Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive has a demo available on Steam

 I just tried the new demo of Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive on my Steam Deck.

 I've never used a controller with the original game, so it wasn't the easiest to play. However, it worked very well for what it is/  I got through one dungeon battle somehow with a SSS at the end. 

The display only goes to 1280x720, so the graphics seemed okay and mostly, the text was legible.  The audio was in Japanese and that worked as well as it does on Windows. 

I'm feeling a bit enthusiastic that they've got it working for Steam Deck.  Maybe, they can get their other games working on Steam Deck, as well.  I've heard that you can play Genshin Impact on Steam Deck, but you can't load it through Steam and that is their interface, unless you go into Desktop Mode. 

Update 2025.11.22: Is it worth US$40?  It's ready but will people buy it?

I used to buy all of my games.  There were no gacha games, so companies did their best to draw you into the game's world and keep you there.  Occasionally, there were add-ons and fixes, but rarely did that happen.  After the internet evolved, a few games required an online connection and fixes arrived by telephone cables.

 I'm not sure that anyone will buy the game, since the original is available for free.  I have too much time invested in the original.
