What is Solo Leveling: KARMA?
Solo Leveling: KARMA is a roguelite action RPG by Netmarble Neo that expands a phase of the Solo Leveling story that has so far only been hinted at. Sung Jinwoo fights the Monarchs in the Dimensional Gap over a period of 27 years. At the centre is the Broken Cup of Reincarnation, which is to be restored using fragments of Jinwoo's memories.
KARMA is a standalone game and not simply an expansion of Solo Leveling: ARISE. Netmarble combines the familiar power fantasy of the source with repeatable roguelite runs, an isometric perspective and its own story for the long time gap after the use of the Cup of Reincarnation.

Gameplay
KARMA relies on fast isometric hack-and-slash combat with a roguelite structure. Sung Jinwoo can switch between different weapons such as daggers, scythes and bows. Dodge and counter mechanics are also included, as well as Blessings, which change skills and stats during a run and enable different builds.
The Shadow Army is a central part of the combat system. Familiar shadows such as Igris and Iron fight alongside Jinwoo; the overview shown at the Tokyo Game Show 2026 also highlights different combat styles of Hunters and Shadows. Through the combination of weapons, Blessings and shadows, each run is meant to demand different tactical decisions.

Game series
Solo Leveling: KARMA belongs to the Solo Leveling franchise and expands the familiar story around Sung Jinwoo with the 27-year war in the Dimensional Gap. The game thus uses a gap that the source material only touches on briefly, rather than simply repeating the plot of Solo Leveling: ARISE.
