Level Up! – Adventure Game Review
Level Up! is a Adventure/Roleplaying game from Brandon Stecklein, first launched in 17th November 2012.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 17+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Level Up! Stand Out
Level Up! is a fun role playing game for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. You are a lone adventurer who wakes up to find himself stranded in an evil forest. You must fight your way to safety. Along the way you will collect new weapons, powerful spells, and sturdy armor. You will travel through many worlds and encounter countless enemies. Gain power as you level up and learn new skills. Your fate is in your hands!
Level Up! RPG features:
- Over 1700 floors of dungeon crawling goodness
- Over 100 deadly enemies to fight and defeat
- Over 100 items including weapons, armor, shields, and spells
- 23 unique zones to battle your way through
Level Up RPG is made to be quick and easy to learn. It is designed so that you can either play for hours or just play for a few minutes on the bus.
The v1.5 update of Level Up RPG adds some awesome new content that you wont want to miss. A crater has opened up somewhere in the dreaded Caves of Doom. Drop down to the brutal Shores of the Underworld and battle deadly new enemies. Along the way you will find brand new weapons, shields, armor, and spells to help you fight the good fight. The best iOS role playing game just got better!
I plan on adding much more content to Level Up, including new worlds, weapons, spells, and enemies. If you have suggestions on content that I can add, or ways that the app can be improved, please e-mail me or leave a comment!
This Adventure game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
The death sword has black particles and it is made of diamonds and gold this wold be a cool Wepon.
Very interesting game, we do like it though! There should be a few things fixed, but overall it keeps us entertained.
We find them entertaining but every game of yours that we have downloaded all freeze up really short into the game honestly.
On our IPad Mini, whenever we enter the game, it keeps loading and never finishes. We will rate it better when we get to see what the game is like.
Can you make more endings besides the ship because the thing is that it's kind of short and the last game mode is REALLY HARD!!!!!! We finished the storymode and clickermode is just clicking while trying to level up. And add more strong weapons in the last game mode so it will be easier to play and the enemies… We like it to move and also with face expression move like dis >:( to >:0 "die!" Says the Happy Artist IF you get what we mean! Thanks you and also our thumbs are tired typing already.
We were playing for 10-15 minutes, then the game suddenly crashed. Tried again and continuously crashes. Uninstalled and reinstalled it. Still continues to crash. We were getting into the game but can't play like this.
So far we have only tried the story mode, but this game has kept us coming back.
Honestly, we've played this as a time waster, and we actually like it. It is repetitive and sometimes it doesn't work and you have to re-open the app, so nothing major. The game is pretty funny, and we think it's pretty nice.
The game itself we enjoy. But some parts of the game won't load and u have to reload the game a couple of times to fix it.
Even caveman could code this makey updatey to getty fivy starsy.
Its a great game and an amazing concept! However the bugs in this game make it very difficult to play. As soon as the bugs get fixed this game will be basically perfect! Keep up the good work.
This game was fun, we loved it. Now it is buggy. We play on iphone 6, and some pictures do not display, and it wont bring us to the next screen after killing an enemy. Its very difficult to play now, and we hope you fix the bugs. Thank you.
This game is very addictive and fun, sticking to the old school tradition of kill, loot, equip, level up, repeat. We can play it on the go in short bursts or just lose ourselves for as long as we want. It's honestly one of our all time favorite games. It's a fine example of the mobile gaming formula done right. Thanks for allowing removal of ads.
So when we encounter the old man we can never choose to help or ignore him and we're stuck on that screen, please fix.
We're a sucker for this game, have been playing it for three years. It's amazing how far it's come over that course of time. We love this game, and we know you will too. Highly recommended that you give this game a go. :D.
You need to fix the item drop for the most powerful weapon in the game because we found FIVE of them, if you think Im lying Ill send you a picture of it.
We enjoy the game, but occasionally it will reset your entire character forcing you to start over. And most the time items and NPC are invisible leaving the game nearly impossible to play. Not to mention that it for some reason needs wifi just to start up.
We always wanted a game like this one. Simple graphics so it's not too complicated. Thanks for this game.
Crashes as soon as it tries to update the initial files. Too bad.
Its not too complicated and its a great and simple rpg for the iphone. We recommend it.
So when we played this game in 2013, it had no decision making moves and aliens. We loved the game when we fist got it, we loved the art style, gameplay and just how sinple the game was. But now with Aliens and actual decisions, we LOVE THE GAME EVEN MOAR. We wish the game was longer, and when you 'won' or 'blew up' you sould be able to go back to any stage and go through it again. We think it was one of the best games we played. 10/10.
Simple, addicting, challenging; all words that describe our experience with Level Up. It has a simple and rare concept with a great execution, and the art style looks great but not too serious. The game itself seems like an idea that someone just happened to program for the hell of it, and look: It turned out to be GREAT. Thanks for the game.
Very good game we hope you make another game like it.
It is a pretty good game but how about the player have to make desicions for which way to go.
It started us over when we were about to beat it Because we pulled the orange lever Interesting concept.
It still has a fair amount of bugs, but the game is great. Keeps you playing for hours.
It's an ok game, and it's pretty funny(the rat!lol) but we think you should allow people to walk around.
Ok, so this is coming from a lover of fantasy dungeon crawlers such as the elder scrolls and The legend of Zelda. We are familiar with this type of genre. Very dissapointing.
A simple, but fun and addicting game.
This game is great, simple, but addictive and fun to play. With all the different sections and variable gameplay, this is where this game is better than the others.
Awesome game but next update have health be able to regen wile not playing.
Very long game, and great humor.
Very simple, fun, and innovative RPG. Highly amusing mostly for its humorous descriptions of inventory items and imaginative foes to combat. Will keep the player engaged and entertained for hours with its surprises. Am enjoying it a lot. Only drawbacks are that combat becomes too repetitive, so recommend taking breaks and coming back to it, because it will be worth it, and there was no sound in our version, but some people like that. Maybe one can play their own music. Overall, well done though for a retro-style RPG.
Its a super fun game you dont have to wait long for your stuff to regen great game.
Very fun and easy to play. It works perfectly for what it is and is great for when we have a few minutes to kill. Try it out.
Pretty good game easy to learn and addicting haha.
Very simple and very fun game! Well constructed and hilarious.
The game is great but it has a lack of weapons,armor and shields… And now we're having trouble getting into the game without having to delete our profile :/ please fix it.
This game is really great it brings back some nostalgia, and please make more games like this one.
We were playing this and we found a gem called the most powerful item in game? 1900 attack power 1900 magic attack and 60% change for hp??? It's cool ultra ultra rare.
We played this leterally all last weekend, and we got up to stage 700. There is a slight twist at the end( it involves a space rapper).
Game looks simple but we tried it anyway. Surprisingly addictive… We can't put it down now! Great new levels in the updates.
And here we were thinking you were sticking to droid. We missed this app. :). Great job B.
Gets a bit repetitive, but a good game anyway. Liking the stats system.
Great gameplay! Reminiscent of old school RPGs with new school graphics! Really easy interface! Great customization! Good overall! We'f give it 5 Stars but just after we finally defeated the ghost king to fight the troll king it popped up screen to submit this review and unfortunately we had to fight the ghost all over again and spend more gold on potions.
A fairly simple RPG, though the gameplay can get EXTREMELY repetitive. We also noticed some graphical glitches in the pack thing when there's more than two or so items on the last row of a line (more towards when it reaches 20 and above) which really doesn't look all that great… That and the game itself keeps locking up on us without fail on every level up; just a little ironic considering the name and all. We're guessing this is more something on our end, though. Still, even with those two problems it is a pretty good mindless time-waster.
This game is extremely repetitive and annoying. The game is extremely slow to respond for its 8 button gameplay. It has horrid graphics and has a terrible item system so you are way better off playing Tetris or flappy bird.
You don't need any real idea what you're doing. Simple little game with a hack and slash seasoning. If you have any difficulty making one of the stat bonuses count, tap on the words mid-screen until the disappear, then try again. Excellent game! Keep adding stuff.
Very fun game it's good to kill time.
This game is addictive like meth. You make your way through this forest by battling evil of all shapes and sizes. The little evil tree crawler looks innocuous enough, but beware. It will defeat you if you are not prepared. Seriously, play this game.
