Unital Ring is an open-world survival game shrouded in mystery. All you can bring from your pre-fusion game are your two weapons with the longest usage times, one skill with the highest proficiency level, and your currently equipped armor. Everything else, including player stats and items, is completely reset.

In terms of gameplay, it adds a player-level system that did not exist in ALO and the parameters of TP (thirst points) and SP (stamina points). If TP or SP gets to zero, HP will begin to decrease. Therefore, managing TP and SP will be a crucial and difficult task.
