Fans of Solo Leveling's RPG progression system should feel right at home with Overgeared. Like Jin-Woo unlocking new capabilities through leveling up, Shin Youngwoo finds clever ways to push the boundaries of the system and pursue power. With repetitive grinding and creative strategies to overcome challenges, Overgeared will be very familiar territory for Solo Leveling fans.
