless industry sleuth, and a passionate follower of everything happening in the games industry.

The rise of Solo Leveling follows its story pretty closely: What started as a web novel by Chugong in 2016 went on to level up to comic, webtoon, novel, and finally, anime. The story tells the tale of Sung Jin-woo, a low-ranked character in a world of "hunters," where everyone gets a rank that doesn't change.

Spoilers for Solo Leveling follow.

One day, Jin-woo is selected by a mysterious program to gain the ability to level up, something that he's the only person in the world to be able to do. This starts Jin-woo's rise to power, as his skills continue to level up until he gains the ability to control the dead as his army.

If you've been watching the anime or loving the Webtoon, you may find yourself wanting to play a game that has the same feel and themes as Solo Leveling. You might be looking for a power fantasy, a good story, or some over-the-top fighting action. Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it in these games, which are perfect for fans of Solo Leveling.

Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE

Let's get the obvious out of the way: If you want a game like Solo Leveling, then you might want to play the Solo Leveling game. Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE is the PC port of a mobile game, which gives you all the action and fun of the original title without any of the monetization.

The game lets you play as Jin-woo as he strives to become the world's strongest hunter. It follows both the Webtoon storyline and a story unique to the game. It also lets you play through dynamic, exciting combat sequences, different jobs and skills, and more.

This is the game to play if you want to experience what it's like to be in the Solo Leveling universe. You can also wait for Solo Leveling: KARMA to arrive for even more in-universe fun. KARMA is a roguelite mobile game that's slated to release sometime in late 2026.

Warframe

Part of what makes Solo Leveling so fun and exciting is the character's ability to fight and advance to extremely powerful levels. You can get the same kind of rush from the free sci-fi title, Warframe.

In this fun and grindy third-person fighter, you control a Warframe—a biomech suit with out-of-this-world combat abilities. The Warframe community thrives on customization, so you can even find examples of Warframes decked out to look like Solo Leveling characters, like in this thread from ATinyBoop on Reddit.

Baldur's Gate 3

Baldur's Gate 3 is romp through Dungeons & Dragons with unprecedented freedom to do practically anything you can think of. This freedom is what makes it a beloved game in the TTRPG community.

It's also what makes the title perfect for fans of Solo Leveling. Since you can customize your character to do and act in any way that you want, you can basically become Sung Jin-woo. Level up and stay in character—or just download a Shadow Monarch mod like this one from iNoah on Nexus Mods.

Devil May Cry

Solo Leveling is full of action-packed, cinematic battles of epic proportions. If that's what you want in a game, you'll find it in the Devil May Cry series. Though there's no leveling in DMC, there's plenty of action as the main character (usually) Dante hacks and slashes his way through epic locations.

The fourth game is especially epic when it comes to battles on a grand scale. It also mirrors the idea from Solo Leveling of the main character becoming a powerful fighter and essentially turning on his own kind fo protect humanity.

Tales Of Arise

As he levels up, Sung Jin-woo largely focuses on using lightning-fast reflexes and abnormally high agility to win his battles. For battles where you can test your own speed and reflexes, dive into the action-RPG, Tales of Arise.

Tales of Arise is part of the Tales franchise, and it focuses largely on evading and countering. Combine that with a compelling story about saving a young woman and her land, and you get a game well worth the time of any Solo Leveling fan.

Path Of Exile And Path Of Exile 2

Path of Exile and its sequel, Path of Exile 2 are two more fantastic options if you're searching for something that'll make you feel really powerful. Both games take place in a dark fantasy world where you're given immense freedom to customize your character's build and skills.

As you level up, you—like Jin-woo—become an unstoppable force capable of easily plowing through enemies. Plus, the first game is completely free, so you can jump right into it the action.

Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment

You can get both the feel of playing through an anime and an MMO while being neither with Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment. The game is based on the extremely popular anime, which follows main character Kirito as he becomes trapped in a virtual reality MMO with deadly consequences.

There are several games in the SAO franchise, but this one in particular tasks you with becoming stronger and rising to the top, boosted by your companions. If you like this one, you can also check out Hollow Realization, or play with your friends on the actual online experience of Fractured Daydream.

Mabinogi

Why go for an RPG that feels a multiplayer game when you can just play the real deal? Mabinogi is one of many MMOs out there, where you can join your friends (or make new ones) and fight, level up, explore, complete quests, and so much more.

Mabinogi is a great option for Solo Leveling fans since its leveling system is a lot less restrictive than most MMOs. Unlike other online multiplayer games, you aren't locked into any particular class, and can instead build a character with skills and stats however you want. Of course, you can also customize your character with outfits and styles, so you can build your own version of Sung Jin-woo if you want to feel the power.

Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is an open-world action adventure game that takes places in the universe of The Lord of the Rings. You may not think this title has much in common with Solo Leveling, until you look a little closer.

You'll find that here, you can build a character that's strong enough to mow down enemies and fuel the power fantasy of the anime and comic. More than that, though, the game lets you become a Necromancer and summon an army of the undead—basically like Sung Jin-woo, complete with the glowing blue eyes.

.hack//G.U. Last Recode

Before Sword Art Online made a modern single-player game that feels like an MMO, the .hack series was already doing it. The 2017 remastered collection of four games, .hack//G.U. Last Recode, is a great option that has that "isekai in a game world" feel of Solo Leveling.

The .hack games have a nostalgic feel and, just like in Solo Leveling, focus on a main character gaining power to take down forces that threaten to take over the world. Its combat may not be as flashy, but it's a series that more or less started the genre that Solo Leveling now occupies—making it a must for fans of the anime and toon.
