Definitely agree with the heavy monetization part. On the other hand though the game is pretty smooth and the summons currency’s is extremely easy to get for the normal banner. The frame drops you were experiencing could be too so many people overloading the servers beacuse I personally wasn’t experiencing anything like that.
I often watch subbed by myself and dubbed with my sister since she's dyslexic. Solo leveling dub is amazing, plenty of anime has amazing dub people just ignore. Worth changing the language for rewatches every time ❤
Bro P2W aside you can’t deny the fact that F2P exists and they are giving a lot of free gems for summoning and besides the gameplay and story is decent
this game represents literally what solo leveling is about almost. For some people they might not ike gatcha but me personally solo leveling was not a disappointment
I've been on the game for a month and I can tell you a lot of the issues people are experiencing in Global were far worse in early access. The game is f2p friendly af. The main banner units are even moved to the black ticket summons (Choi was the 1st banner btw). The SR weapons are useful, the SSR weapons are useful (some you get for free), the SR Hunters are useful, Attack/Precision Jinwoo clears, the game gives you freedom to build Jinwoo however you like. I've been f2p on this game for a month and have been enjoying my time especially since there isn't any Stamina (I'm lv54 btw). I'm not charting #1 Ranking on leaderboards but I at least can clear what I need to clear. My main issue would be needing a better gold dungeon.
yup, this video is just bitching for nothing, no one is forcing anyone to buy bundles or the battle pass, its an option for Netmarble to make money, ofc it aint gonna be free.
This comment literally feels like a mobile rant. First of all, it's pretty obvious the free rolls will thin out in the future. It's a bait tactic used by gacha games to get players to play since they believe they are gaming the system, only to end up paying money. I've been hooked before and it sucks a ton.
@yellowbanana5689 This is not a rant, this is literally me speaking from my experience of playing the game rather than playing with my wallet. 0 urge to drop money on this game. During early access, the grind was FAR worse than what Global get to do. Last night, I was able to +10 [FOUR] artifact sets. In EA, unless you're a whale, you weren't doing that crap. The honeymoon stage that Global is experiencing was gone a whole month ago for me. Again, I'm lv54 telling you that Global has it EASIER than I did.
i mean the game is f2p and all you gotta do is actually play it instead of sitting in the lobby cuz thats where the deals are may as well try the game before judging it
I'm F2P with EVERY gacha i play so the crazy money deals fly right over me. But it's kinda crazy to see but then again it's netmarble. This must be your first time playing a netmarble game?
Even for Netmarble this really isn't bad at all. Infact this game has far better deals for your money compared to their other games, even their previous least bad offender 7DS Grand Cross didn't have deals this good(although they made up for that by giving tons of free pulls on Grand Cross. I'm F2P in that game and I'm only missing like 15 SSR units in total out of over 220 SSR units in the game)

Because when you spend money it makes everything substantially easier, you wont be able to stand a chance against a fully maxed character, its impossible to match their dps
When Solo Leveling: Arise, you can still get the event tickets but its through playing specific chapter endings and events. It’s not that premium but it’s still heavily monetised
I'll be honest with you, I'm a f2p player and so far after playing for around like 5 hours or so I do enjoy the system combat but it can get quite repetitive but I do enjoy the fact that there are 2 different types of subtypes in the game such as: Player Hunters This goes for both stats, weapons and missions. Campaign basically goes through the manhwa and I enjoy the manhwa panel usage with the animation adapted into them as it makes the characters feel more alive but that's about all the good stuff about the combat/storyline aspect. P.S: On mobile, I've had no lag whatsoever and I'm running on a Samasung Galaxy A33 with mediocre Internet. Gacha: Okay, here me out. It ain't that bad, I have completed upto chapter 6 or 7 and I'm lvl 20 and so far I have managed to get 2 SSR characters including Chae-In along with a SSR weapon for Sung. As stated you do get base tickets from completing campaign and the sub campaign but you also get tickets from the events and the achievements tab, which usually include tasks which are about completing campaign or other In-game activities which are usally easy and are rewarded 10 tickets on completion. Don't get me wrong though, You do gotta do like 20-30+ things but it's mainly been campaign stuff so far. Okay, now for some pro gamer tips: *1. DON'T SPEND CRYSTALS ON F2P BANNER!* You gain these tickets really frequently and should only ever spend crystals on it if you are like 70+ draws in. *2. Complete as much of both the Normal and Sub campaign and get them to max stars* as you'll need to have as many tickets as you can as these SSR items are really worth it. 3. *Focus Weapons over Characters!* On your f2p banner focus on getting certain weapons of different elements as yes this games does have a weakness/strength system revolving around elements and if you want characters go for the limited banners as they offer garentied drops and you have a lower chance of getting a good weapon and characters required for certain mission will be given out for free as a *demo* basically meaning it's available till the end of that specific mission. P.S: Weapons are more important than Hunters as they play a more prominent role in combat as they change both the stats and the play style of the MC massively as yes the different weapons you get do indeed change your skill/basic atk and higher ranked weapons do offer better stats when upgraded. *4. Play in moderation* This game can get repetitive and boring quickly if you no-life it so take your time and enjoy what it offers slowly, I made the mistake of rushing through what I could and now I'm stuck waiting for the afk reward system will offer me tomorrow so I can continue through the story that's stuck behind a level requirement system Xd. *5. Use Combat settings* This is my final tip and it's directed to the mobile gamers. USE the semi/auto battle settings when playing as the movement/targeting can get very overwhelming and confusing when you are having to repetitively tap the lock on button because the enemy you locked onto died in like 2-3 hits Xd The Semi battle setting will make it so that your MC will move and basic attack on it's own so you can focus on the dodging and skill usage aspects and so you can also use your Hunters for their support abilities if you haven't already got that on auto like me. Auto battle setting makes it so that the character you are playing as does everything on its own but remember that it's an AI playing for you therefore it won't react to certain things like throwables or attacks that don't have warning markers with becomes a pain for missions that require you to take damage less than x amount of times as yes the AI will extreme dodge but that's only for attacks that have an orange warning type marker before the attack is launched. P.S: Hunters are units that can be added before battle in a party which can offer limited support with an ability in MC battles and are playable characters in hunter missions without support abilities as you are then able to swap between each of them. Anyway, to conclude this all, the game offers a great storyline type setting with the mix of manhwa and gameplay animation for the campaign but the combat system is very repetitive when in a mission, the battle setup system is rather immersive but very complicated later on in the game and the amount of begging is insane from the game, luckily there are no pay walls that I have come across yet so it's still rather f2p friendly even with the amount of monetisation. Just make sure to progress through the game at a steady pace and not rush through everything and be left with nothing.
Dude then i must have cracked luck , im done witb chapter 5 and i have hwang dongsoo, min byung gyu, woo jin chul(these 3 standard banner all under 30 pity each), cha hae in and demon plume sword (limited banner under 30 pity )
I'm more peeved by the gatcha system where you get piss low Coins from pulling to exchange it for more tickets, you telling me 50 pulls on the special banner and 40 pulls on normal banner and i only manage to get enough to exchange 1 extra pull??? At least genshin, starrail and TOF gives me enough for 5 full tickets at least, in 50-ish pull on a banner. Actually since its 90 pulls in total, I shouldve been able to exchange for 10 more pulls. Its ridiculous
that pc problem is just u bro I'm on max setting with a potato pc the only problem i have so far is the loading symbol pops up alot after i talk to someone or something
I've been playing the game quite a bit, haven't spent a dime on it. Was #1 Overall rank for the first tournament as of last night (not anymore as of current posting), and I don't plan on buying anything even if my progression seems slower, just doing it to see how massive a difference it really is.
7:41 "to play this game" wtf, you dont need to pay 42$ just to have a good experience, f2p can have a very good progression and the devs are constantly improving the game, the do care about us, not just about our money, they hear their community and they are doing their best.
your performance issues is interesting. My pc has a Ryzen 3700x and a RTX 3060 and runs perfectly at 120fps and on my Redmagic 9 pro it runs basically flawlessly
The base game is at a incredibly high quality. the paneling and storytelling are better than the anime and is worth treating as a FULL GAME and not just some skip through gacha game. I highly recommend solo leveling arise!
as someone who has no plan on playing this i gotta say you are not built for Gacha games mate. Like 18.99 for 54 special passes is a crazy good deal. I wish HSR was this generous.
I got like 4 copies of thomas in the rate up draw and ive only been playing this gave for 4 days hows this game not generous? Like i get the ads popping up on the face thing but thats it, doesnt mean you cant play the game if you dont this game is f2p too
I had been pondering for nearly an hour whether to buy the 5:40 monthly pass or not and came to this video. And you said here exactly what was going on in the back of my mind but i was not acknowledging it. The daily sweeps, the exp bonus rewards on completing 4 gates, the sweep bonus...these should have been in the base game as QOL improvements cuz every single goddamn gacha has the same issue. So thanks for that, i am not gonna buy it.
i been playing for a little over a month, i dont think its a bad game. the prices on this is ridiculous tho, few things can be changed/fixed but overall i think its a nice game
>Plays gacha game > *looks inside* > Sees monetization and gacha pulling system > *shocked reaction* That's basically what this video is. This is like making a Genshin Impact or Honkai Star Rail review and reviewing it as if it were a full priced Triple A title when in reality it should be reviewed as a F2P mobile gacha game.
@@a.l0043 Does Genshin let you pick the rate ups you want on standard banner? Does Genshin bring over former limited rate up characters over to the standard banner? Does Genshin have 80 pity with soft pity that starts at 64 pity and rapidly ramps up? Does Genshin have a 1.2% SSR drop rate? The answer to all of those things is NO! Solo Leveling Arise OBJECTIVELY has a better gacha system than Genshin
My biggest disappointment is the tutorial that lasts like 2 hours and the timers for battle. I wanna play at my own space but timers force me to keep comboing and doing damage.
Eh, I'm really enjoying this game! I understand it's another gacha, but that's the reality of gaming now. We just have to accept it. As far as gameplay goes, the gameplay is extremely polished. I love how smooth the animations are, from QTEs to combos to perfect dodges. The Ults and spells are super fun and pretty. I haven't spent a cent and have really enjoyed the story and production value. Im actually considering a deep dive on how enjoyable this game is for fans of the genre! (To add, my PC has zero hiccups, you mightve had some background downloading or patching.)
6:13 because it works. It gives them money, and for some reason, a lot. A game like this wouldn't have a battle pass if battle passes weren't so profitable. Is a shame the state of this game. While after a few hours it wasn't that badly optimized for me (at least after reducing the graphics), the huge amount of loading screens and micro-transactions right infront of my face is really driving me off this game. The gameplay is so good, but i ended up spending more time on blring menus than actuammy playing the game. I priginally wanted to use this game as a practice for Wuthering Waves, but i guess i should try PGR instead
Odd I didn't change any settings on my pc and I have a 2060, (ancient I know), and my game ran smoothly. No stutters nun. Even while the patch was running.
cant expect anything less from Netmable....u can have ocean depth level of wallet, they will suck u dry if u dare let em. soon enough they will add stats bonus for costumes for each characters and weapons to buy to deal with hardest content possible. their classic moves.
So far the game is pretty good my first 10 wishes I got the character in the blind and it looks ok 💫 it does the power constantly away from loading for five seconds
Rare L take from you in my opinion. Yes they hide a lot of Bonuses behind a paywall but I played this game for 12 hours straight without spending anything and they are throwing summons at you. The only thing that has been annoying were the level requirements for some levels. I feel like you only logged in and checked out the pack prices

This is a really terrible perspective from a guy who knows nothing about the tech industry. Do you expect them to offer them all for free? How about their years of work creating this game? They invest a lot of money in producing this game, and those subscriptions are just for those who can afford them; it's only a small token of appreciation to the developers who put in the time and effort to create this game; this is how they generate money. you lucky enough to get it free, you can still play it without buying a thing, and of course it's a first release of the game expect some issues on it, it ain't perfect from the start, thats why it needs your own opinion to improve the game not to criticize it.

Most gachas based on an anime scream "cash grab". This one doesn't just scream it, they're using a high power megaphone. Also can people use their brains for once and realize that the game is only "generous" NOW because it came out? That'll dry up very quickly, like it literally always does.
You won't be forced to keep it downloaded if and when it stops being generous you know, if you feel like its not as F2P friendly a month or two out and you decide to delete the game you won't die, there are plenty of games that are fine even after the 'honeymoon phase', the only concerning thing is that its Netmarble which has some past questionable decisions being made about their games, even then I feel like every game should be given a fair chance otherwise you aren't giving any company a chance to redeem themselves its like punishing someone for something they did 10 years ago. I don't ask you to forgive them, I ask you to hear them out.
you dont need to buy anything, its a free game obv they want to make money with in game items. You still do get a ton of summons and good stuff f2p + you can reach everything even if it takesa bit longer maybe.

@@LeonHere69 I don't see anything wrong with their focus on profit; once you work in the tech industry, you'll understand that those subscriptions aren't for broke if you can't afford them. It took years and professional developers to make this game, and they spent millions on it, mostly on the developers' salaries. If they don't make money, the developers won't work because they won't be paid, and the game will go down because there won't be any maintenance.

You really should have talked about the unnecessarily restrictive introductory tutorial which locks you out of every function even past getting the job change. That, in addition to the long load times between every single page.
Oh no theres options to get characters and progress faster... just play the damn game lmao no one is forcing u to buy tickets or anything, its stuff you can grind for.
i wanted the whole levelling up thing to feel much more immersive. it honestly feels like a side feature just to make the game seem connected to the actual story.
God awful drop rates? Brother has NOT played genshin. This gacha system is the same as Genshin and has obviously taken pointers from genshin, but actually getting the pulls is twice as easy. I pulled like 120 on standard and rate up together in 2 days since starting. It is pretty F2P friendly and the frame rates have improved on mobile.

Player
Hunters
This goes for both stats, weapons and missions. Campaign basically goes through the manhwa and I enjoy the manhwa panel usage with the animation adapted into them as it makes the characters feel more alive but that's about all the good stuff about the combat/storyline aspect.

Okay, here me out. It ain't that bad, I have completed upto chapter 6 or 7 and I'm lvl 20 and so far I have managed to get 2 SSR characters including Chae-In along with a SSR weapon for Sung.
As stated you do get base tickets from completing campaign and the sub campaign but you also get tickets from the events and the achievements tab, which usually include tasks which are about completing campaign or other In-game activities which are usally easy and are rewarded 10 tickets on completion.
Don't get me wrong though, You do gotta do like 20-30+ things but it's mainly been campaign stuff so far.
Okay, now for some pro gamer tips:
*1. DON'T SPEND CRYSTALS ON F2P BANNER!*
You gain these tickets really frequently and should only ever spend crystals on it if you are like 70+ draws in.
*2. Complete as much of both the Normal and Sub campaign and get them to max stars*
as you'll need to have as many tickets as you can as these SSR items are really worth it.
3. *Focus Weapons over Characters!*
On your f2p banner focus on getting certain weapons of different elements as yes this games does have a weakness/strength system revolving around elements and if you want characters go for the limited banners as they offer garentied drops and you have a lower chance of getting a good weapon and characters required for certain mission will be given out for free as a *demo* basically meaning it's available till the end of that specific mission.
P.S: Weapons are more important than Hunters as they play a more prominent role in combat as they change both the stats and the play style of the MC massively as yes the different weapons you get do indeed change your skill/basic atk and higher ranked weapons do offer better stats when upgraded.
*4. Play in moderation*
This game can get repetitive and boring quickly if you no-life it so take your time and enjoy what it offers slowly, I made the mistake of rushing through what I could and now I'm stuck waiting for the afk reward system will offer me tomorrow so I can continue through the story that's stuck behind a level requirement system Xd.
*5. Use Combat settings*
This is my final tip and it's directed to the mobile gamers. USE the semi/auto battle settings when playing as the movement/targeting can get very overwhelming and confusing when you are having to repetitively tap the lock on button because the enemy you locked onto died in like 2-3 hits Xd
The Semi battle setting will make it so that your MC will move and basic attack on it's own so you can focus on the dodging and skill usage aspects and so you can also use your Hunters for their support abilities if you haven't already got that on auto like me. Auto battle setting makes it so that the character you are playing as does everything on its own but remember that it's an AI playing for you therefore it won't react to certain things like throwables or attacks that don't have warning markers with becomes a pain for missions that require you to take damage less than x amount of times as yes the AI will extreme dodge but that's only for attacks that have an orange warning type marker before the attack is launched.
P.S: Hunters are units that can be added before battle in a party which can offer limited support with an ability in MC battles and are playable characters in hunter missions without support abilities as you are then able to swap between each of them.
Anyway, to conclude this all, the game offers a great storyline type setting with the mix of manhwa and gameplay animation for the campaign but the combat system is very repetitive when in a mission, the battle setup system is rather immersive but very complicated later on in the game and the amount of begging is insane from the game, luckily there are no pay walls that I have come across yet so it's still rather f2p friendly even with the amount of monetisation.
Just make sure to progress through the game at a steady pace and not rush through everything and be left with nothing.
Yeah I didn't experience any lag on pc either and I didn't mess with my settings. My specs are worse than his.
Dude then i must have cracked luck , im done witb chapter 5 and i have hwang dongsoo, min byung gyu, woo jin chul(these 3 standard banner all under 30 pity each), cha hae in and demon plume sword (limited banner under 30 pity )
@olympian1397 Bro, just go hit the lottery at this point lmao
I'm more peeved by the gatcha system where you get piss low Coins from pulling to exchange it for more tickets, you telling me 50 pulls on the special banner and 40 pulls on normal banner and i only manage to get enough to exchange 1 extra pull??? At least genshin, starrail and TOF gives me enough for 5 full tickets at least, in 50-ish pull on a banner. Actually since its 90 pulls in total, I shouldve been able to exchange for 10 more pulls. Its ridiculous
@@olympian1397 actually cracked luck
Sorry to say
But this game is not disappointing for me .
It's just your own opinion don't convince us to stop playing
that pc problem is just u bro I'm on max setting with a potato pc the only problem i have so far is the loading symbol pops up alot after i talk to someone or something
I love how the game almost didn't even hiccup once for me.
Played for 3 hours, had a lot of issues, decided to uninstall afterwards lol
I've been playing the game quite a bit, haven't spent a dime on it. Was #1 Overall rank for the first tournament as of last night (not anymore as of current posting), and I don't plan on buying anything even if my progression seems slower, just doing it to see how massive a difference it really is.
I literally got the ad of the game as soon as i clicked this video
7:41 "to play this game" wtf, you dont need to pay 42$ just to have a good experience, f2p can have a very good progression and the devs are constantly improving the game, the do care about us, not just about our money, they hear their community and they are doing their best.
The game sucks ass, the dungeons are shit everything else is decent
your performance issues is interesting. My pc has a Ryzen 3700x and a RTX 3060 and runs perfectly at 120fps
and on my Redmagic 9 pro it runs basically flawlessly
But what would you rate the game on a scale of 1-10
I have a RTX 2060 and it ran perfectly at 60fps
@@kingpin7011 i'd give it a solid 6. it's decently fun, i just wish there was more to do than just fight, story mission, wait for gate keys and repeat
he prob put it on max settings with 4k and he prob lowered his shadows by a bir
Another problem is they didn't even gave the past quest reward if you played it months ago
The base game is at a incredibly high quality. the paneling and storytelling are better than the anime and is worth treating as a FULL GAME and not just some skip through gacha game. I highly recommend solo leveling arise!
As a new player that’s just tried it out the monetization isn’t better lol butt gameplay fun like you said
idk why u got the lag problem cause my spec is much lower and it runs smooth fine on quite high graphic setting
like not even a little bit, other than some loading stuff being a bit slow but no lag or staggering that's for sure
@@none_371he just want a content, negative opinion attracts a lot more views
you can see his jitters to it cuz hes playing on 4k witch can murder you frames
as someone who has no plan on playing this i gotta say you are not built for Gacha games mate. Like 18.99 for 54 special passes is a crazy good deal. I wish HSR was this generous.
When Solo leveling in grand summoners...
I got like 4 copies of thomas in the rate up draw and ive only been playing this gave for 4 days hows this game not generous? Like i get the ads popping up on the face thing but thats it, doesnt mean you cant play the game if you dont this game is f2p too
You do have a option to not pay and just be free to play like I am free to play and got a SSR on first try
If you get really lucky that is
I had been pondering for nearly an hour whether to buy the 5:40 monthly pass or not and came to this video. And you said here exactly what was going on in the back of my mind but i was not acknowledging it. The daily sweeps, the exp bonus rewards on completing 4 gates, the sweep bonus...these should have been in the base game as QOL improvements cuz every single goddamn gacha has the same issue.
So thanks for that, i am not gonna buy it.
i been playing for a little over a month, i dont think its a bad game. the prices on this is ridiculous tho, few things can be changed/fixed but overall i think its a nice game
I honestly thought you're talking about the VA of "arise" when I first saw the title
>Plays gacha game
> *looks inside*
> Sees monetization and gacha pulling system
> *shocked reaction*
That's basically what this video is. This is like making a Genshin Impact or Honkai Star Rail review and reviewing it as if it were a full priced Triple A title when in reality it should be reviewed as a F2P mobile gacha game.
thanks for saving me a few minutes that i could have wasted watching this man yapping ❤
Nah the gacha here make genshin system look like a charity
@@a.l0043 Does Genshin let you pick the rate ups you want on standard banner? Does Genshin bring over former limited rate up characters over to the standard banner? Does Genshin have 80 pity with soft pity that starts at 64 pity and rapidly ramps up? Does Genshin have a 1.2% SSR drop rate?
The answer to all of those things is NO! Solo Leveling Arise OBJECTIVELY has a better gacha system than Genshin
@@TheBoltMaster456just play wuthering waves if you want.
@@whiteangel3824 I can and WILL play both. I'm not limited to only one gacha game at a time 💀
My biggest disappointment is the tutorial that lasts like 2 hours and the timers for battle. I wanna play at my own space but timers force me to keep comboing and doing damage.
Eh, I'm really enjoying this game! I understand it's another gacha, but that's the reality of gaming now. We just have to accept it. As far as gameplay goes, the gameplay is extremely polished. I love how smooth the animations are, from QTEs to combos to perfect dodges. The Ults and spells are super fun and pretty. I haven't spent a cent and have really enjoyed the story and production value.
Im actually considering a deep dive on how enjoyable this game is for fans of the genre!
(To add, my PC has zero hiccups, you mightve had some background downloading or patching.)
6:13 because it works. It gives them money, and for some reason, a lot. A game like this wouldn't have a battle pass if battle passes weren't so profitable.
Is a shame the state of this game. While after a few hours it wasn't that badly optimized for me (at least after reducing the graphics), the huge amount of loading screens and micro-transactions right infront of my face is really driving me off this game. The gameplay is so good, but i ended up spending more time on blring menus than actuammy playing the game.
I priginally wanted to use this game as a practice for Wuthering Waves, but i guess i should try PGR instead
im here to say playing free to play is not that hard
Free games, no pressure to buy, and still get entertainment
Spending money isn't a requirement...
As a PC Player i have to say that I like this game a lot. If I were playing on mobile I would be disappointed.
I'm glad that I've got a PC
Odd I didn't change any settings on my pc and I have a 2060, (ancient I know), and my game ran smoothly. No stutters nun. Even while the patch was running.
he put his shit on 4k and lied abt changing it
this game is smth man.. I cant even try the game anything I do something pops up, Its either some monetization pack or the loading circle
Same issue it's annoying
@@Lucid3301 I just gave up after wuthering waves came out
Bro, and I was so looking forward to this game, loading sucks, and worst of all, I'm on mobile and its so laggy
What type of phone do u have? I got a pretty cheap phone (~$120) and it runs perfectly fine. You might wanna tweak ur settings a bit.
if its laggy then its your phone's fault tbh. not game
This game got judged too early, like a new born baby expecting to walk.
The game isn’t bad but it needs one improvement but it’s my favorite game now
me too, btw is that true that you can't get that guranteed draw?, i think we just have to wait unit 2 days for that and then we can claim it?
@@SanjayVerma-sr2lz I just started the game so sorry I don’t know but so far I like it already
@@SanjayVerma-sr2lz what guranteed draw do you mean?
@@LaszloRepay special draw in which we got that 15 chances stuff, that is paid I checked
how can people still want to play this after tryin wuwa
As an mega ultimate f2p 24/7 grinder, that won't be such a problem
I appreciate the low percent rate shows that either I’m lucky or all my grinding has made it worth it
cant expect anything less from Netmable....u can have ocean depth level of wallet, they will suck u dry if u dare let em. soon enough they will add stats bonus for costumes for each characters and weapons to buy to deal with hardest content possible. their classic moves.
So far the game is pretty good my first 10 wishes I got the character in the blind and it looks ok 💫 it does the power constantly away from loading for five seconds
YEARS AGO i saw an ad for solo leveling (where the girl gets stepped on)
Rare L take from you in my opinion. Yes they hide a lot of Bonuses behind a paywall but I played this game for 12 hours straight without spending anything and they are throwing summons at you. The only thing that has been annoying were the level requirements for some levels.
I feel like you only logged in and checked out the pack prices
it's just honeymoon to get you addicted all slot machine games do it
@@ゆきの-s5j yes agreed. but all gacha games do that. If you dont like it, the genre isnt for you. It just makes no sense to rant about a gacha game being a gacha game.
The game itself is good
@@igouliliaszerone8967 He's ranting why it sucks BECAUSE it's over monetized. And plus, you might as well play Genshin or Honkai.
@@yellowbanana5689 who tells you to spend money on the game? its very f2p friendly and a lot more than genshin or something. its a free game you can enjoy without spending any money and still get a lot of good stuff just by playing
Y'know this is exactly what that opm game is about and quite literally the same mechanics but different graphics
This is a really terrible perspective from a guy who knows nothing about the tech industry. Do you expect them to offer them all for free? How about their years of work creating this game? They invest a lot of money in producing this game, and those subscriptions are just for those who can afford them; it's only a small token of appreciation to the developers who put in the time and effort to create this game; this is how they generate money. you lucky enough to get it free, you can still play it without buying a thing, and of course it's a first release of the game expect some issues on it, it ain't perfect from the start, thats why it needs your own opinion to improve the game not to criticize it.
yo look at the comments he ignores the people giving facts and looks at the people talking shit
@@marcellotallarico2540 what's your point?? there's nothing to say about facts because they are facts, basically you're not getting anything i said.
The controls are insanely wonky, and it somehow crashed my phone's OS?
Lmao plays grand summoners but complains about Solo Leveling someone needs to check themselves
Even grand summoner gacha isn't rigged as this games.Gameplay is good but other aspects nah.and it will eventually get repititive and no sweep besides rank B dungeon.
@@suryakantakaity6761 Rigged?
ya literally dont even have to buy something in arise lmao

its not like ya have to buy to get them. if ya keep grinding ya can get them easily.

As im using the tickets that given as reward yk that yellow ones, not the white one that ya have to buy.
i mean, netmarble made this game remember. The one who also made Marvel future revolution. Ya dont have to keep buy everytime to get good things
@@suryakantakaity6761 wtf are you talking about? xd
Most gachas based on an anime scream "cash grab".
This one doesn't just scream it, they're using a high power megaphone. Also can people use their brains for once and realize that the game is only "generous" NOW because it came out? That'll dry up very quickly, like it literally always does.
You won't be forced to keep it downloaded if and when it stops being generous you know, if you feel like its not as F2P friendly a month or two out and you decide to delete the game you won't die, there are plenty of games that are fine even after the 'honeymoon phase', the only concerning thing is that its Netmarble which has some past questionable decisions being made about their games, even then I feel like every game should be given a fair chance otherwise you aren't giving any company a chance to redeem themselves its like punishing someone for something they did 10 years ago.
I don't ask you to forgive them, I ask you to hear them out.
If you dont like it then dont play it, I'm going to trust the devs, they have shown that they really care about their community and their game
Ya hate to see it. Game looks like it’s good for a disciplined FTPlayer or big spenders.
you dont need to buy anything, its a free game obv they want to make money with in game items. You still do get a ton of summons and good stuff f2p + you can reach everything even if it takesa bit longer maybe.
ignore him he knows nothing abt the game its really good free and even if your on the lowest setting the game looks like its in 4k you can easily ignore prices by not looking at them
one piece bounty rush got the same problem, but if your ss rank and complete events, you can max out your character very easily
Bruh I can't even start the tutorial on my mobile.. it says "move the left analog to move" and doesn't let me do anything lol, also.. at the start of the main menu it even shows me a fkin pc cursor even though am on mobile, what a joke🗿

@@chihanmitungshang1916 Basic bugs like these from the launch? Ugh
It's not bug these included for PC, console and Mobile combination i think,
@@ym7402 so before the tutorial appears click fast at the top right option settings and change it to touchscreen
@@chihanmitungshang1916 No am pretty sure it's a bug.. which developer would default their game's controls to gamepads when the game itself is on mobile?
It's supposed to be set to touchscreen by default.. and with some players it is not. This is a bug.
I play on iPhone 8 Plus and my animation pauses sometimes should I update or is it the game?
I feel like everyone here in this comment section never played a gacha before. This is how it works and its perfect get over it!!
Bro got Vergil whole move set
For a launch the free stuff you get was really disappointing
I uninstalled it when my phone taked to long to load the game
Clickbait and bad opinion
You have no idea the menu of Hellz and my god the drop chances. They are fully focus on money 😢
@@LeonHere69I have 1 ssr weapons and 6 ssr hunters by just playing. Only rerollers are crying. Also im f2p.

Keep meat riding this trash game
@@LeonHere69 I don't see anything wrong with their focus on profit; once you work in the tech industry, you'll understand that those subscriptions aren't for broke if you can't afford them. It took years and professional developers to make this game, and they spent millions on it, mostly on the developers' salaries. If they don't make money, the developers won't work because they won't be paid, and the game will go down because there won't be any maintenance.
I re-roll 20 times and got a super lucky account with 5 SSR characters and 5 SSR weapons
The fact i got an ad exactly for solo leveling arise before the video is wild
it’s like even breathing in this game is something that you have to pay for.
its like as if you wouldnt need to pay at all if you dont want to. crazy right?
I play the game for the game, I've been f2p for years and now I play for the gameplay and the story the grind doesn't affect me
The paywalls are insane in this game
Jeeeesus. Thank you for the review. I once saw a trailer where jin woo was using a katana and thought to myself "hey that's pretty cool, we can customise our jin woo." Only to watch this
He said some bullshit, the fps drop exists, but depending on your device it may be like a 3~5 drop or noone at all
@@Azarklig if you're asking me. The FPS issue isn't really any of my concern. I've finished sekiro with 30 FPS on my potato laptop. What I'm curious about was how heavy the "monetisation" was. The game's company has always had the history with predatory practices on their games and that is my main issue
@@redditrabbit6559you can gather a bunch of materials as f2p. You do not need to buy anything. I've been playing since the start of early access and I have 2/3 of the limited units and almost all of the standard units.
Only issue for me are loading times but if your mad about the monetization just ignore it and play the game your fault if you can’t stop yourself from spending
In my view, the S class heroes are the ones that pay to win, and the E class heroes are the ones that play to win.
6:12 The premium and deluxe hunter passes are separate passes.
any game with some newly released anime title is bound to fail in a couple months
Ironically other hunters can level up too
The game's name is solo leveling :)
What annoys me the most is if games arent able to be played on emulators... like not everyone has a nasa phone...
You really should have talked about the unnecessarily restrictive introductory tutorial which locks you out of every function even past getting the job change. That, in addition to the long load times between every single page.
Just waiting for wuthering waves if solo leveling arise is like this
The fact that i got an ad from solo leveling : arise..
I got a solo leveling arise ad at the start of the video.
Me too
I played it and was just annoyed by the sheer amount of microtransactions. It's literal insanity
Oh no theres options to get characters and progress faster... just play the damn game lmao no one is forcing u to buy tickets or anything, its stuff you can grind for.
i wanted the whole levelling up thing to feel much more immersive. it honestly feels like a side feature just to make the game seem connected to the actual story.
Bro really was expecting a 5star game out of a game that was made for mobile
God awful drop rates? Brother has NOT played genshin. This gacha system is the same as Genshin and has obviously taken pointers from genshin, but actually getting the pulls is twice as easy. I pulled like 120 on standard and rate up together in 2 days since starting. It is pretty F2P friendly and the frame rates have improved on mobile.
Tbh it took me yhree years to get the intro done bc the floor had no Collison plus i enciunter PLENTY OF BUGS while playing thr game
it took 6gb to download that absolutely destroys my 32gb max tablet
